    Fiction: Not because they wouldn't be capable, but because of garbage time.

    F o F: Luis Scola will show a considerable improvement with his free throws.

    Fiction: A player like Scola's age is hard to improve free throw% since it's adjusted with your hand. In other words, ur born with certain free throw %.

    FoF: The big three will each average under 20 ppg because of great team work and great defense, thus dragging each procession longer.

    Fact. This is no doubt, the big three will shoot less but win more games, like what happened to Celtic last season.

    FoF: In the end, Landry will sign a second-year rookie min contract for his stupid agent.

    Fact.

    FoF? We don't have enough length in our frontcourt.

    If Deke signs, we will only have two players 6'10+ while the Lakers may have up to six. Plus, Deke can't play PF while the Lakers can play multiple 6'10+ PF/C combos (Gasol/Bynum, Odom/Bynum, Odom/Gasol, Radmanovic/Bynum, Radmanovic/Gasol, Gasol/Mihm, Odom/Mihm, Odom/Mbenga, etc...).

    fiction: Scola will be have the fewest points of the Starting 5 with Yao's return. If Yao goes down again, then this would be a fact.
