fiction, someone in our division already has a black jersey and we don't want to look like the Spurs now would we? Fact or Fiction: Alston will lead the league in assist?
Fiction. It will be one of the usual suspects: Nash, Paul, Kidd, Williams, etc... FoF? Alston will shoot better than 40% from the field for the first time as a Rocket.
Fiction. We won't even see that lineup one time. FoF? T-Mac will shoot >45% from the field for the first time since 02-03.
fact, Artest, Yao, and Scola are going to be taking a lot of pressure off Mac. IMO, if he shoots less than 45% from the field the Rockets are not taking advantage of Artest. Fact or Fiction: Yao will lead the Western Conference in Blocks, and be in the top 5 in the NBA.
Fiction, can you say Camby? Also who knows how well Bynum and Oden will jump start? ForF: Alston (1), Artest (2), Battier (3), Hayes (4), Yao (5) = Greatest defensive line up posible in the NBA at the moment.
Fact - all 5 are at least top 3 in the league in defending their respective positions F/F: Yao will earn the respect of the refs this season and avg 10ft/game
Fiction. Yao won't get that type of respect until he has success in the playoffs. F/F: Francis will play more minutes as a Rocket this season than Aaron Brooks.
Fiction.... AB is the future and SF is fading Fact or Fiction: Morey will make a move to get us a better PG?
Fiction. Rockets will be doing too well to risk changing the chemistry. ForF. Brent Barry's 3 point % wil be higher this year than last year (.429)
Fact, Artest should increase those FT attempts F/F: Artest will be suspended for at least 1 game first than any other Rocket (doesn't include Rafer's possible suspension for his recent law altercation)
Fiction. Artest will be a model citizen, at least at the start of the season. Fact or fiction? We will get untold amounts of love from the press this season, because our team now has the most diverse group of personalities in the league; i.e. our team is now a sort of sitcom.
I'll restart from here: Fiction, once a hater always a hater! F or F: At least 5 of the Rockets are gamers.
Fiction. They have better things to do most of the time, like go to the gym and work on their game. I'm sure some of them play, but not to gamer standards. FoF- We will win more 4th quarter comebacks this year than any other year in Rockets history.
Fiction - we will already be in the lead so 4th qtr comebacks won't be necessary F/F: We will have multiple players on both the All-NBA and All-Defense teams
