Do you remember NBA great Moses Malone? At the end of the '82-'83 regular season, after the Sixers had won 65 games (They had a chance to win what would have been a record-setting 70 regular season games, but Doc got injured late so they rested him.), a reporter asked him how he thought the playoffs would go. Moses responded "Fo', fo' fo'." (Back then, the playoffs consisted of three seven-game series.) The Sixers swept the Nets in four. They then won the first two against the Bucks but lost game three. Moses was again asked what he thought would happen. He responded "Fo', five fo'." The Sixers went on to defeat the Bucks in five and then sweep the Lakers in four.
