Muslim Basketball

This may very well be the end for a team that won a championship not too long ago.

Lost with 5 guys, played against 4. Was the most boring game I’ve ever seen. Ahmed Faraj would have had 10 rebounds and 30 points if he could make a layup.

Played a respectable first half. Couldn’t handle Islamabad beyond that.

Very respectable fight, but they just don’t have the weapons to break Jakarta’s caliber of defense. 

Prayers go out to Mohamed Miraoui, that was not a pretty sight. Great game from Osamah, but not nearly enough to top the new kings of the PR.

I liked the balance offensive attack, but it wasn't enough. They have a couple guys who are somewhat capable of leading a team, they've done it in the past, but I cannot feel confident in their ability to do so. They're a bottom third team, but they are the one team that could potentially catch some sort of fire and make a little bit of a run. 

They’re 2-1 but they just do not look comfortable. Nothing I have seen in their first 3 games has lead me to believe this could be a return of the championship team from Spring 2014.

Nothing encouraging from that performance. At all.

Hamza seemed a bit unconfortable in his MB return, but Ahmed “James Harden” Farag stole the show, dumping in a career high of 20. Mohamed Miraoui also had a carrer high of 16. Don’t expect to see career highs every week, but also do not expect the Alaqrabawi brothers to shoot 2/12 and only contribute 8 points. Ameed, arguably their best player, wasn’t present, so look for them to only get better from here.
