Thank you Granada, now we have another scorer to worry about on Cordoba. As if planning for Diaz, Pat and Craig wasn’t hard enough. Gary S looked like Scary Terry Rozier out there. 39 points on 58 % shooting and why not add 4 rebounds 2 assists, and 6 steals. Again thank you Granada.

Again, they are the most balanced team in the league and my pick to win the chip. Mustafa led the way with 20 and OG Omar Abbassi turned back the clock with 12 and 11. They rank 1^st in points allowed, rebounds per game and assists per game. I do not see them losing a game for a remainder of the season.

Core guys in attendance, yet they only won by 10? Yes, a win is a win, but y’all the reigning champs, don’t let the teams that don’t belong hang with you guys.

“Down goes Frazier!”, I mean Tex, same thing right? Texstradameus was ice cold in the prediction category last week. Overall poor shooting game from 3-point range as a collective group. And yet they still put up 69 and lost by 6. I ain’t stressing, they ain’t stressing but Granada should be, since they are up next.

Zain with 22 and 10, Ameer added 17 of his own and they locked up Sana’a playmakers. We usually do not associate defense with Dhaka, but this year’s group is different. Mairaj gets a crack at his old squad this week.

It’s difficult to go undefeated in the regular season. It’s also extremely difficult to beat Dhaka. Quite game from scoring leaders Joseph and Clayton. Dhaka may have given the league the formula to beating these guys.

Perhaps the most surprising of the 4-1 teams. Ali, Chirs and Connor have been balling this year and should keep it up against Delhi this week.

Coming off a tough loss in overtime, this team couldn’t afford another meltdown. Malik led all scorers with 22 and Sal and Stew had 19 and 18, respectively. The three guards also combined for 11-23 from the 3-point line. Let’s see how they prevail against an angry Beirut squad.

Fresh off back-to-back wins, the momentum came to a halt. Towfeek and Shafic gotta turn it up these next two weeks if they want to have any chance of replicating their playoff success from last season.

No Luis again, but no one is going to feel bad for you about not having your full squad, just ask Baghdad. Crazy to think the same squad was the #1 seed just last season.

If this team was a meme, they would be the “How you doing?” vs “How you been?”. I don’t care if beating Kazan may or may not have been a fluke, they will end the season 4-3 and perhaps sneak by in the first round. Big time win. Big Moose with 34 and 13, was a one man show and carried his guys.

I believe when they have their complete roster in attendance, they are better than their 1-4 record. Problem is Singer, Najib and Moiz have yet to play a game together and their next two games are against elite teams. They may be on the outside looking in if they don’t have their big 3.

So much talent yet so disappointing. Moayad, Mana and Hassan should be running laps around most teams. Instead, they settle for 3’s and contested jumpers. I would love to be ahead of the curve and predict them beating Bukhara but let’s not get ahead of ourselves now.

Fight for 16^th seed just got a little interesting. Omar Hussein and new comer Mohamad Midani combined for 50 of the teams 79.

SHAH KHAN IS A BADDDD MUMBA JAMBA! I don’t care if they lost, my boy was out there cooking.

Kevin Garnett – “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!”

They did the unimaginable …… they lost to Suba. I 100% give up all hope on this team. Need to blow up the roster and start from scratch. Maybe Adam Froogh can lace em up next season.

Not officially eliminated from the playoffs but looking at their remaining schedule, mmmmmmmmmm yeah they beat. I think Muhannad would be a great addition to a contender next season.
