Beit Jala is sitting comfortably atop the league standings with an impressive 3-0 start. With  contributions coming from every corner of the roster, this team looks like the real deal. With their momentum building and chemistry clicking, Beit Jala looks like the early-season favorites.

Hassan Chaabane already has more wins this season than the previous draft campaign. It’s crazy what playing with your brothers can do for a man’s confidence. I expect this team to stay atop the standings the remainder of the season.

The oldest team in the league but they are HOOPIN’! Nice to see Farhad and Michael playing well together. S/o to Coach Sufian for putting together a formidable squad.

Kirby is a hooper!!! 32 points while being face guarded by the entire Abbassi family is certainly not easy. It would have been nice if they could find some contributions from their other players.

Cmon fam, Ammar and Kareem know what they are doing! S/o to Ameer Koyas for returning back to form.

Lost a nail biter, but this team still has Najib and Abdelhadi. Top 5 team rest of season.

I love my team, we are so good. We are going to win the chip and I am going to be league MVP.

Jenin takes their first stumble of the season, falling to an undefeated Beit Jala squad. This team still has size, strength, and a reliable Big 3 in Zain, Sohaib, and Adam. Adam Fares continues to deliver, dropping 23 points on efficient shooting (7-16 FG, 7-9 FT). The concerns from their shaky first-half performance against Jerusalem last week seem validated, as slow starts are becoming a worrying trend. Jenin has the tools to compete with any team, but consistency will be key as they face tougher opponents.

Dropped two in a row and one was a double overtime thriller. Still, I don’t expect this team to keep their losing ways going. Amir Chaarkas, we need you.

Another close loss puts this team at 0-3. Bounceback game by Big Moose dropping 25 on 50%, but I'm going to need to see more from the supporting cast moving forward. With their next opponent being argubaly one of the best teams in the league, this is the perfect time for Yaffa to turn the season around. Might be time to hit the panic button if they start 0-4.

It took a forfeit for them to get their first win. I hope Coach Feek was watching film over the break, because this team is underachieving. Anas, Feek and Shafic are a dynamic trio but someone has to learn to defer.

TALK ABOUT A STATEMENT WIN! Lil O with yet another impressive performance going for 24 5 and 10  while the supporting crew finally showing up to support. Ali Sufian having his best game of the season and this team is going to need more of that if they expect to be competitive moving forward.

That’s one way to get your team’s first win.

This team certainly has the build to compete in games, but I am not sure if they have a closer at this point in time. Coming off a 3 point win, they are heading into week 4 confident.

It’s been a tough start for Yazur, as they remain winless after three weeks. Their offense struggles to find consistency, averaging just 51 points per game, while their defense has been leaky, allowing 62.7 points per contest. The team shows flashes of promise, but it hasn’t been enough to close out games. Facing yet another strong opponent next week, lets just have some fun out there guys.

Forfeit, thank you for saving me the time.
