    Fiction..Scola won't be able to get that many rebounds with Yao, Artest, Tmac and from the bench, Landry, Deke and Steve cleaning up around the boards as well. But his points will go up without having to get more touches because of cleanups around the boards and easy buckets with the focus on our Big 3...him adding to become the Big 4.

    ForF: Yao Ming will change his damn SHOES!

    fiction. he's got a hitch in his jumper and has bad shot selection to boot.

    however, he will be happy to defer to yao and ron on offense. which leads me to ask:

    FoF? tmac average a career high in assists this season.

    Good chance for FACT, even though I only gave him 6 in my signature. He will be surrounded by higher percentage shooters with more experience this year and most likely his assists will be at least 8.

    ForF: Artest will win Defensive Player of the Year?

    FoF: Rockets will have a higher TPG (Take-downs per game) than BPG (Blocks Per Game)
