LAST WK: 3

LT can ball fam. An undefeated regular season isn’t out of reach based on their schedule rest of the way. I am sure Delhi coming off a disappointing loss will come out firing.

Tripoli

LAST WK: 4

Back in the win column, without their big man in the middle. Sal has been killing it from beyond the arc and Muj was about to his old tricks. Ali Hassan joined the act with 20 points knocking down 4 3’s of his own. Big Game against Medina this week.

Mombasa

LAST WK: 1

They played with 4, put up 84 and lost by 1. I am by no means concerned or worried about this team. Maybe their attendance should be a concern.

LAST WK: 13

Did not think this game close should have been this close but Kazan got the win, so that is all that matters. 4 guys in double figures, way to spread the wealth boys.

Neutralize Kenny, check. Force turnovers, check. Knock down free throws, check. They did everything you could have possibly wanted to win the game. Anas Najib led the way with an efficient 24 and Idris added 19 of his own. Very tough back half of their schedule coming up.

Medina

Locked up against a fast-paced Lahore team and neutralized Moayad. Glad to see Billal Abbassi come back after reports indicated he was dealing with back spasms. The Anas and AFay pairing have yet to mesh but I think when push comes to shove, there is too much scoring in the backcourt for it not to work. Oh, and Brandon Landfair is a BAAAAAADDDDDD MAN!

Fought hard without Mustafa but they came up short. Little O needs to come back and help out his fam.

They put an end to the Delhi hype and said don’t forget about us.

Okay I sincerely apologize for thinking all they can do is play defense. They have walking buckets! Tom with 29, Craig with 25 and Chris had 19 of his own. Did we forget they have Farhad B, and the B is for Bucket. Forgive me fellas.

Damascus

LAST WK: 10

Damn D-Mack, Triple Dub? After an ugly performance Week 1, Damascus has cruised past their competition over the past two weeks. Their past two opponents haven’t exactly been contenders, but the point differential has them second in the overall standings. They have their first real test this week against Kazan.

Amnesia fellas, Beirut is up next. Perhaps upset alert?!?!?

Baghdad

They defeated a very good 4 person Mombasa squad. Not sure how you give up 84 points to 4 people and only win by 1. S/o to Moe Rayyan with the 34 piece chicken mcnuggets. But really y’all 84 points?!

Palermo

Tough game and schedule ain’t helping. Granada is up this week. Towfeek Hamza is leading candidate for Most Improved Player.

14
Lahore

LAST WK: 11

3 guarantees in life, death, taxes, and Mana grabbing at least 10 rebounds. Kareem Ahmad led the way with 24 points on 50% shooting but did not much help from the rest his cast. The Abbassi family is up next.

Going up against a Jakarta team allowing 77 ppg. I think Clayton has a field day and goes for 30+.

Wow, they only lost by 6 to a strong Granada team. Going to reiterate what I said before, they need Ed!

They play Amman this week, someone’s gotta come out with the Win, right?

 Back half of their schedule seems “easier”. Not sure they can get the job done doe.
