    Fact: I think Tracy will end his career as a Rocket...Houston is a classy and honest organization and I think he respects that a lot...

    fact or fiction: baker will be on the rockets roster at seasons end...

    fiction...no reason to keep him
    F/F If TMac goes down the Rockets will play as a sub .500 team.

    Fiction. The Rockets have depth now and if McGrady gets injured, Anderson will switch to SF and Wesley can start at the two, with Barry and Head backing the starting duo up. The team will definitely still play above the .500 mark with this lineup, but I doubt we'd make the playoffs. The same goes for if Yao is out.

    F/F: The Rockets will win over 55 games.

    Fact....The Rockets will win like 57 games this season.

    F/F: The Rockets will beat Dallas at least 3/4 times.

    Fiction. The Dallas team is still looking very strong and with Christie and Howard, now they have two guys who can switch around on McGrady, giving him no rest at all on offense. I say we'll win at most 3 games.

    F/F: The Rockets would be upset at least once by teams like Atlanta, Toronto, New Orleans or Charlotte.

    im leaning towards fiction:
    the only threat among those 4 is charlotte and sean may raymond felton and okafer

    those guys r gonna do way better but not enough to beat the new rockets

    f/f
    rockets will definatley win a game against detroit this season unlike last season 0-2

    Fact the real question is if the Pistons will even win a game this season...they are nothing without Brown.

    F/F Though Mutombo said this was his last season, if the Rockets come very close to winning the champ., but dont succeed, would Deke stay another year?

    Fiction. I don't know why everyone likes them so much..I would of preferred if we had the same tops as our regular just with different colours and Houston on the front instead of 'Rockets'

    Fact or Fiction...
    Yao will hit at least one three pointer in the regular season...

    Fact. With Swift now working in the post, Yao could be allowed to go back to around the perimeter and shoot 20-footers. If he doesn't make one, at least he'll attempt one. Maybe he'll shoot them in the All-Star game. [​IMG]

    Fact or Fiction,
    The Yao/McGrady duo would stay in Houston for the rest of their careers.

    Fact. I'm not absolutely sure about this, but both said that they wanted to end their careers in Houston.

    Fact or Fiction:
    Yao will have a new career high in points this coming season.

    i persoanlly think every1 was expecting him to bombard the boards and block shots
    also his feild goal percentage is thru the roof (.552) and (.655) in playoffs. with jvg letting swift do defense on the inside yao will be getting ball more

    Fiction. Maybe second. San Antonio is by far still the best defensive team in the league, we are inconsistent. I do put us ahead of the pacers an pistons though.

    Fact/Fiction- Swift will average a double double this season.

    Fact. Swift isn't a strong rebounder and that would allow Yao to have his hands on more rebounds, as long as he gets better at boxing out and plays 33 minutes.

    F/F: Tracy McGrady will put up numbers of 27/7/7.

    Fiction, I don't see him averaging enough minutes to get those numbers with Houston finally finding a nice backup at Andersen, who can slide over to the three. Plus, we have too many options now for him to average 27 points.

    Fact or Fiction: Yao will have a career year in minutes per game.

    Its AndersOn not Andersen [​IMG] Fact. Because Stromile will be there to help him the defend down low, some of the fouls will be absorbed by Swift.

    Fact or Fiction: David Wesley will be traded at the trade deadline.
