    It doesn’t look like they’re smothering him. Then again, it doesn’t look like he’s inside. Abort!

    P4: Prince Valiant finds Gawain. P5: ??? Happy New Year All — Thanks for everyone’s daily uplifts in these trying times. “Wait Till Next Year”.

    P3: Giannis just decides to let the play come to him rather than move to the top of the key.

    That Gil, he’s such a Red Auerbach. He waits until there are seconds left in the game to put Fantasy League Boy into the game to shoot the game winning shot. It’s not for nothing that they refer to him as (former) State Champion Coach.

    Good coaching Gil. I must have missed the strip where Pranit is the next Steph Curry.

    Wait, I thought Pranit sucked, and he’s inserted in the game at the last second and tasked with hitting a 3-pointer to win it? And Gil’s just sticking it to me! He heard about my bet to have Dallas hit the winning shot, so he took him out of the game. I think if his replacement hits it, I still win.

    And speaking of winning, you’re always winning when you read Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

    Double-teamed? More like a prevent defense in football. They’re giving him all kinds of space.

    P-1: We meet Gabe “Golden Hair”, but have no idea what position he plays. Gil’s instructions sound like he should be a Small Forward, bu the art says he’s a Guard. Whatever he is, he’s the Center of attention, today.

    P-2: When they overdo the fist bump, both players injure their shooting hands.

    P-3: When All Saints refuses to apply pressure, Gabe gets confused and time runs out.

    Check out P-2 again, it looks like Pranit has been hitting theWhey Powder. He’s gained 25 lbs.

    Nepotism is alive and well at MHS. Gil inserts his unknown love child created with the lovely Holly Dobbs to win the game and keep the truth a well kept secret.

    P1 – How does Milford manage to keep getting players who shave their head? Is that actually normal in high school now?

    P2 – “Sounds like a plan!” Yeah, that’s normal huddle talk.

    P3 – Trevor Lawrence is apparently the main ball handler on this team. But he must not be able to shoot, considering the All Saints defenders’ version of double teaming him is to stand 4’ away looking bored.
