Full Court Miracle Page #5

We're Going To Talk

About A Winning Called The Maccabees,

Who Turned Their Defense

Into Offense.

And We're Going

To Do The Same Thing.

It's Called

A Full-Court Press.

All Right, My Dogs.

That Was A Great Shot.

You Got To Ask

Yourself, Alex,

If You Were A Ghost,

Where Would You Go

At Night?

[Car Horn Honking]

It's My Mom.

Anyone Need A Ride?

Yeah. T.J.

T.J.?

Thanks, Bro.

Alex, Come On, Man!

What's Alex Doing?

What Is He Doing?

Being Schlots.

Hey, Watch It!

Well, Congratulations.

Now You Know

I Live In My Van.

Uh, You Don't Have

Any Family Or Anything?

You Know, Schlots,

Sometimes People Need

Their Space.

Uh, People, Maybe.

What About Ghosts?

Ghosts?

Well, Yeah.

Some Of The Guys

Not Me--Think

That You're The Ghost

Of Judah Maccabee.

Why Is That?

Um, Same Nickname,

Same Number Of Brothers,

Stuff Like That.

Well, I've Never Heard

Of A Ghost With

Bad Knees. Have You?

I Never Thought You Were.

Uh...I'm Going

To Leave Now.

Schlots...

Since You're Already

Down In The Hood,

How About Staying

For Dinner?

So, What Was

Your Average?

27 Points, 10 Rebounds,

10 Assists.

That's Amazing!

That Was Only In C.B.A.

Those Are

Solid Stats

Anywhere.

I Mean, I Would Give

Anything To Do

What You're Doing.

What? Live

In A Grungy Van?

No, Man. You Know,

Following

Your Dreams.

Doing What You Love.

You Want To Know

What I Love?

That's Charmaine,

My High School Sweetheart.

The Little Guy There,

That's Trey.

Already Got

A Great Hook Shot.

Where Are They?

Back In Virginia.

I Bet You Miss Them.

Every Day.

Chase Big Dreams,

You Got To Make

Big Sacrifices.

Hey, Alex, Maybe

You Shouldn't Tell Anybody

About Where I Live.

I Know You're

Cool With It, But...

Just Not Sure

About Mrs. Klein,

You Know?

Yeah. As Long As You

Don't Tell The Guys

About Me

Coming To Check

If You Were A Ghost.

Hey, I'm Not Doing

So Good As Lamont Carr.

Maybe Being This Judah Guy

Will Give Us All Some Luck.

27 Points...

Mr. Carr, I See

You've Neglected

To Fill Out Your

Place Of Residence.

Yes, Um...

I-I Recently Moved,

And The Address

Slipped My Memory.

You Know How

That Can Be.

I Guess Not.

Our Insurance Policy

Requires That

The School Provide

Our Employees'

Place Of Residence.

Of Course. Um...

7...

7...

6...

6...

2...

7...

Jefferson.

Jefferson.

Thank You,

Mr. Carr.

You're Welcome.

Thanks, Tom.

[Singing In Hebrew]

Happy Hanukkah.

Give Me A Kiss.

Happy Hanukkah.

Uh, An Encyclopedia Cd.

This Is Just

What I Wanted. Thanks.

You're Welcome,

Even Though

You Are Faking It.

Try This.

Wow! Dr. J.

How Did You Know

I Sold It?

Julie Snitched.

Happy Hanukkah,

Honey.

Mrs. Klein:
Why Would

Coach Carr Lie

About His Address?

I Drove Up And Down

Jefferson Today,

And 7627 Does Not Exist.

Yes. That Is Odd.

No, No, No.

Odd Is Wearing Socks

That Don't Match.

Odd Is Pistachio Ice Cream.

I Like Pistachio.

Falsifying An Application

Is A Serious Offense, Rabbi.

Yes, Yes. Well,

Perhaps He Has

A Good Reason.

Please Don't

Straighten My Desk.

I Cannot Take

Any Chances.

Not When The Safety

Of My Students Is At Risk.

Yes, Yes. Well,

Perhaps We Should

Keep An Eye On Him.

That's Exactly

What I Intend To Do.

Oh, Dear.

Brian, B-. Huh, Huh.

Jacob, A-. Hmmm.

You Could Do Better.

Ha-Shem Answers

Prayer, Alex,

But Sometimes,

The Answer Is...

Next Time,

Try Studying.

C-. Come, Come, Come.

We Have Another

Serious Problem

To Discuss.

