A good game from Mahmoud, having 18 points. Its a good day when you win one… and lose one?

In a low scoring slugfest of a game, I thought they could’ve pulled through. When Omar was doing well, you have to run the offense through him. Simple as that. 

When an opposing player scores as much as you did in a whole game, you just gotta pack it up. Let’s get to the positives—Danesh looks good, and Mahmoud is shooting more efficient than last season. Omar Mahmoud is a statue on defense, and gives whoever he covers problems. Shabazz had a tough game, but he should realistically bounce back. 

A massive, much needed win for the team. And at the buzzer! Shabazz with a team high 12 points, and he’s currently having his best year to date. This was an overall team win, and definitely a moral booster going into the second half of the season. 

Mahmoud and Shabazz had solid games but when you get outshot and out-rebounded, you’re just not gonna win. 

Rough, rough, rough showing from the veteran team. Tied at the half you thought it could’ve been their game. Danesh going 1-15, 0-9 from 3 is really uncharacteristic, and I expect him to bounce back. The two Mahmouds had 12 a piece. Overall, a week to forget for the guys, going a combined 22% from the field.

Hoopers know real heartbreak is losing in OT, so my love goes out to them. They put up a fight, Danesh had 12 points and 3 steals while the surprise here was Omar Mahmoud, having 13 points and 8 rebounds. This team is good, and is most likely shaking the offseason rust off. 

I’m glad to see Danesh coming back. He was a late season bloomer and really made an impact on the league. Mahmoud and Shabazz also make a return, and should contribute.
