I saw this on the Miami Heat forum and thought it'd bring some more activity during the off-season.

So somebody says a scenario (i.e.: # of wins, player stats, team stats, etc.) and the job of the next person is to say whether that last statement is a fact or a fiction stated by why and then their own fact or fiction statement.

I will start: This is Sloan's last season.

fiction

this is harprings last season.

fact

Fes will play a significant role this upcoming season?

Fact

AK will still be with the jazz by the end of next season.

fact.

Colllins will be traded.

Fiction. The Jazz wont move him or Harp.

F or F: Koufos will play in the first regular season game.

Fiction. Koufos will have twice as many minutes in a Jazz uni this year as Fesenko.

Fact. Koufos is twice the athlete, hard worker and is fundamentaly sound. He's a Sloan player.


F or F: The Jazz sign a big man if they don't match OKC's offer to CJ.

Fiction, they go with the young guys and Collins to run the middle.

The jazz loose Boozer, Kyle and Memo next yr, and still make enouth moves to make the playoffs the following yr.

I can see them losing one or two but not all three. So mostly fact but not all so I go fiction.

F or F: Almond has a break out year much like Brewers last year and all the Jazz fans will be heard saying CJ who?

Fiction, i think we will be seeing Almond get CJs minutes and rarely see him play this season.

F o F - Deron will make the all star game

Fact. He was the best PG down the strech last year and will continue it next year.

F or F - Deron defends his Skillz competition title.

Fact

Harpring will enter the 2009 NFL draft (Did you know he used to play football?)

Fiction. Boozer is traded by midseason.

Fiction. Deron will be pissed if Boozer is traded.

Harpring will undergo another surgery on both ankles.

Fiction It will be both knees

Jazz will match CJ's offer and by seasons end AK or Boozer will be traded opening up a starting spot for CJ.

Fact, I think that AK is gone by the deadline to make room for Boozer's contract, in turn opening up a rotation spot for CJ.

Harpring has a season ending injury and he decides to retire.

Fiction. The Jazz have three representatives in the All-star game (Deron, Booze, either Memo or AK).

Fact. I have a feeling we will see another spike in AK's production. Similar to what we saw between 06-07 and 07-08. Also, I think the Jazz come storming out of the gates next year and are a strong sentimental choice to have sufficient All Star representation as a result.

F or F: Deron Williams makes another leap in his 4th season, improving every major category, and comfortably averaging 20 and 10.

Fiction, because 20 is only 1.2 points away from his 07/08 posting. I wouldn't consider 20-21 points a huge improvement. Plus, he already averaged 10.5 assists last year.

But if your general point is just that he'll post 20 and 10 (and it won't be rounded up from 19.5 and 9.6 at the end of the year), then I'll say fact.

Fact or Fiction: Whatever his worth to the team this season, Kyle Korver's field goal shooting averages will continue to be disproportionately low, compared to his immense ability.
