Mombasa, Islamabad, Grenada. Those are my three predictions.

9am
Granada @ Dhaka
Early morning game. Ouch. I watched Dhaka play and I told myself 'if these guys play like this all the time, no one is stopping them'. Their ball movement and chemistry was impeccable. Their trap defense worked great. They let off the gas pedal in the second half and let the other team come back, but the game was always in their hand.
Going with Dhaka here.

10am
Alexandria @ Mombasa
Alexandria needs to figure out a game plan for Dan. Dan is probably 3x the size of Alexandria's biggest player. Alexandria can stop Mombasa's scorers. Lock down D by Mahdi can be an issue for Raza. Yo Shah will need to take over in this game. Mo Masri will need to light it up from outside.
Mombasa wins.

11am
Amman @ Tehran
Omar Mana vs Joe Z !! With full squads, this will be the matchup of the day. Luis/Moayad vs Joe/Ali/Cody. Bring your popcorn!
Winner = undecided at the moment.

12pm
Sarajevo @ Islamabad
Another good matchup. Sarajevo with Leonard is a different team. They will need as much offense as they can get from Leonard and Rameez if they want to win. Islamabad has great defense and will definitely limit Leonard/Rameez from doing their normal damage.
Siding with Islamabad.

Granada vs Dhaka:
In a weekend where every game is a great match-up, this has to be the game of the week. Granada has 4 players that could completely take over a game, while Dhaka, yes have the players that could take over games, but takes over games as a team. Their are the occasional games where Farzad just absolutely take over, but Dhaka has great chemistry and it's what has been leading this team for the past few seasons. For Granada, the Omar brothers, Singer and Qasem, and the Ahmed Brothers, Waqas and Anwar, could each generate some serious damage. I could easily see an upset with this game. I'm going to go with Dhaka just because of the experience.

Alexandria vs Mombasa:
If Alexandria is going to win this game, it's going to take one hell of an effort. Mombasa is like the Spurs, they're great every season and they do it with unselfish play. Alexandria has the ability to go off from 3 point land, but so does Mombasa. Mombasa has Raza who could run the floor, Weiss who could just own the paint, and Yousef who has been a great addition for this team. I like Mombasa in this one.

Amman vs Tehran:
Another great match-up. Moayad has been phenomenal, but Louis will be the difference maker. If he brings his A game, Amman has a real shot at winning this game (of course assuming Mana shows up). Joe Pipitone has the ability to take Moayad out of this game, and Mana and Big Boy Joe (Joe Zekian- I don't know why I'm writing "Big Boy Joe" lol) will cancel each other out. It really comes down to the supporting casts, and Louis can push Amman to victory. This is really close, I don't know where I'm leaning. Let's go with Tehran. Tehran wins.

Sarajevo vs Islamabad:
I'm not going to predict my game, however, I guess I can comment a little. Islamabad has the MVP Omar Abbassi. Basel Bataineh is coming off a great game, and we, Islamabad, play unselfishly. We have great perimeter defenders in Fursan and Islam Abbassi. I haven't really seen much of Sarajevo, but I've been asking around, and everyone is telling me they are a great team. I don't think Muslimbasketball named a ROY, but I heard Leonard Lee is definitely a candidate. The man is averaging 22 a game shooting it at 52.5%, amazing. Other than that, I don't really know their players, but they seem like a pretty tall team, and this is definitely not going to be a walk in the park. It's going to be a grind out game that can go either way. Best of luck Sarajevo and may the best team win. #football>basketball
