    fact...vince turns the ball over because he handles it so much, he'll avg at least 3 on his own. jalen has avg'd just over 3 turnovers per the passed 3 yrs in a row. i see it happening for sure

    f/f: jalen will be a raptor come seasons end

    Fact: Jalen's contract is Huge. I love Jalen, but he is overpaid for what he brings to the club. I can't see anyother teams wanted to pay a 12,5,5 guy (guessing at the numbers) that big of a contract. I believe there are a couple of years left on that contract too.

    F/F: Raps have 5 or more players who average double digit scoring this season

    Fact. Six people will actually avg. double digits: Vince, Marshall, Bosh, Rose, Rafer and Mo. If i wanted to name a definite five however, i would take Mo out.

    F/F: Marshall will not have as good a season on the Raps as last year.

    ^ Fiction. Just don't see it happening unless Jalen comes through back to his old days....which won't happen.

    F/F: Vince will not be strengthened up and ready to play come training camp.

    Fact: Vince never works out in the offseason. He's decided that he is the best judge for what it takes for him to succeed. If the raps are going to play up-tempo. He better get some cardio in over the next 3 weeks.

    F/F: The raps rotation this season goes 8 or 9 deep? (regular rotation, not guys who play every 2 weeks)

    I heard Vince was a tank in the weight room, for a SG he's decently strong, I mean look at Jalen Rose, or Tmac, Vince should've gotten like Maggette though, so he's a tank.

    Fact, I think the Raptors will have an 8 man rotation, Marshall, MoPete and someone else coming off the bench, it could even go to 9 to have another big man coming off the bench.

    F/F: The Raptors will score 100+ points 15 or more times this season

    Fact...only if he proves himself to everyone this year again.

    F/F: The Raps will lose some much needed toughness and encouragement now that Mike Curry is definitely no longer a Raptor.

    Fiction: Mike Curry was nothing more than a snitch in the locker room. Was he tough? NO just to slow to defend younger players. So he just fouled people instead. Hardly tough. As for encouragement, nobody in the locker room trusted him. I'm glad he's gone.

    F/F: Vince has 3 or more 40+ point games this season

    Fact: He's too good to not score 40+ points in 3 games or more.

    Fact or Fiction: Chris Bosh will be fully healthy next season and won't sustain any injury.

    Fiction. The worst year of his career was 2 seasons ago...when we set that record for most man-games lost due to injury. As long as he plays without missing many games, he will never have a worse season than that one.

    F/F: This fact or fiction thread is the greatest one we've ever heard on the Raptors forum.

    Well...since people have almost forgotten about this thread, let me start another F/F.

    F/F: Mo Pete will miss a lot of valuable training time due to the allegations set against him with this woman.
