Muslim Basketball

Great first season for these guys. I’m sure they’d like a few games back knowing that they were so close to making the playoffs. Regardless, their season cannot be considered a success and Hasnan may have to retire from President of Basketball Operations duties in the future. Thanks for playing hard and being sportsmanlike throughout the season. We hope to see you next season!

Another week another L.

Another team at risk of missing the playoffs but if they could squeeze out just one more win, they would almost clinch a playoff spot, the way the bottom seeds have looked.

Pretender.

They definitely gave Nablus a run for their money, in the first half, but the second half a different story. The Afzal brothers did their best to keep it close but anytime you give up 16 3PMs, tough to overcome that. 

28 3 point attempts from a team isn’t too outlandish, but 17 from one player is a cry for help. Reigning POTW Salman Khan struggled from the field but hats off to those Safad guards, as they pride themselves on defense. Captain Hasnan may want to address some X’s and O’s during the bye week.

Did Hasnan see something that we didn’t the first two weeks but wow, they shot the lights out. Everyone knocked down a 3 and Salman hit 7 himself. They totaled 54 rebounds as a team and had 17 assists as a team. It’s only one week, but perhaps I was wrong about this team after all.

I was hoping my preseason rankings were just temporary but here we are two weeks in. It seems that Zeeshan and Ali are the players to watch on Al-Khalil. The scheduling team was not kind to Captain Hasnan & friends.

Its week one, a bunch of new faces to the league so I won’t be too hard on them. As the podcast had so accurately predicted, Ali Baig did get buckets and led his team in scoring.

Sorry Hasnan, but it’s only temporary.
