*William slams door*
William: So…
Harry: So what?
Josh: *Giggles*
William: What are you laughing at, that performance was atrocious!
Harry: Atrocious?! Nah, not me, it’s all on the team
Josh: I’m out here getting smacked around, and you call my performance atrocious?
William: If you lot actually listened to me in training, you might actually be able to convert your layups and get something out of
that game
Harry: Coach… Jerry’s humongous, I can’t get around his screens and complete the pick and roll
Josh: Yeah coach, Jerry’s really fat, I don’t quite understand why he’s getting game time
William: His height is essential for this team to win, we just need to boost his self esteem
Harry: His height is useless since he weighs so much, his rebound percentage is awful
William: Never mind Jerry, this is about you fools
Harry: Coach, I’ve got to be somewhere
