We play the Beardly Process starting April ~15th. How will we do?

Moderators: Rich Rane, NyCeEvO

How many games will we take off the Sixers?

We lose 0-4, after a season of 45/46 wins, oddly about the same finish as last season
7
33%
We somehow grab a game, kinda miraculous after after going ~.500 since the big trades
5
24%
Holy heck, we somehow grab TWO games, daggit! Is someone not "processing" as well as they could be?
3
14%
We fight a miraculous fight but lose 3-4 and accidentally expose the Sixers It seems they're still not really a contender
1
5%
Embiid gets injured (not a longshot actually) and somehow our collection of parts overcomes their collection of parts barely OMG, Nets win

Holy Cheesesteaks, Batfang! Somehow, someway, we knock them off 4-2!!

The #3 seed takes a single game off the #6 seed, and the bookies lose millions of gold bars The sounds of machine-gun fire & limbs being snapped can be heard around the country for weeks afterwards (assuming that's anything new)

Out of nowhere indeed the Messiah chooses this opportunity to come back publicly anointing the BRK Nets as the "chosen people." Nets win 4-0, and every game after, capturing the 2023 trophy with ease. (on a side note-- MGrand and MDB realise that they now have the power of flight, upon waking up the following morning)

hmm... lets see I think it works if you remove the punctuation. The periods were possibly causing the software to think there were new options.

But Bill, wouldn't it be cool to wake up one morning and discover you have wings?

SEE..? :D


Oof,
ANYWAY... yeah, I do fear we're about to get:

Swiftly
Washed,
Eradicated
Pilloried &
Thrashed

Still, I voted that we take a game, like the hopeless, optimistic fool I am. ^^

Sixers win in 5. If they let the series go to six, they are not prepared to win a championship.

F it, I said BK takes them to 7 games. This ain't the same team that got swept first round last year :wink:

Anything is possible.

I expect a sweep win by PHI

After the series we make Coach Vaughn the highest paid coach in sports history

I'm not looking at this series from side ... let's
say how many games can we win. I'm more interested in evaluating talent and what they bringing with the spot light on them.

My main focus will be on CamJ. Prove other GM's and fans that you worth the contact you looking for. Your buddy is a fringe all star making a lot of money you refused. If he fails, I'd be super exited to pack his azz out to Dallas or Orlando. You show us something, than we consider some else.

Royce been super teammate and player. I want him here.

DFS, his contract/talent is makes me want him here. Above average 7-8. Luxury to have. Let me say it again, LOVE HIS CONTACT AND TALENT FOR THAT SALARY.

Din need to be resigned for lower per year salary. At 13-15m per he will be a gold mine.

Nic exceeded all expectations by being healthy alone. In limited time from years past he already put up nice impact. This year he just stayed healthy. Next year is when he will show us if it was fluke.

Sumner, Patty and Yuta need to be retained period.

CamT need to go. He will be impact player 5+ years from now. He needs to take his lumps. Sad thing is, he could've been CJ McCallum if he had any bball IQ. Now he's another Clarkson type player.

Sharpe showed signs he can be ok back up. Don't care what happens here.

Seth needed to be traded :banghead: I really hate Marks with his player friendly crap. I don't care if his kids in school and his wife cares about stability and shops. I want assets that can help this team. He has a lot of money to be good anywhere.

From what Twitter heads speculating, that 12 pick will be available for a right players. Mavs still in play for 10th pick for now. It's just signs pointing that Silver will rig lottery. Cuban really pissed him off big out last games.

If series will be done at four, than most of the trash need to be gone. If series go 6-7 than we got something to work with.

I would consider two wins a success.

But it is doubtful the 76ers will be unprepared.

I voted for a sixers sweep, but I'm mildly optimistic actually. I think we are the biggest underdog of the playoffs and have nothing to lose. We are build for defense and that's what I'm looking for. Hopefully, we double embiid constantly and don't let him manhandle the team in single coverage. Then it's all about rotation and effort. We probably will have a 8 man rotation, but I'ld like us to go deeper if stamina kicks in.
We have the ability to surprise the league if the effort is right and the 3 drops. We don't win the series, but could make it tough for philly. To be more successful than last year, we only need 1 win. Let's gooo lol.
