I?m sure most of you have already seen these threads throughout the forum, so it?s nothing new. However, make sure you go by these rules. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NOTE: After a discussion between the JBB moderators and administrators, we have decided to keep these 'fact or fiction' threads, as they are a handy way to discuss the team during the offseason in a light-hearted manner. Please make sure they stay on topic though, any <u>off topic posts</u> will be deleted immediately. In other words, if you don't want to talk about the team in question, don't post.

Ficton, (wow I can't beleave it either) but I think one of the Sixers young players (Green, Korver, Dalembert) will have a big impact on the Sixers sucsuss thus one will be voted in...Where the Sixers stand in the East also has something to do with it... Fact or Ficton...The Sixers will get past the first 2 rounds of the playoffs
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Courtking031:</div><div class="quote_post"> Fact or Ficton...The Sixers will get past the first 2 rounds of the playoffs</div> baring injury, fact. i have to believe that. fact or fiction - the following sixers will participate in the allstar weekend: green, korver and andre?
hahaha wow good one but i wud have to say fiction....i think korver and andre can be in the all star saturday events if they want and obviously u no wat events they'll be in but i dont think willie will be chosen for the all star reserve considering james,wade,pierce,redd,its impossible for him to be chosen unless he avergaes like 25 points
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Billy King:</div><div class="quote_post">baring injury, fact. i have to believe that. fact or fiction - the following sixers will participate in the allstar weekend: green, korver and andre?</div> Fiction. Even though Korver could be a possibility again for the shootout, I don't see it as being likely that he gets chosen again. Fact or Fiction: The Sixers will catch the injury bug before December?
o ya my question.... f/f:will iverson be considered one of the most famous players in the history of the game like jordan,bird,magic,wilt or these good player but not house hold names like bernard king,gervin,andrew toney,cheeks...etc

He's already marketers dream, even though his marketing value has decreased because of the likes of LeBron James and Carmelo Anyhonty. He?s still one of those marketable players and is/will be on the most famous players in history. Fact of Fiction: Will Allen Iverson become a 10-time All-Star before he retires?

Your FACT or FICTION statement should not be a question. A question is not FACT or FICTION .... Make it a statement for which we can decide if it will be true or not. FACT or FICTION: Jim Obrien will coach the Sixers for at least 3 years.
Fact. Although I haven't seem him coach us yet, I believe JO will do a decent job. He's a man from Philly and I believe he'll do whatever it takes to make us winners.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">FACT or FICTION: Jim Obrien will coach the Sixers for at least 3 years.</div> Fact! I think his system will go well in Philly, they will go far in the playoffs...I don't see them getting a new coach for the next 5 years... F/F: Glenn Robinson will be traded by the end of the offseason.
Fiction It is a close call but I think GRob will prove valuable in the OB system. He can shoot lights out and he might get an opportunity to show that. I think they will probably keep him unless some great comes along.
Fact: With a lack of good big men in the East bedies Big Ben and Shaq Dalembert will continue to shine. He will average about 15 and 10. Everyone knows how destructive Iverson can be with a good big man and this'll show it. Fact or Fiction: A trade involving one of our yonug players such as Kyle Korver of John Salmons happens before the trade dedline this year.
Fiction. Dalembert will have a great season but the Sixers getting reconized for something other than AI? Doubt that will happen even if it should. Fact or Fiction (since no one answered mine last time): The Sixers will catch the injury bug before December?
Nice idea to get the forum back up again Avery. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting That NBA Girl:</div><div class="quote_post">The Sixers will catch the injury bug before December?</div> Fiction. I see this team being way better conditioned than last year. Jim knows what's at stake here, if they lose out players to an injury that causes the team to not reach the playoffs once again, then he'll be gone. So far he has had a loose way of handeling the media, and running things on an entirely different level, and preaching his own philosophy, which is alright, but behind the scenes he needs to adjust the guys to what they know best, the Larry Brown type of conditioning and discipline.
Fact or Fiction: The Sixers have a legitimate chance of beating the Pistons, Pacers or Heat if they reach the NBA Playoffs.
No, maybe and possibly. When I look at Miami, the only huge threat I see is mainly Shaq. I mean, they have a good team but getting past Shaq is the main thing. So, I wouldn't be to sure about Miami. Indiana is a maybe. They're a good team but I think we could beat them. Detroit... it could go either way but I see it not happening.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">F/F: Andre Iguodala will start more games this year then Willie Green.</div> Fiction. If we Willie Green would happen to get injured or doesn?t live up to the expectations, I see Aaron Mckie starting in his place. However, I think Andre Iguodala will get a couple starts, but no more than 5. Fact or Fiction: Allen Iverson will get yet another scoring title this upcoming season.
