    Just to liven this forum up, during the offseason. For those who don't know how to play, you post a statement that the next poster will then answer with either Fact (if they agree) or Fiction (if they don't) and an explanation. Afterwards, they will post a new statement for another poster to answer with and so on.

    Fact/Fiction
    Jason Kapono averages around 15ppg this season.

    Fiction - JON takes too many shots and Bosh still has to get his. Plus, I don't see Smitch giving him more than 20 MPG

    Fact or Fiction - Bargnani is traded this season

    Fiction - He told them "Do you like living in this house? Your stay here will be very short if you don't pose for this picture".

    Fact or Fiction -> Jose Calderon will average 11 assists per game.

    Fiction: He has the ability to, as evidenced by his averages as a starter this past season. But the Raptors don't play a fast-break style and I'm going to factor in the inevitable fatigue that comes with being a full-time starter. I say he averages 10 a game.

    F/F? Joey Graham cracks the rotation and averages over 15 minutes a game (for context, he averaged 16 mins a year ago and 8 mins last season).

    Fiction: He just doesn't have what it takes with us. I don't think he can do any better un SMitch and will just regress unless he is traded

    Fact/Fiction:
    Jermaine O'Neal and Chris Bosh combine for 40.8 points, 19.5 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game.

    Fiction: They probably will take enough Jumpshots to get around 40 ppg, however they will get closer to 17 rpg than 19.5.

    Fact or Fiction: Bosh and JON combined will shoot better than 50%.

    Fiction: Only Bosh has surpassed the 50% mark and he did it only once. I won't rule out the possibility though, because neither player has had more help (in the frontcourt and with their shooters). I say they hover around 48-49% shooting.

    F/F? Roko Ukic earns the backup PG spot in his rookie year.

    Fact: He's a very good player and should be able to earn it.

    Fact/Fiction: Jamario Moon will improve his stats and take way less jump shots.

    fictional fact
    Moon's jumper will improve but overall his stats will be the same or lower.

    Smitch gives JO a man kiss at some point this season.

    Fact: and he proceeds to slap his ass emphatically.

    F/F: Colangelo wishes he never traded Villaneuva on his rookie contract for Ford who he had to pay 8 mill per year for to keep.

    Fiction: He got injured and I don't think he regrets anything.

    Fiction- He will play behind Hump at the start of the season maybe by the end he could prove himself.
