New Jersey (North): Safad (D2)

Power Ranking Trend

Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 9 3-6 9

 Bright side, they put up 62 points. On the other hand they gave up 75 points, including 47 points in the first half. Aside from their defensive lapses, the poor shot selection continues to haunt this team. Despite their two game winning streak ending last night, they should be able to matchup against Nablus and perhaps position themselves for a favorable first round matchup.

Week 8 3-5 9

It was the Abbassi show! Can they keep it going?!?!!?

Week 7 2-5 10

Wow, they got a win. But can they turn it into a win streak?

Week 6 1-5 12

They are officially the worst team in the league. Nothing else to say. 

Week 5 1-4 10

If Safad played every half, like it was the 2nd half, they would probably be a solid 3-2, at the very minimum. They cannot continue to come outta the gates this lethargic. Omar Abbassi needs to figure things out and demand more out of this ball club.

Week 4 1-3 10

It was nice to see Koyas and Deeb perform this game, but Malik and Lil O were nonexistent. They have yet to have a game where all four are clicking on all cylinders. 

Week 3 1-2 9

Hooray, Omar and Malik remembered how to shoot a basketball. Jokes aside, the two guards found their stride in the midst of a two-game losing streak and led the way for Safad’s first win of the season. Lil O with 21, 7 and 5 is a stat line worthy of POTW.

Week 2 0-2 12

Tough way to lose last week, after fighting back in their previous game. Lil O and Malik aren't shooting well. Koyas isn't playing like himself and defensively they can't stop a nosebleed. 

Week 1 0-1 8

Their two best shooters combined to go 2-19 from deep, and they somehow only lost by two. As mentioned previously, Al-Quds was without Moayad and Ahmad Sehwail but Safad did not their shots. Need more out of their backcourt as well as from Koyas. Deeb did his job and I expect that to be the theme moving forward.

Preseason 0-0 8

Looking at this roster, I have some questions. Who's their PG? Who on earth is going to compliment Lil O? AND WHO'S THEIR PG???
