He said he'd be home later.

Later when?

I don't know.

He had a meeting.

At 1:
00 in the morning?

I'm not getting anywhere

by punching a clock

just so my wife

doesn't get an attitude.

I came second to the NBA.

I'm not about to come second

to no bullshit scouting job.

I didn't mean it like that.

Zeke, all I'm saying

is that it would be nice...

if you found time

for your family.

You should see the tramps

coming after Quincy.

If you don't talk to him...

I have.

You said you'd think about

going back to get your degree.

You said

I should get my degree.

I like my bullshit job.

And it's gonna lead to

a front-office position.

Until then, don't worry.

We got just enough savings...

to keep your fine ass

in Gucci and gold.

How many nights does

my fine ass get...

Damn you!

What about now?

Do I get a week yet?

- Keep your voice down!

- Keep your ass home!

Coming to my game?

You know that,

but I got finals tomorrow...

so I gotta leave at halftime.

You can't leave at halftime.

It's the championship.

I know, but I got a cutie

coming over to help me study.

What's going on

with you and the spring dance?

You got a date yet?

Yeah. Brothers are

lined up at my locker.

I found you someone.

Found?

I'm not some charity case.

Ma tell you to do that?

- No, she did not.

- Damn, Lena.

Who is he?

This brother from my college.

He's in college?

And he is fine, girl.

How'd you get him to say yes?

I told him you looked like me.

Great.

- Monica, you do.

- Yeah, right.

If you were tore up,

I would not be claiming you.

Trust.

We're gonna do something cute

with your hair...

get you in a nice, sexy dress,

some heels.

I don't know

how to walk in heels.

You just worry about

playing your heart out...

for that recruiter tonight.

You let your big sister

worry about your date.

You ever been in love?

Too many times.

They ever love you back?

Once I cut 'em off.

Why?

I don't have to tell you girls

how big this game is.

We worked too damn hard not to

take the championship with us.

So we're gonna play smart

and with control...

and we're gonna kick some butt.

Captain!

- Whose house?

- C-house!

- C...

- House!

Lady Cougars on three.

One, two, three, Lady Cougars!

Come on, now. Come on!

Crenshaw Cougars!

Crenshaw! Crenshaw!

Green! White!

44 spread, 44.

Down 4, you got this.

What you got, baby?

Don't get tight.

She's laying off.

Pull up.

Down one, down one.

Come on, D-up, Mon.

Watch the ball.

Watch the ball. Now.

Bonus.

Toss up. Take it right.

Watch your left!

All right, watch your left!

Up one.

D-up, Mon.

Come on. Play smart.

Up one. Play smart.

You got this.

Play smart. Play smart.
