Let's Go!

Boy:
Defense, Defense!

Come On, Dogs, Let's Go!

Yes! Yo, Defense!

I'm The Only Who's Ever

Cared About This Team.

I Found Lamont, And Now

They're Playing Without Me.

Gee, They're Playing

Great Even Though

You're Not There

To Hog The Ball.

Imagine That.

Why Do You Even Bother

To Show Up For My Games?

You Saying You Don't

Want Me To Come?

Not If You're Just

Going To Hassle Me.

Press! Press!

Julie, Come On!

You Know I Didn't...

Mean It.

[Moans]

[Doorbell Rings]

Hey, Alex, You Home?

Schlots!

Hey, Alex, We Heard

Rabbi Lewis

Say You Could

Take A Do-Over

On The Test.

Why Are You Guys Here?

Because We're A Team.

If One Of Us Is In Trouble,

We Come Running

To The Rescue.

I'm Just Going

To Fail Again,

And All I Can Think About

Is Basketball.

I Can't Concentrate.

I Can't Remember

Names And Dates And Stuff.

Impossible! You Know

Every Player's Stats

That We've Based All Season.

Well, I Guess I Just

Think Better

With A Ball In My Hand.

Well, Start Dribbling.

What?

You Dribble, We'll Feed You

The Names And The Dates.

You Know, Like Stats.

Third Quarter,

20 Seconds

On The Stop Watch.

Who's The Most

Villainous Player?

Oh. King Antiochus.

Oh, Go.

Take It, Stick. Go.

When Did

The Maccabees

Reclaim Their Temple?

You Know,

Win Home Court

Advantage?

B.C.E. 165.

All Right, Uh,

What Time Of Year?

Tick, Tick, Tick...

Oh, Uh, Kislev 25,

3 Years After

The Fighting Began.

[Cheering]

Schlots!

Schlots!

Schlots!

Do You Mind

If I, Uh...

Dribble?

You Know, Like,

An Imaginary Basketball?

Whatever It Takes.

[Blows Whistle]

Hey, Why Aren't We

Waiting For Schlots?

Not Your Problem.

Worry About Your Own Game.

Haven't You Noticed?

We Don't Have A Game.

Without Alex, They

Killed Us Yesterday.

What?

Circle Up,

My Doubting Dogs.

It's Time You Get Game.

[Playing A Dribbling Beat]

Now, A Game Starts

With Trust.

When Every Dog

Trusts Himself

Enough To Try--

Make A Shot, Snag A Pass--

Pretty Soon, You Start

Trusting Each Other.

You Become A Team.

And When 5 Guys

Are Playing Together

As A Team,

Ooh, It's The Most

Beautiful Thing.

Yeah! Because A Is Like A Body.

You Got The Feet

Doing One Thing,

You Got The Arms

Doing Another.

Ha Ha. But You Guys,

Everything Is Alex.

"Alex, Alex. Coach,

Where Is Alex?"

It's Like You Got A Head,

But No Legs, No Arms,

No Knees, No Elbows,

No Nothing.

That's All About

To End Today.

And It Stops With You.

Come On, T.J.

How Many Technicals

You Got?

I'm Leading

The League.

Then, You're

Taking Yourself

Out Of The Game.

So, Every Time

You Get Mad

At The Ref?

I Want You To Think

Of The Sweetest

Thing.

Sweetest Thing.

Yeah.

Rebekah Bloomberg.

Ooh! Rebekah Bloomberg.

All Right.

Ha Ha.

So, Every Time

From Now On,

When You Want To,

You Know, Take

The Stripes Off The Ref,

I Want You To Think

Of Your Sweet Thing

Rebekah Bloomberg.

That's Right. Ha Ha.

Here You Go.

Stick Man...

You're The Arm.

I Want You To Think...

Hook....

Hook...

Hook...

Hook.

Whoo!

Joker, Over Here.

You The Mouth.

Put It To Work.

Trash Talk Your Man.

Make Him So Rattled

That He Can't Even Stand.

You're So Slow,

They Call You Molasses.

You're So Fat, You Need

2 Pair Of Glasses.

Oh!

Ha Ha Ha.

Yes! Yes!

Hey, Coach,

What Part Am I?

Let's See... Oh!

You The Butt, Baby.

The Butt?

You're The Best

Rebounding Tool

We've Got.

