Question & Answer

[ReubenJRD]

False - Too many new parts and likely changes to system so Nurse can differentiate himself from Casey

True or False, Kyle Lowry will average over 20ppg?

True, as noted above, Lowry's usage will increase, and he managed to score 16 points last season on fewer shots, but much more efficiently. With Kawhi/increase usage of JV, he'll have the looks.

T/F - Kawhi Leonard will average above 25 points this season.

T/F - Kawhi Leonard will average above 25 points this season.

True. He's playing for redemption, stick it to San Antonio, a whole country, a giant new contract and his choice of where to land....

T/F Raptors are top 3 in attendance this season and TV ratings are at an all-time high.
Note:
More than 22 million fans attended an NBA game this season, establishing a new record for total attendance. The average attendance per game of 17,987, was also the highest NBA regular season average of all-time.
Raps were 4th in overall attendance so it seems a no brainer that they would move up the ladder, especially since #2 was Cleveland who will plummet.....But Raps already had 100% attendance....

True. MLSE money-grubbers will find a way to charge fans to get into Jurassic Park and count that as "attendance".

T/F: The Demar Derozan led Spurs will win at least 1 round in the playoffs?

T/F: The Demar Derozan led Spurs will win at least 1 round in the playoffs?

False. The spurs will finish 6th and lose to the Lakers in the first round. Demar will say before game 3, "hey wed probably win if we had lebron James on our team"

True or false: coach Casey and coach nurse will shake hands at the first game against Detroit

[Rudy Bargnani]

False..they will do the wave.

True or false a trade is made before the trade deadline. (By the raptors)

[Kuh]

True. A salary-clearing trade will be made that ships out either Powell or Ibaka.

True or false: Powell will leave the Raptors before Ibaka does.

[LJ2]

True. A salary-clearing trade will be made that ships out either Powell or Ibaka.

True or false: Powell will leave the Raptors before Ibaka does.

True - Ibaka has a clear role and spot on the roster. Powell will have to beat out so many good players on this roster to get mins.

True or False, with DeMar gone, and the bromance shattered, will Lowry be a better leader this season?

T. Less bromance which really was alienating for the rest of the team when you think about it will make Lowry a better and more effective leader.
I don't know Kawhi's post game rituals but I hope he's not a stand-around and hug the other teams stars and make dinner plans with the enemy kind of guy

T/F The Raptor mascot will be played this season by GM Bobby Webster, in a cost cutting move.

F. -- The Raptor mascot will be significantly taller as the organization finds a way to keep Bebe around.

T/F -- Raptors win both Spurs games. (bonus T/F: -- by ten or more points)

T/F -- Raptors win both Spurs games. (bonus T/F: -- by ten or more points)

False.. Kawhi will not have a good game against the Spurs in San Antonio. Even Lebron had tough games in Miami and Cleveland when he was on the opposing team. I suspect a win in Toronto, but a loss in SA.

True/False: Kyle will average less than 32mpg (he averaged 32.2mpg last year in 78 games).

(a bit for Bebe but mostly for the toy store)

(a bit for Bebe but mostly for the toy store)

They buried themselves. When we were kids it was a freaking attraction to go there, like a mini adventure. A kids dream. Parents enjoyed it somewhat too and didnt mind paying a little more for toys and games with better selection. By the end of their run they were basically a larger wal mart toy section. Retail is a tough tough market right now, but they have to maintain their original prestige no matter the cost to have any hope.

F, Kyle sits in more blowouts this season. Still close to 30.

T/F This is one of the longest Summers ever....waiting

False. This is one of the shortest summers ever in terms of waiting for NBA as the season starts October 16. And summer is always the same length in terms of calendar; June 21 to September 22.



T/F Bebe finds a job and plays 50+ games in the NBA this year
