You're 28 seconds away from going to the
city playoffs, and my baby is the

reason why.

He's been collecting triple -doubles
like our king collects 40 tiles.

And Daddy's dealership has been racking
up double -digit sales ever since they

became the proud sponsors of our
Crenshaw Cougars.

Now he's the team's biggest and most
embarrassing cheerleader.

He loves anything in blue and gold
except my QQ.

Let's go, boys. Let's break some drills.
Let's go.

than one riding punk.

There are singers riding punk.

Cowboys got to spin up.

Go, Pookie Ookie. That's right, baby.
Keep me real.

Oh, come on, QQ. Do us a dunk, dunk.

You heard my baby. Keep it real.

Oh, way to run the floor, Lawrence.

Girl, Nestle ain't got nothing on that
chocolate tartare.

Listen, why are you always in the
brothers who need repair?

I'm going to tell you like I tell the
boys.

Suit up or shut up. I'll suit up.

When Nike comes out with an Adnesi, then
you can suit up.

Meanwhile, keep stats.

Ooh, step on my night o 'clock.

Hi, Vice Principal Mitchell.

Hey, Coach Vines. You can still call me
Dee. Hi, Vice Principal Dee.

Still trying to make it to showtime at
the Apollo.

Look, Coach, I need to talk to you about
three of your players.

Oh, it just wasn't.

Hey, guys, give me some laughs. Hey, and
not around the girls.

Coach, I'm going to get right to the
point.

Quentin Brooks, Robert Weaver, and Lamar
Tyson have all let their grade point

average drop below a 2 .0.

So I'm going to have to put them on
academic probation.

Hey, I've been working with these guys.

Quentin's average is up to a 1 .9.

is still below a 2 .0.

What's a D -plus between friends?

I wouldn't know.

But between coaches and vice principals,
I'd say you're about three players

short. Dee, we just made the playoffs.

You're talking about three of my
starters.

I'm sorry, coach.

District policy.

Not your GPAs.

According to Vice Principal Mitchell,
you three are off the team. On the real

culture side, you three are off the
team.

Look, I'm going to see what I can do.

But as of right now, that's the way it
has to be. Hit the showers.

What was that all about?

His stepmom just cost us the
championships.

What?

Free air freshener, free fluid
inspection, free oil change.

Wow, that's a good deal.

Good call, son.

All right, let's make that last one $4
.99 off the oil change.

Hey, honey.

Oh, hey, Dee.

Baby,

guess what?

What? Hey, Dee, how are you? Honey,
would you like to rest your tired,

feet?

I'm sorry, baby. Hi, how are you? Have a
seat.

Keep your shoes on.

All right, guess what? What?

I sold another car today.

Isn't that what car salesmen do?

Yeah, and daddies send their sons to
their rooms.

Wait just a sec.

You can cut me out about 200 more
basketballs.

Okay. But if one of them say free
Saturn, don't blame me.

Frank, I'm really happy for you.
Congratulations, baby.

But I got the sale because of this.

Boom!

Front page L .A. sentiment.

Baby, you can't buy that kind of
advertisement.

Take a look. They interviewed me.

Honey, this is great.

Did you mention the tutorial program
that you all started?

No, I didn't.

See, Dee, you got to sell the sizzle,
not the steak.

See, if I started this interview out
talking about education, they would have

buried us on page 57.

Frank the Sentinel doesn't have 57
pages.

Anyway, now that the team is in the
playoffs, we're going to have customers

running down to the dealership. I
wouldn't count on that if I were you.

I mean, half the people in that picture
aren't even on the team anymore.

Wait a minute, what are you talking
about?

Daddy, Dee didn't tell you?

Three of our star players let their gray
slip and Dee kicked them off the team.

You kicked three starters off the team?
Frank, honey, let me make it plain for

you. You flunk, no slam dunk.

Baby, I mean, wasn't there something
else you could do?

Oh, glad to see that we're on the same
page, Daddy. Now keep turning around.

Now, Dee, for the sake of argument,
let's look at the player situation.

If they had one more grading period, a
mere six weeks, I'm sure they could get

their grades up.

Then they can play in six weeks. But we
need them now.

I mean, Q's our top scorer.

Quentin, leave it to that boy to ruin a
good thing.

Anyway, I was thinking, instead of
kicking them off the team, maybe you can

them, like, write an essay or something.
I mean, this is about education, isn't

it? Yeah.

Moesha.

Did you ever find what you were looking
for underneath the bleachers today?

I'll shut up now.

You know, I'm just glad to see that
we're on the same page.

Dee, I just wish you had talked to me
first.

I'll talk with you now, Frank, in the
living room.

Excuse us, please.

Frank.

I cannot believe you're second -guessing
me like that. I'm not trying to, baby.

I'm just saying that if you... You know,
it is bad enough that I have got to

hear this from the students, their
parents, and some of the teachers, too.

expect a little bit of support at home.

Well, so do I, Dee.

Baby brother Saturn has invested a lot
of money at Crenshaw, which means Dee

Mitchell has invested a lot of money at
Crenshaw. No, Dee... Mitchell has

invested a lot making sure that
education comes first at Crenshaw.

Oh, well, maybe Deirdre Mitchell should
understand that her husband is trying to

build a business.

And maybe Frankenstein Mitchell ought to
understand that his wife does not try

and tell him how to sell cars, so maybe
he should not try and tell her how to

educate children.

Ha!