I Want You To Think

Wrecking Ball.

Think Bulldozer.

Why Can't

I Just Think

Rebekah Bloomberg?

'Cause You The Butt,

Baby.

Come On. Knock Me Out

Of The Key. Hit It, Hit It.

Oh!

All Right!

Whoo!

Yo!

There You Go!

Tuck It!

Yo! Sing Me

The School Song.

We Are

The Lions...

No, No, No.

That's The Old Song.

I Want The New Song.

The Downtown Version.

It Goes,

You Are The Lions

We Are The Lions

The Mighty,

Mighty Lions

Mighty,

Mighty Lions

Everywhere

You Go

People Want

To Know

Who We Are

So, You Tell Them

We Are The Lions

You Are The Lions

The Mighty,

Mighty Lions

Mighty, Mighty Lions

Everywhere We Go,

People Want

To Know

Who You Are

So, We Tell Them

We Are The Lions

You Are The Lions...

The Envelope,

Please.

On The History Test

That Mr. Schlotsky

Took This Morning,

He Received...

A B+.

Congratulations.

Go Suit Up.

Everybody.

We're Cutting

Practice Short.

I've Got To Meet

A Friend.

Boy:
Really?

You Have Friends?

[Carr Shouting Commands]

Oh! Very Pretty.

Yeah!

All Right, All Right.

All:
One, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8.

O-Oh!

Go, Lions!

All Right. Bring It In,

Men, Bring It In.

Ok, Ok. Yeah.

I Say My Dogs

Are Good To Go.

But, Um, It Turns Out,

You Going To Have

To Go On Without Me.

What?

Yeah. Last Night,

I Played A Pick-Up Game

With An Nba Buddy.

He Talked

To Some People,

And This Morning,

The Sixers Called.

Their Back-Up Guard

Went Down,

And They Want To Sign Me

To A 10-Day Contract.

What's Up With

All The Long Faces?

Thought My Dogs Would

Be Happy For Me.

We Are,

But What About Us?

Yeah. What About

All The Stuff You Said

About Our Being A Whole Body?

Listen, Practice Hard,

Play Hard,

Study Hard. Take Pride

In Who You Are.

You'll Be Just Fine.

Ok, Guys,

Great Practice.

Hit The Showers.

Alex:
We Won't Do Fine.

The Tournament's In 2 Days.

I Kept My Word.

Deal Was I Would

Coach You Guys Until

The Sixers Called,

And They Called.

Look, I Know Coaching

A Bunch Of Kids

Isn't The Nba...

Listen To Yourself.

You Want Me To

Give Up On My Dreams

So You Can Have Yours?

You Were Starting

To Like Coaching.

I've Been Watching You.

Stop Being So

Selfish, Schlots.

Think Of Somebody

Besides Yourself

For Once.

Why Don't You Start

Thinking About Someone

Besides Yourself?

What About Your Family?

What About Them?

My Family Needs

For Me To Get

This Contract.

They Need Me

To Pay The Bills.

Maybe They Just Need You.

Like We Do.

I'm A Hired Hand Here.

After The Tournament,

Then What?

I'm Back On The Streets.

Look, I Owe You More

Than I Can Say, Alex.

But This Is My Shot.

And I'm Going

To Take It.

All Lamont Needs

Is A Steady Job.

I'm Sorry. I Can't Recommend

That The Academy Hire

A Full-Time Coach.

Why Not?

Lots Of Reasons.

Money, Priorities...

And You Think

Basketball's

A Waste Of Time.

No. I Think You're

Wasting Opportunities.

You Have The Talent

And The Resources

To Do More, Alex.

To Be Whatever You Want.

Well, Basketball

Is What I Want.

Why Can't You

Accept That?

You Really Want

To Be Like Lamont?

A Grown Man

Who Abandoned His Family

To Chase After

Some Adolescent Fantasy?

You Don't Know

Anything

About Lamont.

You Know Even Less

About Me.

Rabbi Lewis:

The Maccabees Fought Back,

With The Odds Overwhelming.

The Darkness That Fell

Over The Land Was

A Spiritual Darkness.

And Evil Had Penetrated

To The Soul.

The Temple

Had Been Ransacked,

The Everlasting Lamp

Extinguished.

Now, Light From

The Everlasting Lamp

Would Give

The People Comfort,

But There Was Only
