Jerusalem vs Baghdad: Jerusalem endured a tough beat last week against Mecca, Chris Diaz didn't drop one tres out of 6 attempts. He better be doing some shooting drills before they face off against the peppy Baghdad led by Jason Smith. Mahdi will do work as will Alex...Jason will just make it look easy. If Jobe and Chris can hit a nice synergistic stride, this will turn out to be an interesting game.

Fez vs Cordoba: If both are yielding are full squad this will be an interesting matchup, records would suggest Fez is the favorite. If Cordoba's 3 ball is on as well as their rebounding its a wrap. Fez need to take smarter shots and make better decisions.

Islamabad vs Cairo: Cairo's Dynamic Duo Champ and Isaiah have proved to be tough to deal with. It seems every time these two show up Cairo pulls out a W. Islamabad has a decent roster, but they need their full squad to start coming if they want to better their record.

Istanbul vs Bukhara: Istanbul has to improve their shooting percentage if they want to face off and beat top tier teams such as Bukhara. Bukhara is a resilient team with their Captain leading them to Win after Win even after double digit deficits. Khalied is a double double beast and Raied is one of the most athletic guards in the league and could jump out the gym. Ali is starting to play more like a PG. This will be a very good game to watch and will be a buffer as to where each team is headed.

Mecca vs Kabul: Clash of the titans. It seems every time captain Afay faces off against this team, he comes up empty handed with battle wounds. With a more improved roster this may be a game to remember. The afghans laid a demoralizing defeat on Afays Raptors back in winterball without Farhad. Can they do it again ?

Medina vs Damascus: This game will be a grinder for Medina. Ardell and Co. must do work for a W to be in sight. Damascus have been enjoying a smooth cruise to an efficient streak. Damascus will not only have to contain Ardell but they have to shoot lights out like Ahmad/Yamin have been doing, capitalize on transition buckets, and clean up boards abundantly like Raj has been doing to get this W.

Let your game do the talking.


In the words of Rudy Fernandez, "I want to put points on your face." so . . Taste my rainbow :)

The forecast calls for rain.

Jerusalem - the win vs kabul probably proved more the lack of kabul's defense than the offensive threat of jerusalem .. they suffered a bad loss to mecca last week and look to recover vs baghdad
vs
Baghdad - also suffered a bad loss to istanbul .. if jay shows up, i give baghdad the slight edge in this one

Fez - you can never get a feel for this team .. they always hit strides then have a bad game .. look for them to bounce back
vs
Cordoba - they have many close games .. but can rarely seal the deal .. they need to come out with their full squad and play hard til the end

Islamabad - always short man'ed .. they have talent .. but they need depth to survive
vs
Cairo - a team thats just warming up .. they have their offensive two .. then they got a whole lot of defense and hustle players

Istanbul - they came out of nowhere and now they're fighting for the top .. they have the right components and the chemistry is starting to build
vs
Bukhara - two loses by only 5 pts each game .. theyve been practicing too, making it to the playoffs of NMBT this past weekend .. high energy

Mecca - always on top of the standings each season .. but they always find themselves in a tough match up vs the afghanis .. alpha is a beast and moose/afay will do what they have to do .. commish omar is off duty this week
vs
Kabul - no farhad, no problem? the guard trio of muj/ed/tariq will have to carry the scoring load .. the bigs will need to step up this game

Medina - its been a tough season for this team .. maybe even a failure .. their remaining schedule is tough .. theyll have to pull out a couple wins or else you wont see usual 'green' team in the playoffs
vs
Damascus - yamin has put together a great team .. but has also put himself on the map .. with one of the best shooting %s in MB, you cant leave him open .. you cant leave ahmad hassan open .. you cant leave olan open .. and you cant outrebound raj
