The Rap-Up: The dreaded ‘P’ word

There’s a new series on Netflix called Running Point, Mindy Kaling’s latest project that stars Kate Hudson as a newly minted President of the family-owned business — the Los Angeles Waves, a professional basketball team. The comedy follows the ups and downs of running a team with, surprisingly, minimal basketball scenes.

Sorry. This is not meant to be a review of the show. I haven’t even watched it! My wife did and mentioned a scene that applies to the Raptors’ current situation.

“Do not say the ‘P’ word!” Hudson’s character reveals her superstition and refuses to say the word ‘Playoffs’ as her team makes a late playoff push.