Principal Klein

Plans To Follow

Coach Carr Home

After Basketball Practice

Tonight.

And Should She Discover--

I'm Just Making This Up--

That He Lives In A Van...

I'm Not Sure I Could

Overrule Her Objections

To Him Working Here.

If He Lived In

A Regular Apartment,

That Would Be Ok, Right?

Would That Be Possible?

Cover My Back

With Coach.

Da, Da, Da, Da, Da...

C-.

Dad...

Alex...

What're You

Doing Home?

You're Still Having Trouble

Selling The Bender Condo, Right?

The Last Serious

Offer I Got,

I Was Riding

My Pet Dinosaur.

Well, I-I Think I Have

Someone Who Wants It.

Um, But He Doesn't

Know It Yet.

And I'm Pretty Sure

He Can't Afford It.

Great, Great.

That's Exactly The Kind

Of Client I Dream About.

[Car Horns Honking]

Alex, What's

Going On?

What's This?

The Key To This Door.

Count To 5,

Then Unlock It

And Come In.

Hey, Uh...

But, I...

One... 2...

Quiet!

3... 4...

Oh!

Can't Afford It.

Well, You Can Stay

Here For Free Until

My Dad Sells It.

I Don't Take

Hand-Outs.

Dad Says

They Sell Better

If There's Someone

Living In Them.

I Can't Even Afford

The Utilities.

I'll Pay

The First Month.

Excuse Me?

I'll Sell

My Dr. J. Card.

Again.

I Told You...

I Don't Take Charity.

End Of Discussion.

It's Not Charity.

It's A Trade.

You Get An Apartment.

I Get A Coach.

Hard To Argue

With That.

It's Hard To Argue

With Schlots, Period.

Ok, Ok. Um...

What Do You Say

Alex Keeps His Card,

And Instead,

I Finish The Place Up

And Do Some Painting?

Mr. Carr,

We've Got A Partnership.

All Right.

Yes!

Liberty Tournament,

Here We Come.

Alex...

Marshall...

I Got Pizza!

C-.

It's Becoming Clear

That Alex Can't Handle

Both School And Basketball.

Do You Remember

What Rabbi Kaplan

Used To Say?

Sometimes A Blessed

One Waits On Us,

And Sometimes

We Would Do Well

To Wait On

The Blessed One.

He Also Said

The Blessed One

Looks With Favor

On Those Who Act.

Dr. Schlotsky And I

Are Prepared To Involve

The Board Of Directors

If We Believe

Academic Standards

Are Being Sacrificed.

There's No Need

For That.

If Things Don't

Turn Around Soon,

I Promise

I'll Intervene

Personally.

With Your Patience, Rabbi,

Our People Might Still

Be Wandering The Desert.

Ha-Shem Works

In Mysterious Ways.

Not Nearly So Much

As A Rabbi

Scheming To Win

Some Silly

Basketball Tournament.

Sometimes, A Little

Silliness Is Good

For The Soul.

Here. Watch.

Bowl--The Bowl.

Ready?

Woo, Woo, Woo.

Ohh!

Ahh.

Ah. I Insist

That You Try.

You Try.

I Insist.

The Bowl, The Bowl.

All Right.

Ahh!

Mrs. Klein!

Mrs. Klein!

Yes!

Oh. I Have Work

To Do.

Mmm.

Let's Hold It Down,

Dogs, Let's Hold It Down.

Now, Whatever Happened

Before, Is Behind Us.

Understand?

Ben, What Do Dogs Do?

Barf On The Carpet.

Dogs Bark, Coach.

Thank You, T.J.

Dogs Bark.

So, I'm Asking My Dogs

Is This A New Team?

Ruff.

Woof.

Woof.

Ruff.

Oh, Stop, Stop, Stop.

That's Pathetic.

Is This A Team?

I Want A Bunch

Of Bulldogs.

[Barking Like Dogs]

All Right. That's Better.

Ok. Now...

Every Dog On This Does What's Best

For The Team, Right?

[Barking Like Dogs]

And The Team Does

What's Right For Every Dog.

Let Me Hear It.

[Barking Like Dogs]

So, The Is Going To Ask Schlots

To Sit This One Out, Right?

Because He's

Failing History.

So, Until He Gets

His Grades Up,

The Best Thing The Can Do For Him

Is Do Without Him.

All Right, Guys,

Let's Go.

Come On.

Come On, Dogs,

Let's Go! Go!

Let's Get It On.

All Right. Here We Go.
