I was thinking about not adding a poll this time, hmm okay I’ll redo it with a poll.

Edit: Did it. I think this poll is nice and succinct. Give me more poll ideas when we reach near the TWO 8.0 thread.

Is not adding a poll the equivalent of Rudy Gay banning Stat sheets after a game? May not want to see the numbers of tWo members dwindling after every win.

Would like to avoid the play-in range altogether. Either finish top 6 and make the playoffs or shoot for a top 10 pick.

There's talent to be had in the top 10. Any of Smith, Banchero, Chet, Ivey, Duren, Hardy, Davis, Mathurin, Murray or Brown would be a great get.

Edit: Added the poll

No, I added a poll last year when we had fake wins to get back to .500. It’s just, 6.0 ended so fast the question would have been so similar because we haven’t really progressed through the season that far.

6.0 might be the fastest thread to 100 pages in the series so far.

This poll, 720 did it again. :lol:

Let's hope tWo is a bit friendlier this time around and that they lay off the insults and personal attacks.

Feel the same way. If we’re top 6 then that shows serious growth. If not then I would love to be in that 10-12 draft range.

There has to be some post stickied in this thread to outline exactly what tWo is all about.

Too many folks got it twisted. STILL.

If and when healthy, this is a Top 6 team in the East. With a better bench, it's a Top 5 team.

Wow 7.0 already. Are we outpacing last year's efforts?

No this is in addition to last year. But we are going through pages much quicker this year. I want to include both years because this is a journey. Ultimately ending after this upcoming lotto where we add another star prospect to the core (fingers crossed).

I'm so torn. The research showed that no team has ever won a championship with a top 5 pick, but then I see Scottie and the boys out there and can they really defy history? We are about to find out!
