    ^Fiction, unless we are talking the summer league. I dont think he should be playing with us yet.

    Fact or Fiction: Vassilis Spanoulis will ever be a valuable contributer to the rockets.

    Im guessing you mean Never in which case...Fact I don't think he'll be a valuable contributor, I mean alot of rocket fans don't find Sura to be a valuable contributor...

    Fact or Fiction - Bob Sura will get a triple double in the upcoming season...

    Fact, he's done it before in the past and has had a couple straight triple doubles with Atlanta. Very possible. And the part about Vassilis, I actually think he will contribute. The guy is shooting lights out in Greece and has been impressing everyone over there. I'm sure his game will convert over to the NBA no problem.

    Fact or Fiction- Can Badiane develop into a good defensive player? I'm thinking along the lines of eight points and eight rebounds if given the minutes.

    Fact. Badiane already has the body and shotblocking instincts to be a great defender. If we bring him over next season, he could learn alot from Deke, which would only put him over the top. I'm a bit worried over his lack of progress though.

    F/F: Mike James will average no more than 10 points.

    Fact.......Mike James is a good scorer. Might average 12pts a game. Fact or Fiction: The Rocket finally get the fans support and sell out 75% of they're games this year.

    Fact with as good the Rockets did last year and the players acquired during the off season there should be a great interest in the Rockets.

    Fact of Fiction: This season TMac will lead the league in scoring, Yao will lead the league in field goal percentage, and Swift with adequate minutes and guidance from Mutombo will lead the league in blocks per game.

    Fiction, T-Mac will pass a lot, cause they have no real point guard. I can see Kobe, Lebron, or Iverson leading the league in scoring cause they're think they're on a one man team. Yao could possibly lead the league in field goal percentage, but he has to beat Shaq and Amare. Finally, Swift will do well in blocks, but I don't see him doing better than Big Ben, Andrei Kirkelo or Marcus Camby.

    Fact. The Rockets were a great away team last year, but with more interest at home and an expected higher fan turnout, I can see the Rockets losing just 10 games at home.

    F/F: Yao Ming will be a Rocket for life.

    fact
    the home crowd will be packed with their three front court stars. the difference will be very slim becuase the rockets r a very good road team but who knows how the rockets will fair in the season

    fact or fiction
    with finley on board for the spurs is the 4th seed the highest seed possible for rockets

    Fiction the Spurs have been known for their slow starts and if the Rockets keep winning I dont see why they could not get higher than 4th.

    F./F. Was TMacs dunk on Shawn Bradley the reason why Bradley retired?

    You know me..........Im a go with Fact. Besides the Spurs, I don't see anybody that can topple us. We've improved on almost all cylinders, and teams like Dallas, who lost the "Rocket Killer" in Finley, and Phoenix who fell off tremendously this offseason, won't be giving us as many problems as they did last year. Fact or Fiction: The Rockets keep Ward and Baker, and make a key trade at the allstar break that puts us equal with the Spurs.

    Im going with fiction... though the Rockets might do this trade during the allstar break i dont see it putting us equal with the spurs.
    F./F. Tracy would be considered the best player in the NBA if the Rockets when the Championship.

    I'm going to say Fact. I truly believe Yao would play a huge part in the Rockets winning a championship, but with McGrady being such a high octane player and getting more attention. It'll be Tmac.

    Fact, both Howard and Anderson are best suited coming off the bench, IMO...

    Fact or fiction: Yao will dunk on Shaq this year...

    Fact. Shaq is only getting older and Yao is only getting better.

    Fact or Fiction: Houston will have another "game of the year" next season.

    Fact, he's 7-6 dude. I can definitely see a McGrady, Yao pick and role ending up with Shaq too slow rotating and Yao dunking on him.

    Fact or Fiction: McGrady will stay in Houston for long term.