Hakeem Campbell think that Frank
Mitchell gonna be sleeping on the sofa

No.

Look, I got a way to get you guys back
on the team. I knew my shorty would come

through with a plan. What you got? Okay,
all you guys gotta do is enroll in my

dad's tutorial program and bring your
grades up.

So what we talking about?

Yeah. B -ball footprint show on the map.

Without us, school ain't nothing.
Nothing but an educational institution

high academic standards. We can't just
ignore grades. Yeah, but I bet the

that's going to kick our butts tomorrow
does.

True that. Man, we wouldn't even be here
without Tyson Brooks and Weaver. I

think we all just walk off.

That's right. Yes, it will.

Shoot, we are Crenshaw.

How are they going to tell us we can't
play?

We need to do this NBA style, put
pressure on.

Nobody plays unless we all play.

See,

I was just saying. I got a 3 .2.

See,

that was just the figure of speech.

You would know that if you brought your
butt to English.

Now, what I know is there's no way
they're going to jeopardize the

championships. The school's got too much
riding on it.

Let me get this straight.

We just call in their bluff, right?
Exactly.

Look, I'm talking demonstrations, picket
signs.

Boycotts. Boy, you wouldn't make it past
lunch.

All right, all right, I feel you.

I'm down with the Crenshaw 30.

And then we're going to try the tutorial
program because at the end of the day,

we still want an education, right?

Hey, well, why don't y 'all sleep on it
and get back to me?

Demonstrating if you just studied.

Or if Mrs. Mitchell just stayed a
teacher.

She's been tripping ever since she got
that VP gig.

Be honest, boo.

You were a felon before she got that
gig.

Yeah, you were a felon.

Did you see this?

While you were out picking him, the
coach was holding tryouts. For the

basketball team?

No, for water polo.

He said, if y 'all don't get to
practice, you're off the team.

Q, I thought you said coach was about to
crack.

Come on, man, he is.

You think he don't embarrass himself
with a bunch of scrubs?

Yeah, you right.

I'm just tripping.

Hey, I made it. I made it. I made it, y
'all. I made the basketball team.

You want to see?

Can't, boy.

Yeah, well, neither can you.

With that 1 .95, I'll be starting in
one.

I can't believe Coach put Cowboy in my
position.

This is like something out of Tales from
the Hood.

Well, here comes the creep keeper.

They put a girl on our team?

Man, Coach went circus on us.

Hey, everybody.

Say hello to Crenshaw's newest shooting
guard.

Man, this is whack.

Oh, it's whack, huh?

Well, look.

How whack is this?

That's right. That's right. Sizz, baby.
Sizz.

Well, that's all right. You know, that's
what practice is for. You know what I'm

saying?

Now, get this madness.

Baby, where you going?

Trying to get my uniform back. Oh, you
mean this one?

Oh, you might have the uniform, but she
will never have me.

Oh, can I get that in writing?

Oh!

Okie -okie, your okie -pokie's coming,
baby!

Congratulations, Niecy. Way to represent
for them women.

Girl, I'm just trying to get next to
Lauren.

Now, come on, Niecy. You promised you
were going to teach me how to play

Okay, I'll even spot you a few letters.

Girl, I'm the best player on the team.

You're shorty. This is mad crazy.

You need to talk to your stepmoms.

I've already tried to talk to her.
There's nothing that she can do.

Well, she needs to take another look,
because a lot of people are going to

a problem with this.

But what you trying to say?

I said what I had to say.

Okay, well, obviously you seem upset
right now. Maybe we should take a walk

you can calm down.

Can't be seen in public, remember?

bag and see how fast you can fill it up.
We're not going to be recycling that,

are we?

Who would do something like this?

I don't know.

Somebody who buys in bulk?

Yeah, well, I bet that Quentin boy had
something to do with it. Oh, Frank, I

don't think so.

He's not that type of boy.

How can you be so sure, Dee?

I guess I can.

I can ask him or I can just go get ready
for school.

Hello.

He comes at the job.

Did you do that?

Not my flavor.

Oh, was TP in my house your flavor?

Why are you bringing me this madness?

Because you continue to go around
blaming D instead of taking

your own actions.

And all of this so -called madness is
hurting my family.

Look, I didn't do nothing, so don't put
that on me. But you can stop it. I don't

have any control over nobody.

Your money, can't you see we here
talking?

You're boring me.

I'm not listening to any of it. I'm here
to see the game.

That's right.

That's right.

Okay,

everybody, gather around.

Now, look.

You may not possess the skills and the
talent of real basketball players.

What?

But you certainly learned the playbook
faster than any team I've ever coached.

Well, let's get out there and do what
you do. All right.

Oh, wait, coach. You haven't told us who
starts yet.

Uh, Niecy and whoever else wants to
break.

this hits the papers, do you realize how
many sympathy sales we're going to get?

Who threw that?

Who threw that?

Who threw it?

It's okay, baby. No, no, no. It is not
okay, baby.

Honey, it's okay.

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Whoever tripping
out there need to kill that.

I mean, chill with that.

Mrs. Mitchell had a job to do.

She did it.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

Daddy,

not that bad.

I guess he's not. In a general, you
still can't date him sort of way.

Well, this was certainly a breakthrough
day.

Q took responsibility for his own
actions, and Daddy almost admitted that

human.

Since we're out of the playoffs, Daddy
decided to switch his support to the

debate team.

The odds are pretty good that they'll
never be put on academic probation.
