    Fiction, Lafrentz will be in that role the entire year, unless injured. Jefferson will be a key guy off the bench and will be getting 20+ minutes by Christmas, but I don't see him starting that early.

    Fact or Fiction? Doc Rivers will win his second Coach of the Year award after this season.

    P.S. Welcome to the forum!

    Fact: someday after this year he will win a 2nd coach of the year award simply because he is still young and is a good coach. in a very very weak division.

    Fact or Fiction? Ricky davis will not only start he will put up atleast 18ppg

    Fact, Doc Rivers knows what he didn't have in Orlando. He did not have a 2nd scorer to go to after TMac. Rivers sees what he has in Ricky, and he will start him. Ricky scored 21 ppg in 02-03, and 14 ppg off the bench last year. He will land in somewhere between those two at around 18 ppg.

    Fact or Fiction? Mark Blount will continue where he left off last year, and will continue to rack up the double-doubles.

    Fact: He might be less motived because now he got his pay day. But i think the running style of Doc rivers will give him the chance to continue the great play of the end of last year.

    Fact or Fiction? Celtics will win there division next year.

    Fiction: Although playing in an extremely weak division, the New York Knicks just traded for Jamal Crawford which gives them a slight edge over the Celtics right now.

    Fact or Fiction? Kendrick Perkins will finally live up to his High School hype next season.

    BTW - Welcome to JBB!

    Fiction. The Celtics have not lost any of their big men free agents as of now, and with Jefferson coming in and Lafrentz coming back, Perkins will find it hard to find minutes.

    Fact or Fiction: Paul Pierce's number will be retired if he leaves the Celtics today.

    Fiction. Yes, I said Fiction. He's had a nice career thus far, but he's not yet worthy of being lifted to the rafters yet.

    PS:
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jefferson coming in and Lafrentz coming back, Perkins will find it hard to find minutes</div>

    Irrelevant. Raef and Al J are PF's. Perkins will be fighting for PT at the Center spot, his natural position. Once Mihm's likely moved, Perk will get burn(probably around 10 per) at the 5 spot.

If Perkins's effort and talent gets questioned by Doc Rivers, there is a possibility that he will play Lafrentz and Jefferson ahead of Perkins.

    aww hagrid, you broke the string! I'll start it again:

    Fact or Fiction: Marcus Banks will establish himself as the full-time point guard starter by the all-star break.

    Fiction: Though Banks has all the tools i think it will take him atleast another year to establish himself as a starter. Possibly even more.

    Fact or Fiction: The celtics will have a "dance team" by the start of next year

    Fact, I wasn't a belliever until recently, but now I can see them going about .500 and possibly winning the incredibly weak Atlantic

    Fact or Fiction- Tony Allen becomes the next Richard Jefferson, great D and nice dunker on the break

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Tony Allen becomes the next Richard Jefferson, great D and nice dunker on the break</div>

    I'm going to say Fact, only because I can see the comparison AND I hope Tony Allen ends up as good as Richard Jefferson. Too early to tell though.

    Fact or Fiction: Chris Mihm will start the season in a Celtics Uniform


    PS: Yes, Raef and Al J <u>CAN</u> play Center. The point is, <u>we don't need them to anymore</u>, because we have Blount, Mihm (if he's not moved) and Perkins to play the spot with depth. Therefore, Perk isn't going to be competing for playing time against Raef and Al J, because they shouldn't be playing the same position. If Mihm stays in the mix or we get another center, then Perkins will likely only see 10 per max this season. He's still so young, that they aren't going to rush him, although it'd be nice to see alot more of him this season.

    Fiction, I have a feeling Raef is going to break down, but I think he'll be close to 60
    Fact, I think Ainge is going to hold on to Mihm, unless he gets a great offer for him. but I can't see anyone offering much for him

    Fact or Fiction- Blount finishes his career a Celtic
