    Fiction. He'll play in cornrows, not that huge fro, so a haircut won't be required.

    F/F: The Clippers trade away Elton Brand before the trade deadline for more youth.

    Fiction: Elton is still in his youth. He hasn't even reached his prime yet so I have no idea what your talking about. THey will not trade their francchise player unless they get someone whos pretty damn good.

    Fact or Fiction: Elton Brand is a top 3 Power Forward in the West.

    Fact. It's more of an opinion rather than a fact, but I personally believe so.

    F/F: Corey Maggette will be an all star by choice sometime this or next season.

    Fiction. As long as he's in the West, Cmag will never be an all-star. West is too loaded in the SF slot.

    F/F: Donald Sterling will die within 5 years and... wait that's just wishful thinking :mrgreen:. Ahem, let me restart, F/F: Donald Sterling will be a little lenient on his stingy basketball outlook and spend more on improving the team when Livingston develops in 2-3 years.

    By the way, Elton is not an all star by opinion, it's by fact. He's actually NOT an all-star by opinion. All these idiots, ahem my bad, I mean all these 'people' think that Kmart is a better PF but that's only based on opinion, not fact.

    Fiction, I hope he will, but I really don't think it will happen [​IMG]


    Also, yes Brand is a top PF, he's the 3rd in the West after the big 2, and I'd even give him a tie with JO. Also their's no way Kmart is better than him, common, their's really nothing the leads to him being better.



    F/F: Clippers will win more than 35 games this season

    Fact. He is our only "true" pg and his play making ability should help us tremendously. Although Brand and Maggette are both great scorers I always thought they would be much better if they had someone create for them, and Shaun Livingston will do that for them.

    Fact or Fiction: Chris Wilcox will be a contender for the 6th man of the year award.

    Fiction. Wilcox can be a contender for that award if the Clippers are actually a half decent team.. but they're not.. sadly [​IMG].

    F/F: The Clippers will be the most improved team next season.

    As for teams that didnt make the playoffs I'm gonna have to say Fiction. That one goes to Utah, Cleveland and Orlando for the East.

    As for horrible teams, fiction, I see you guys doing the same thing last year.

    Fact or Fairy Tale

    Clippers beat the Lakers in the 4 game series.(I vote fact)

    Fiction, they split it 2-2

    F/F: Chris Kaman will have a semi-breakout year this season.

    Fiction. I believe he'll hold hold it out until the season after this.

    F/F: Kerry Kittles will have his career year.

    Fiction. I think it'll take him some time to adjust to the new team. Can't believe he used to have a 17ppg 5rpg season! Nice steal numbers too.

    F/F: Kittles will be ranked top 15 in Steals per game this season.

    PS: Btw, where are you located at authentiq?? You posted at 6AM PST!! Are you in the East coast?

    Fiction. Kittles will be good at steals, but I doubt he still has the quickness to get more than 1.5 steals per game.

    F/F: Chris Wilcox will drop back to obscurity due to the improved minutes of Chris Kaman.

    And btw, I think Authentiq is in the Philipines. [​IMG]

    Fiction. Kaman is not proven anything to anyone while Wilcox has the Clippers have turned down numerous trade offers for him so they must be planning to use him for something big this season. Not to mention that Wilcox will get minutes at the 5 and 4 spot while Kaman will only get minutes at the 5 really do to the Clippers lack of quality big emn I think Wilcox will see alot of minutes.

    F/F Clips will be above .500 next season.

    Fiction. It's hard to see them being that good when all they have done is to underachieve again and again.

    F/F: The Clippers' new acquisitions will make an instant impact on their play next season.

    Fiction: Man as much as I like Shaun, he is not going to be the biggest impact out of the rookies this year. Dwight, Jameer, Emeka, Ben, and Luol have better chances than him because of how vital there role is to there team. Shaun is the PG behind Jaric, and Chalmers because both are experienced one at the collegic level the other at the NBA.

    Fact or Fiction:Shaun Livingston will lead the rookies in assists?

    Fact: Livingston is a great passer and if he gets the right minutes will lead the rookies in assists. Jameer Nelson is the only other person who I believe can contest with Livingston but he will be stuck behind Francis in Orlando.

    F/F: Livingston will be a clipper for life.

    Fiction, hard to stay with one team.

    F/F: Clips will trade Maggette or Brand.
