All I can say is that they’ve been consistently inconsistent. They have a solid group who has played together for a while now, just need to perform at the high level they can perform at, game in and game out. They have both the size and guard play to go toe to toe with any team in the league, but at times they just don’t.

Very solid bounce back win. Found a way to overcome Nick’s absence to defeat a very good Cordoba team. 

Gave Kazan everything they could handle, but bottom line, they couldn’t get the stop when they needed to. Terrific fight, but the difference between winning and losing sometimes is one shot. They didn’t play their best game, but neither did Kazan. Would love to see this rematch come playoff time.

Gave up too much to a team that averages under 40. They really need to focus on their defense and find ways to win because of it. Cannot rely on just outscoring everyone.

Their lack of defense is more consistent than their potent offense. Not a good recipe.

They lost to a top team for the second straight week now, but wow did they look bad. Nothing from anyone besides Jon, who himself had a subpar performance (albeit a double double is nothing to scoff at). They have a back to back winnable games, look for them to get back on track.

Struggled all game against Jakarta, found some life midway through the second half to cut it to 7, but a 10-0 Jakarta run ended all hopes of a comeback. Not Mingo’s best game and the guys around him didn’t pick up enough slack. I don’t expect them to struggle like this too often, but they’ll need to get over this loss quickly as they play a hungry Islamabad team.

Mingo, Nick, and Hart continue to bring it, outscoring Lagos with just those three guys. One of the best shooting efficiency team and the most efficient from deep, they put an unbelievable amount of pressure on a defense because they hit from everywhere. They have Jakarta this week in what should be a pretty awesome matchup.

A squad that never gets the credit they deserve and a star that doesn’t get the shine he deserves. Mingo gets it done on both sides of the floor, inside and outside, and finds a way to get his team wins. Impressive win to start the season off, knocking off the defending champs.
