Did y’all ever question where they would be ranked after putting up a Ben Franklin.

Big turnaround in the second half and a heck of a performance from MVP frontrunner Muj. Down two KEY players and that didn’t faze the former champs as they continue to assert themselves amongst the league’s best.

They took care of business as expected and their guards continue to shine in their fast-paced offense.

LAST WK: 6

Winners of 4 in a row and playing great basketball. Ed left this one with some knee soreness. At 66 years young, Jakarta can’t afford to lose their only guard for any extended period.

They smelt blood and capitalized. Saw that Tehran only had 4 players and made the most of their opportunities. Complete team effort and their clicking on all cylinders.

Medina

LAST WK: 7

Probably should be much lower due to their poor first half performance against a bottom dweller, but fortunately for them, they woke up in the second half. Awful shooting as a whole, good thing they locked up defensively when it mattered most.

After being upset in week 6, you’d expect Mingo and friends to come out with a sense of urgency, right? Wrong, well at least not in the first half.

They struggled against a bigger Jakarta team. On paper, they match up with anybody. Just a matter of getting shots to fall and we know they have the guys that can do it.

WELP, I mean they did not have Raza but nonetheless, WELP.

NEVER COUNT OUT A MAIRAJ LED TEAM BABY! This team might be this year's “we believe Warriors”.

Struggled shooting the ball as a collective unit but they have their eyes on capturing Saudi Arabia with their week 8 matchup against Medina.

They gave Medina quiet the scare in the first half. But they returned to Suba form in the second and gave the game away.

LAST WK: 17

Muhanad Deeb made his long-anticipated return and that still wasn’t enough to  help them secure their first win of the year. And despite being 0-7, they have the best chance of the winless teams to make the playoffs due to their point differential.

Lost by 50…… Perhaps a team shake up is in order going into the offseason, but s/o to Omar Khalaf, this year’s most improved player.
