Muslim Basketball

They showed that they could score with some elite options on the other side in Haifa’s team, interested to see if they can keep the consistency up.

Captain Elias and co had themselves quite a debut beating their opponent by 20+ points, granted this was a matchup nightmare for their opponents however I need to see them do it again to really be convinced.

This was a great performance all around from Jihad Ms team, with four players in double digits. All around played great and played seemingly like a team with some good chemistry for the first game of the season, excited to see where they go from here.

This game was a surprise win to me.  I thought Mahrooz and Co definitely would’ve pulled it out, however, if Aadil and Adeeb can be a consistent 1-2 punch on a weekly basis I think they’ll be very good. Great team game.

Great team performance as well, looked very cohesive as a unit. I do believe that big man Nick can be more efficient with the rock in his hands, however, still a really solid game overall. I will say I need to see them do it against a team at full strength due to the opposition missing their number one option in Ali.

Great first showing for a team I believed would be towards the bottom of the list for the entire season. This win is especially interesting because Shahzaib didn’t even have a good game. If Safad can have Shah and Mr. Afzal be a consistent 1-2 lookout.

I feel as though this game was a case of 1st draft jitters, and not playing cohesively as a team. Rafah shot abysmally and cannot rely on Hassan to handle the workload 24-7, it just won’t be winning basketball. I’m looking to see the shooters bounce back next game and give Hassan some real help.

Good showing from the team as a whole, I feel for them to be successful they’re going to have to lock in on the defensive side of things, and will also need a 3rd option to emerge offensively.

his was a surprising loss to me, however, I’ll chalk it up to them just not having the chemistry there yet. Two recipes for success for this team in my opinion are to get Nader more shots, and to get Mahrooz  more available looks within the 3 pt line.

They were missing a few pieces so I’ll provide them with the benefit of the doubt, however, they’ll look to quickly rebound next week, hopefully with their star player in Ali H.

There isn’t really much for me to say here, I just feel like an undersized team got mismatched against a team with lots of size, and skill. Led to a recipe for disaster. However, I’m looking to see them rebound next week. Charkas is like Jalen Brunson, I doubt he shoots that bad again.

Now, let me preface this by saying yes Zain is still on his annual summer vacation, however, they need to be better as a team efficiency wise and spreading the ball around. I’m looking for Singer to really hone in on being a PG this season and setting his teammates up.
