“Cressa in the Creasa. Burton be Hurtin.”

P2 Hey Coach is we the “x’s” or da “O’s”? “I will get to that!”

P1 It looks like Mimi wore her see thru pants for this game.

P1 Who are you? Why are you distracting us with this stuff, get out of here lady, we have a state playdown game to play

P2 Mimi’s twins talking to the hand?

Ummm leave us alone lady, on D we’re going to put CK on their point guard to pound her into submission then switch out to which ever wing has the hot and and do the same

On O, Cressa & Becca will drive the lane for the high percentage shots, only kicking out to Tessa if B&B pack the paint

Now get out of here and let us play blondie

P3 All eyes are on Cressa as CK lands well timed elbow blows to R&B ribs and kidneys when the Refs are looking at the play, while Tessa pouts alone in the corner about her lousy stat sheet

In all reality , the X & O s went right over everyone’s heads Mimi .

CK before the tipoff: “We’re gonna out-moustache them in the paint. The ‘stache -and-roll will let us freeze out Tess. I don’t know what that tic-tac-toe jive Coach was pushing.”

P3- Hey Cressa! Richard Pryor called. He wants his mustache back.

P1, Who is this woman and why is she talking to us?

P2, The team wonders why this stranger is playing Tic-Tak- Toe in front of them by herself.

P3, Cressa Baxter smashes her head into the ceiling and is forced to leave the game. Can the Mudlarks hang on? Stay tooned.

I wonder how many rounds in the playdowns before they get to play for the championship??

CK on the point guard=neutralized (black eye)

“Wings?” What on earth is the “wing” position in BBall? 5 players, Center, Point Guard, Guard, and 2 Forwards

It was good strategy to come up with the idea to shoot accurately at the basket.

Burr & Burton…..sounds like Mitch & Murray from Glen Garry-Glen Ross

I’m confused, why is there so much basketball happening? Isn’t this a strip about teenage angst? Where’s the drama? Where’s the gossip?

Tough draw for the first round, as Mudlarks are shipped to Vermont! Who’s next? Hamilton and Taylor?

Coaches Held Hostage: Kaz, Day 48.

I predict, that without the home-court advantage of Vic’s banter and witticisms, Milford chokes, NBA style, in the last 3 minutes of the game.

The writers aren’t fooling around. We’re jumping right into the Playdown game so that tomorrow we can end on a cliffhanger and then Monday or Tuesday Tessi somehow blows the game. Some lame resolution to the Vic story and by the following Monday, play ball!

And speaking of lame resolutions, you can always count on Mopped Up Thorp for one of those two things happening.
