FACT.

1. The Chicago Bulls will make the playoffs.
Why not? It's the East, and more than half of them make the Playoffs, so odds are in their favor. FACT.

2. Flip Saunders will be the coach of the Twolves next year
90% of the teams in the league would have fired him by now, but I think McHale will stick with him and retool next year. FACT.

3. Larry Brown will be the coach of the Pistons next year.
FICTION. His term is up... on to the Knickerbockers.

4. Ron Artest will play for the Pacers next year.
FACT. They will try to trade him, but he won't attract anything of value.

5. Luis Scola will play for the Spurs next year.
I think he'll be on the roster... don't know if he'll play. FACT.

5. Brent Barry will perform well in the playoffs.
FICTION. Call me a cynic... I've grown to distrust Spurs shooters in the postseason.

6. Tony Parker will average > 17 points and > 6 assists in games played the rest of the season.
FICTION. As Parker's game receives more national attention, defenses will shift their focus to him, and his numbers will probably suffer.

7. Jason Kidd will finish the year on a team other than the Nets.
FICTION. Kidd + Carter + Jefferson + Lottery pick? Too enticing to pass up.

8. LeBron James will be All-NBA First team this year.
FICTION. Second team behind Nash and Wade. Not that he doesn't deserve it.

9. The Phoenix Suns will make it to the WCF.
FICTION. Not ready for Prime Time.

10. The Washington Wizards will make it past the first round of the playoffs.
Doubtful. They will probably have the fourth or fifth seed and face either Detroit, Cleveland or Indy. I don't like their chances against any of those teams. FICTION.

[Ballcox]

1. The Chicago Bulls will make the playoffs. Fact, the east is a joke, they just need to play slightly better than .500 ball rest of the way and they're in.

2. Flip Saunders will be the coach of the Twolves next year. Fact, he's a good friend of McHale, can't see him getting axed after one sub-par season, now if he goes two seasons in a row like this one, could be gone.

3. Larry Brown will be the coach of the Pistons next year. Fact, the Pistons will struggle some this year, almost make the finals, Larry will want to come back for another try with them.

4. Ron Artest will play for the Pacers next year. Fact, bottom line is he produces points and plays lock down D, the Pacers will look past the all of his negatives and focus on his production.

5. Luis Scola will play for the Spurs next year. Fiction, needs another year of seasoning.

5. Brent Barry will perform well in the playoffs. Fact, he's finding his flow now, will only improve towards the playoffs.

6. Tony Parker will average > 17 points and > 6 assists in games played the rest of the season. Fiction, the 6 assists I can see, the 17 points, not quite yet.

7. Jason Kidd will finish the year on a team other than the Nets. Fiction, I don't think other teams want to take on that huge salary with the recent physical problems he's been having combined with his advancing age.

8. LeBron James will be All-NBA First team this year. Fiction, next year I can see, not quite this year. Close, but not quite.

9. The Phoenix Suns will make it to the WCF. Fact, IF Nash stays healthy, if he's not playing, no way they make the WCF.

10. The Washington Wizards will make it past the first round of the playoffs. Fact, they've got a good nucleus on that team and making it out of the 1st round in the east should fairly easy.
