LAST WK: 2

Wow, This game was definitely game of the week. If yall missed out, I feel bad. Fading 3 for the game by Nintendo’s finest was crazy. Kirby ended off with 39 points and ten boards, talk about a game. Hamzah Z also dished in a cool 18 and 10 boards to help secure the win. This team is tough, they have really good underrated shooters such as Sameh, a good big in Hamzah, and a top player in the league. Best team no question about it, shout out also the Yemeni for a nice 12 points.

The Youngins are the best team when it comes to closing out a game, This team is one of the best second-half scoring teams in the league. Shoutout to JOJO, my teammate, I mean that kid came out to hoop. 21, 50% from three. Shoutout to Mahdy for another 20, These two combined for the majority of the points. Shoutout to myself, I mean shoutout to Ahmad Chabanne for playing good D on adeeb, this team is no doubt one of the better teams in the league. Glad to be a part of it (;

Tough loss against Ramla, this team although under-sized, they out rebounded them, the only thing was a slow second half from shazaib. He did come off a flight, so we cut him some slack, however, if he played as he did in the first 10 minutes of this game, this would not have been that close. Regardless, I was hoping to see more from 3s from this team, and good defense from Ramla, however this team is still top 3.

Bad shooting night from Michael, but guess what he still had 23 points and 16 boards. Farhad also had 16 boards and 24 points. BJJ King had to help with 12, and almost triangle-choking the refs lol. Overall as a team not having the best shooting night, they out-rebounded Isdud, had more assists, and even shot 10 more shots than Isdud. If they just had a more efficient 3-ball, this game would've been secured no doubt. Again hard to see how they lost, but no doubt they would give this team a run for their money if they were to play them again.

No Towfeek, No problem. These boys came to play, with 72 points, 47% from the field, and 36% from three, I respect it. Nick was pulling from volleyball lines and was just getting into his spot. Very solid performance except for the missed left Layyyy which we did not see. Anas was the main highlight, 4-7 from three, 22 points, and 9 assists. Solid performance, this team has won their last 4, can they go undefeated throughout playoffs? Shoutout to Mustafa, 7 boards and three assists?! Kal cardio for the first time this season. Respect it.

Very very slow second half, really good first half. Mahrooz was getting to the line, 8-12 from free throws, and bought in 11 boards. They were missing Ameer this game which would've helped a lot, overall not the prettiest win, but a win is a win. They only scored 12 points in the second half, but that just shows they made sure although the offense wasn't falling, our defense will. Good win, very tough game next week, But I got my boy’s areeha taking it.

No Abdelhadi, no win. Elijah had to carry the load, and the load was heavy. The only person on his team who shot the ball well, everyone on his team shot below 30% while he shot 58%... Was hoping to see more from Anas N and Mo Masri, both had a bad shooting night, but regardless this team is still very solid. With a full squad, this team would have given a better run for Yaffa.

Great team win from Ramla, great to see Mana back, not the first half Mana where he left all his basketball skills and IQ in Mecca, second half Mana where he looked like his normal self. This game was sealed by the 6’6 shooter Hassan, making 5 clutch free throws all towards the end of the game. The two youngins also hit some big threes to give Ramla the lead, and Moayad hit a very clutch left-hand layup to secure the lead at the end. First half this team looked pretty slow, and as usual, they almost blew the lead, but overall played very well toward the end of the game. Except Lay, Allah yeedik alafya

No Adam F this game really screwed with them. With Adam in the game, they would have been able to secure the win. He I believe hurt his knee so he is out for the next week until playoffs, inshallah speedy recovery, however this team still should have been able to get the win. They had only five players, which meant everyone had to do cardio. Jared was the only one in double digits, Wish we saw more also from Zain, very skilled big however, he isn’t playing up to his standards from what we normally see him play. No doubt this team will bounce back during playoffs, good luck to whoever plays them.

This team is easily the best shooting team in the league, they have Amir, but let's also talk about his brother. Who is shooting 66% from three this season?!! Regardless this team shot more efficiently than the other team, the only problem was of course their defense. Although they are 1st in points scored, they are also 16th in points allowed. If this team had a defensive anchor, it would honestly be wraps for the league. Unfortunate lost, however they have a fun game next week.

Ali, Muj, Andrew, and Sal. These four were hooping on Wednesday, starting with our boy Ali. 6-11 from three and 23 points, an absolute beast. Muj was 19, looking like his old self. Although Andrew could not hit a three, his Middy’s and attacking the paint were working. And Sal with 14 to help secure the win. Like we said last week, this team is very good, super underrated. Fairly easy game next week, Can’t take any team light but hope to see them continue this win streak.

An amazing win by Yaffa, haven’t seen Big Moose smiling in weeks, after the game was over, we saw our guy walking around, dabbing everyone up, smiling lolll. Great sight, in all seriousness, this team showed why they are not at the bottom of the standings. 17 from both Jay and Moose, and as a team they shot the ball very well. Hoped to see more from Khalied, who is having a bad season compared to his previous season. Nonetheless, on paper, this team is one of the best, hope to see them win next week.

Omar had a cute little triple-double, Definitely paid some of the stat keepers for it. All jokes aside good win against a decent team. Ali S led with 15 points, and Ahmad A had another efficient game where he dropped 12 points going 5-8 as well as 7 boards. Good win overall, and shoutout to Islam, Always either Fursan or Islam step it up, never both at the same time LOL.

This team has some issues they have to figure out, cause fighting on the court and yelling at each other will do nothing but give the other team momentum. They played a really good first half, where at some point they even secured the lead. Watching this game, Would love to see adeeb trust his teammates a bit more. Although he had 22, not the prettiest shooting percentage, Muhanad only took 5 shots and made 4 of them, and Juan took 6 shots and made 3. Both players were extremely efficient, and swinging them the rock more would have helped better. Although he had 22, and shot 10-12 from free throws which is

Qibya, Qibya, when you're leading scorers are both shooting less than 7 shots a game, (Omar and Nader), and the black magician is shooting the most shots on the team that got to be a red flag, it has to be. Ali, we love you but 1-11, who are you playing for? When the only person in double digits is your center, then we gotta lock in and figure out another game plan. 16% from three as a team is ridiculous, in all seriousness for a team with Ali, and Omar who can shoot lights out 16% is Haram and unacceptable. Very tough game next week, they gotta figure out a game plan.

I truly hate to see this team at the bottom, they are pretty talented, however what they lack is that one person who can go out every game and consistently drop 18+ points. If they had that then no doubt they would be higher in the rankings. Another thing is the defense, Ya Allah if the 2-3 zone is not working, change it sooner. Rafay and Alaa both had a good game, more shooting is expected from Rafay, and good to see our boy Hicham back from his wrist injury, now he's Eligible for playoffs. Honestly, this team focuses on Defense, swings the ball better on offense, specifically around the perimeter, does n
