Amman-Istanbul - Istanbul had an impressive showing last week despite the loss to Dhaka. If they can continue to build off of that offensive chemistry, they will be dangerous.
Islamabad-Jakarta - this has game of the week potential. Islamabad's ball movement is elite, their offense is poetry in motion. Jakarta is a very tough team that will attempt to disrupt the Islamabad offense. Mujtaba is one of the hardest players to cover and requires a team defense to really neutralize him. Islamabad is a team that will be up to the task.
Sana'a-Damascus -
Beirut-Palermo - Too many weapons on Beirut, Palermo is improving but will have difficulty pulling this one out.
Mecca-Kabul - Mecca presents multiple problems with their size and shooting. Kabul will have to match Mecca's offense if they want to compete in this game.
Sarajevo-Dhaka - Sarajevo is on the rise, improving every game. Dhaka is the more experienced team and their chemistry has been on display lately.
Mombasa-Fez - Big brother beats little brother. That's all.
Alexandria-Suba - Coming off a tough loss last week at the end of the game, Alexandria will be hungry to bounce back. If Suba can take advantage in the post they may be able to pull out the W; but if it turns into a shooting contest, look out.
Cairo-Cordoba - both teams have issues with players showing up this year. Both can be good with their full teams. This is a toss up honestly as it's more likely both teams will be shorthanded than not.
Tehran-Granada - Game of the week. A physical, hard-nosed Tehran team goes up against a talented, quick Granada squad. Get your popcorn ready.
Delhi-Riyadh - In a matchup mainly of big men, I give the slight edge overall to Riyadh due to their guard play.

Amman - Istanbul = gonna go with amman due to istanbul's off season. if omar mana is back, amman will win easily.
Islamabad - Jakarta = omar is still upset with muj #neverforget
Sana'a - Damascus = sana'a needs to just body damascus. get your weight up!
Beirut - Palermo = lock down abdul. lock down abdul. lock down abdul.
Mecca - Kabul = was thinking kabul, then i was like 'damn, did you see jaber's stat line last week'
Sarajevo - Dhaka = sarajevo is a good team. leonard/rameez are getting hot. dhaka will need to be on top of their game.
Mombasa - Fez = you already know. beating weiss since day 1
Alexandria - Suba = alexandria not gonna take three losses in a row
Cairo - Cordoba = both these teams have been letting me down this season. full squad, i go with cairo this week.
Tehran - Granada = tehran is the team to beat. granada needs to step up and give these guys a loss.
Delhi - Riyadh = interesting matchup. should be a close game. i'd like to see aymen vs riyadh's bigs.

I blame myself for the Spring 15 chip, I didn't play well in that one - its a deceiving double-double. Bad shooting night and 1st half D on my part wasn't very good. Muj played well that night, but also the refs didn't let us touch him. |

FYI - unfortunately we were told Damascus needs to forfeit next week, so that will leave Sana'a with the win.

Amman vs. Istanbul - Amman's backcourt is averaging close to 40 ppg! 37.6 TO BE EXACT..... I give Istanbul a chance only if Adam comes out aggressive and Mahmoud stays in Moayad's face all game.
Islamabad vs. Jakarta - now this has game of the week written all over it. Jawad and Mujtaba vs the Abbassi backcourt and can't forget about MVP frontunner BIG O, Omar Abbassi! My X-factor for this game is Fursan Abbassi. If he gets hot, Jakarta will have their hands full. This game will come down to the wire.
Sana'a vs. Damascus - forfeit
Beirut vs. Palermo - Attention MB, Jon Mingo is good. Since when have 14.5 ppg and 10 rebounds not have been respectable numbers? Throw in Nick Marquez (who btw kills us everytime we play Beirut) and John H's shooting and this game could end up being a blow out.
Tehran vs. Granada - Sorry Omar Qasem but Tehran is going to be too physical for you boys. The Italian boys will get theirs.
Sarajevo vs. Dhaka - Now I know Sarajevo has been red hot and Leonard Lee has done his best Linsanity impersonation on the league, but I expect Dhaka to lock up on defense, and cool them off. Dhaka's guard play will be too much for Sarajevo and FYI MB, Fahad Siddiqui is the best shooter in the league.
Mombassa vs. Fez - Sorry Ed, Raza and Yousef will be too much for your crew. Fez won't go down without a fight though.
Alexandria vs. Suba - Masri bro's will get their team back into the win column.
Cairo vs. Cordoba - Kareem and Zain will get theirs, but an unsung hero will help Cairo get this win.
Mecca vs. Kabul - won't predict my own game.
Delhi vs. Riyadh - too much size and talent between Aymen and Deep for Riyadh.
