Muslim Basketball

Baghdad was absolutely crushed in the 4v4 game. Arcenio had a career high with 27 which is good to see, but the defense was non-existent. Once a team scores 3 digits on you, it’s a wrap. Timmy has to show up for Baghdad to have a 5% chance of beating Islamabad in the playoffs.

With or without Tim Brown, this team doesn’t seem to be making much noise. I guess it’s too late to ask Amir to come back.

Baghdad couldn’t take advantage of a Muj-less Tripoli. I have to stop using that line. It is good to see Moe shooting the way we are used to seeing him shoot, scoring 21 and shooting 5-9 from 3. Unfortunately, he and Timmy didn’t do enough to get the win.

This team is looking more and more like Timmy and the rest. He is doing all he could to keep this team afloat, but his back is bound to break from carrying everyone on the roster. They have another L waiting for them next game against a Tripoli looking to avoid three losses in a row.

This season, they have just been Bad-dad. Okay, bad joke, but seriously. Another situation where I don’t think Tim Brown actually played, so I don’t know how he is 0-1 (unless he got injured). That is happening way too often, and the statistic gentlemen need to do a better job. Moe and Dondre did the most they could, but nobody, and I mean nobody was able to stop Omar from getting rebounds.

They beat a struggling Damascus team, but Timmy can carry this team only so far. He has Dondre, but Moe is having his worst shooting season of his MB career. Thomas has to be a better GM this offseason and make this team as competitive as they were last season.

Timmy and Dondre really needed Moe’s help this game. Moe has got to be more consistent with his shooting if this team wants any shot at upsetting someone in the playoffs.

Barely beating Riyadh isn’t what Baghdad should be happy about, but maybe this win can help them get the motivation to start a streak. Oh, and Tim Brown had a monster game. Couldn’t end this without mentioning that.

Have I mentioned that they probably miss Amir yet? They went from powerhouse, to powerpuff. They have to get back on track.

It seemed like nobody could really catch fire. The two new guys combined for 5-25 from the field. If they are Amir and Mark’s replacements, they have to play a lot better than that.

Look for Moe and Tim to pick up the slack for the loss of Amir and Mark. Hopefully their new guys can help as well.
