Tough loss to Alexandria to end the season. Don’t like their chances versus Beirut. Very talented team though, some real potential just missing a piece or two. A little more experience and talent and this team can go far next season.

Just when you thought they were ready to turn their season around they let you down again. Absolutely blown out by Cordoba and the effort just wasn’t there. Next week they take on a good offensive team in Alexandria and unless they come out with a win they will also be meeting one of the higher seeds in the playoffs which isn’t a good sign.

Woah. It looks like the potential that was hidden behind this team came out in full colors this week. They put up a division season high of 77 points with Ahmed, Rabeeh, and Ricardo combining for 59 points and AbdulKareem finishing with 14 dimes, a new D2 record! For their sake, hopefully they can continue that hot streak going into their final two games against Cordoba and Alexandria, two great shooting teams.

Just overly disappointed with this team. There is potential but not enough effort. Next game they take on another winless team where they might be able to finally get on the winning column; but make no mistake if the effort is as low as it’s been the past few games they’ll be the ones remaining winless while Sarajevo will be celebrating its first win.

I thought this team would be able to at least contest Amman for the win this week but it seemed like the team was playing with no heart. It’s tough when you have a core of young guys to get a team going if no one is at least trying to boost the team morale. Next week they take on the offensive juggernaut known as Lahore and if their defense plays the way it did this week they’ll be 0-3 before they know it.

Played a solid game all throughout making some tough shots but couldn’t keep up with Granada in the end. They’re a young group of guys and should be able to bounce back from a loss like that and should be able to against a struggling Palermo squad. If they knock down their shots and level up the defense a little they should be just fine next week.

Not the best season for this young group of guys last season but they did show some promise. The addition of AbdulKareem might help answer some questions for them as they look to make a better impression this time around.
