    You know how it works.

    T or F
    Robert Swift will play a relatively injury free 80 games this season.

    False. The combination of a long layoff and a long season will mean he misses at least 5-6 with niggles/general soreness.

    T/F

    Jeff Green is the best player on this team going into opening night.

    False: Jeff Green is a very talented player, but having Kevin Durant on the team makes him the second best player on this roster.

    T/F

    The Sonics interior D will be improved this year.

    True. With Kurt Thomas backing up RoboSwift it would have to be. There is no gaurantee that Durant will be better than Lewis, but it is at least likely.


    T or F? Luke Ridnour will stop whining and start being more of a leader on and of the court this year.

    True: With Allen and Lewis gone, I think Luke will be more of a leader on the floor jus tbecause he's been on the team longer than the rest of the guys (except Collison). The offense will probably fit more of his style of play. We saw last year that there was much better ball movement while Allen was injured.

    T/F

    Chris Wilcox will be more consistent on both ends of the floor.

    Edit: Sort of Off-Topic, but shouldn't we have someone other than Ray Allen as our banner now?

    False: Chris Wilcox is a wild card. He isn't talented enough fundamentally to consistently get back to the basket points from him but he is such a great athlete he will have games where he is our best player. Because of his low basketball IQ I imagine that Nick Collison and Kurt Thomas will be pushing him hard for minutes at the four. Thus I don't really see him improving dramatically from his 13.5 and 7.7 average last season. To his credit though he did play 82 games last season.

    T/F: The Sonics will have a better record this year than they did last year (31-51).

    No one wants to touch that one Shiek. If you say true you're delusional, if you say false, you're a heretic.

    True: With Brandon Roy on Portland, and LaMarcus, I can see Oden not getting huge amounts of touches. So, Durant will be running the offense and he will be the number 1 option


    T/F: Jeff Green will be the sleeper pick of this draft and at times, out shine Durant.

    False
    Durant has all the offense and better game and Durant>Green

    True. Even if he shoots 35% they will keep feeding him the ball and calling plays for him to help him develope into the weapon he will be.

    True or False? PJ will find a way to get Green into the starting line-up.

    True: Green already looks more polished and ready than Wilkens or Gelabale. Wally is coming off the bench to minimize ankle shattering likely caused by defenders looking in his direction.

    True/False:
    Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis put up 30+ in their first games against Seattle.

    True. I say 30 or really close. They definately have much to prove and especcially Allen will demand his share of shots against Seattle and Garnett andPierce will give them to him that night, just to help Allen to prove his point that He has many good years still in him.

    T/F Gary Payton finds his way back to Seattle and spends his last year as a player in a Sonics jersey.

    False: Ownership is deliberately cutting all ties to Seattle in their attempt to get out of town. GP will stay at home this season or play for Portland (because of Nate) or Golden State (close to home.)

    True or False: Delonte West will play aggressive defense and attack the hoop to force his way into the rotation and get 10-15mpg.

    True: I agree with the playing agressive and attacking the rim part, but I think that he'll get more than 15mpg. Delonte West the type of guy you want on the floor because of his hustle and his ability to penetrate and hit the open jumper.

    T/F: PJ will start Nick Collison over Wilcox at PF on opening night.

    Is anyone else going to play this game?

    False: Wilcox will get the start and Nick will come in early and often when Chris stops rebounding.

    True or False: Presti will make one more big trade before the trade deadline this year.

    False, the Sonics don't have anybody except Durant and Green that could be part of a "big" trade.

    True or false: The Sonics will have the lowest attendance in the league by far.

    False. There's still Memphis.

    T/F - KD will put up a 40-point game in his rookie year.

    True. He definately has the tools and as he will be our nr 1 option, I think it is just a matter of time, when the first 40-point game will come.

    T/F Luke will improve as a leader and play as a PG we always wanted and hoped him to be.

    Flase, Ridnour will improve and take a bigger role with Allen and Lewis gone but Delonte West will take alot of his playing time.</p>

    </p>

    True/False, Kevin Durant will average 6+ rebounds his rookie year.</p>
