Spreads and Predictions for Week 4..........(Week 3 was 8-4)
Fez vs DhakaBeginning of the season I would of had dhaka by 7 but this has literally shifted a whole different direction. I talked to a dhaka player this week and he doesnt even know if the team will be at full strength. Off the court it seems they are having issues and its trickling into the locker room.
Fez -1.5
Fez covers the spread, 67-60
I just think dhaka gives up way to many 3s and fez has the jump shooters to take the size away from dhaka. Dhaka is going to get the points in paint but a 3 point shot is worth more then 2 point shot at the end of the day.
Suba vs. IslamabadWith 5 quality starters and outscoring their opponents 185 to 145, you would think Islamabad would run away with this. Not so fast my friends. Suba is quality. A diamond in the ruff. They play Lavar ball! They share the basketball and make the extra pass. The basketball gods reward them with the three point shot.
Islamabad -7.5
Islamabad wins but doesnt cover 62-58
I just think the game will be close all game but the experience, the depth, and the all around team defense of islamabad will be the difference. Suba does put up at fight but Abbassi hits a late 3 and islamabad hits their freethrows down the stretch.
Mombassa vs. RiyadhYou know there was rap group I used to listen too called the ruff riders. With Ahmed Doumani playing the role of DMX his ability to stop, pop. shut them down and open up his own shooting clinic last week. Then you have my super team center Ricardo battiston playing the role as Sheek Louch, the muscle of the group. Mombassa owes this guy some rebounds this week, pay da man. Last but not least you have Abdul Kareem Elsammak as Jadakiss. Welcome to D Block my friends, let me introduce you to The LOX.
Riyadh -4
Riyadh covers by a touchdown and a field goal 60-50
The LOX will come to play. Jadakiss will shoot it better. We know that. Theirs more on to their total. Ricardo should win his matchup against weiss. Weiss will need to get Ricardo into early foul trouble to give Mombassa a chance or Raza posts a 40 burger with a strong game from Yousef.
Instanbul vs. SanaNot going to really go into detail or give my insight into this game. You got the sixers playing the spurs basically on a neutral court. I have no idea. Istanbul is throwing up more bricks then greenwich village at the moment.
Sana -13.5
Cairo vs. PalermoIts do or die for Palermo. Their season is on the line and abdul knows it. The allen iverson of the mb has been working hard on his mental game all week. He knows if he goes, his team goes. Its not about how many points he scores, the question is will he make his teammates better.
Pick em, Even Spread
Palermo in a blowout 63-47
On paper, Cairo looks like the better team but if you dig deeper into it, palermo has ran into some tough luck and tough teams. I also have a prop bet that Abdul outscores their whole team. In a blowout shocker, palermo gets their first win.
Granada vs. Demascus Was sleeping on Granada until I got a call tuesday night at 3 in the morning. An unidentified granada player said his team was extremely focused. None of their players have ate at a waffle house in two weeks. No soda or carbs. They are really taking care of their bodies. They think Dhaka has stolen some of their fire the past couple years. A chip on their shoulder? No make that a flour tortilla on their shoulder.
Demascus -4
Granada keeps it close first half but the offensive rebounds are the difference. You cant teach heart, granada has a ton of it but you also cant teach size and Demascus has more.
Demascus covers 58-51
Amman vs. KabulAfter being the favorites last week Amman lost a game they should win again cairo. A source at local bar said some of their players were out drinking before the night of the game. They took cairo lightly and were definitely looking forward to their matchup against kabul who just wins. Tremendous matchup
Amman -2
The team I think is going to show up, actually does. They take this week a little more seriously and win the game by 10
55-45 Amman
Cordoba vs. MeccaMecca is a lot better then their record show. Could very easily be 3-0 with the team they put on the court. Their records indicate the game will be much closer but mecca wins by 15.
Mecca -6
Mecca wins it 65-50
sorry to the rest of the games, just didnt have time to predict and research them all. Good luck to all the teams and players this weekend. This is Lavar Ball, signing off "Just Stay in Yo Lane Friends".
