Muslim Basketball

What a trade made by captain LeGM. A bit of a risky move letting go of two really solid players (who were playing great on the team) to go out and get more starpower in Mr Cologne himself, Shahzaib. I didn’t get to watch much of this game but from what I saw it was close in the first half, and they ran away with it in the 2nd half playing with pace and as a team. Special shoutouts to Ham, Yazan, and Malik all contributing, they’re gonna need consistency from their non star options in order to continue winning, which is what they’ve done so far.

Can’t move them down much at all as they’ve won yet another game, Mahdy is looking like the MVP of the league right now playing out of his mind, 3 straight games of 30+ points and doing it efficiently might I add. Coach Jay has the team bought in on what the game plan is every week, and it’s clearly working as they’re getting contributions from pretty much everyone, no matter how big or small. I would like to see this team lock in a bit more on the defensive end as this is where I feel they can improve, and really become unstoppable.

Another good game from a team playing really fluid team ball, however, another game they win beating a team that’s without their star player. They’re 4-0 for a reason, everyone is contributing whether it’s on the boards, offensively or defensively. This team is going to win games due to size and defense. They’re number one defensively due to the likes of Big O anchoring the paint, and pesky guards on the perimeter. Big shoutout to Nick finally having an efficient game!!

Hard for me to drop them much at all because arguably their best player wasn’t at the game, however, for this game to have been more competitive, they needed more from co-star Aadil, inefficient basketball when the teams looking to lean on you just won’t cut it in a game like this, especially against a solid squad, however, Moe Rayyan has been looking like a great 3rd option for them, looking to see them rebound with a full squad next week.

Another solid team win with baba shaf back in the PG spot. Good win against a team who made a questionable trade prior to this week, did what they were supposed to do this week in my opinion. It was a closer game than I thought it would be; however, I definitely feel Shaf could’ve been more aggressive this game. However, I understand he wants to get everybody going on a weekly basis. Sal has been playing amazing and is looking like the second option on this team as well, 6 3s!! Good win this week and an interesting matchup next week against Rafah.

Big win against an opponent who was 3-0, and probably favored to win this game. The squad came out and did their thing against a team who has looked really strong thus far, Muhammad Assaf provided a much needed spark this week due to the goat Khaled being out. Musa did his thing on both ends of the floor again, however, I’d love to see him be more aggressive. Everyone on the team did enough to get the W and they’re looking better as we continue to move along.

Granted, they were without the Moroccan prince this week in Elias, who was really a necessity in a game like this to control the pace and flow on both perimeters. I think this game really falls into the hands of the consistency of the co-stars on the team. Mana did his thing as we’ve come to expect, but for the squad to reclimb the ranks Amir and Ehsan must be more consistent, Amir especially, they lost this game by four points, and I would’ve loved to have seen the co stars be more aggressive.

Thank you for coming Jojo! Nah on a serious note, team finally won a game with their star Hassan on the court, and you can see the difference Hashem has made on the court, taking pressure off of Hassan on both ends has done wonders for his efficiency and given him spot rests. Hassan and Jojo combined for 49 points, and I’m looking to see the other players on the team help pickup the slack. They were down Habi this week which is an essential piece, but looking to see them with a full squad finally next week. Interesting matchup coming up with Nazareth next game.

Great game from a team that needed a W, and had to do it against towfeek a second week in a row. Great team game all around with three players in double digits. Gub is a big time player for this team as he has an efficient 16 and 10. Deep also has been in his scoring bag this season, really hooping consistently. Sleeper team that I think is only going to continue to get better and better as the season goes on.

Great squad, really a good team that’s been dealt some bad luck, 3 combined losses by a total of four points. I’d love to see them close out a game strong, and really get a convincing win. Joey did his thing early on and showed why he was the fifth overall pick, Anas was also on fire early in the first half hitting 4 3s in a row. Nabil also went crazy and had probably his best game so far in MB. This  team has the pieces in place, however, I feel they have stretches where they don’t really play as a team, and resort to iso basketball. If they clean that up, and keep moving the ball around find

This has been an interesting squad from pre season until now, and they’ve made a blockbuster trade to go along with their interesting roster choices. I can see the vision with the trade to add more pieces to their team, however, this team lacks an identity in my opinion. Idk if they want to use all the size they’ve got to their advantage, or to play a fast pace style. For this team to be more efficient, they’re gonna have to understand the style they want to implement, and to stick with it on a game to game basis. Good game against a solid team. Looking to see them pick it up moving forward

This team is fading and its fading fast. Granted, they haven’t had the benefit of a decent schedule to build chemistry with one another, but every week it’s been something, whether it’s turnovers or missing shots. Mahrooz is the only consistent on this team as of right now and that must change if they want to flip the script on their season. Co stars in omar Hussein and mo masri must be better in their roles if they want to find success, combining for 2-21 is unacceptable. There’s too much talent on this team in my opinion to have this bad of a record through 4 games. Looking to see them rebo

This team can’t seem to figure it out once again, they need Zain to start showing up and playing his game if they want to win. Really thought he’d take advantage of a team with no true big man, and he couldn’t do it this week. Team really has a true lack of chemistry and I think it’s beginning to get to them now. I feel a win would really boost the morale of the team and players, and they need a win fast.

This team has been a case of bad luck and players just not showing up to games. Towfeek couldn’t even save them this week. I think they’ve had 3 games already with a sub due to missing their actual players. This teams winning formula is very simple, decide to actually show up. The way their attendance is now will never gonna be a recipe for success in a league like this. They need to start showing up if they wanna grab a win soon.
