    Wait, so are 40 in P1 and 45 in P2 both Irby?

    P1: Bun man looks gassed, but who is the Lurch on the Springfield bench?

    P3: Schuring only has to beat a young Ernie DeGregorio on the drive to the rack

    Schuring drives and there’s a whistle! Offensive foul on Schuring, Milford loses by 3 and thus starts another second-place finish for the Mudlarks.

    Prediction…Monday’s strip P1 will be a repeat of today’s P3 and Monday’s P3 will be the ball in flight or at the rim. This last seconds of this game will take us to Epiphany.

    Why does Irby have uniform number 40 in P1 and number 45 in P2?

    Schuring plays like a winner after Gils passive-aggressive pep talk yesterday. “…I’m gonna motivate you Chris, by talkin to the rest of the team rather than you…”

    P3 – Kaz has surreptitiously slipped into a uniform and is about hit the game winner to save his and Gil’s jobs.

    In all reality , Chris loses his false courage provided by Coach Thorp and puts up an old fashioned 2 handed set shot his Grandpa taught him . Alexa ,Check the Valley record books to see when the last time a 2 hand set was taken and made ! MEANWHILE , the shots up,sorry inquiring minds will have to wait until Monday to see if it goes in.

    A drive, a defender… and a 48-hour time-out.

    ….a drive, a defender, a dribble off the foot. Think Ollie in Hoosiers.

    I would have expected to find Arturs Irbe’s son playing hockey, not basketball.

    Chris ends up traveling in panel 4 since his black socks cut off his circulation and his calf balloons up.

    The last seconds of this game last even longer than a real NBA game.

    …he dribbles back, pounds his chest and launches a three from 30 feet while screaming his name!

    P1 – Fleming has the mohawk? I thought Hiawatha did. Somebody needs to make us a program for these games.

    P2 – At least it’s an even battle. Both Irby #2 and his defender have horrible cases of arthritis.

    P3 – A drive, a defender…

    - a turnover?

    - a charge?

    - a layup?

    - a foul?

    - a game-winning jumper?

    - a game winning brick?

    Tune in Monday for the surprising conclusion in Milford Theater. And speaking of surprising, it shouldn’t be surprising that today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp is online.
