Muslim Basketball

I don't think Farhad has come into the playoffs as a lower seed than this, but he has done everything he can to put this team in positions to win. As the years go by, there are no signs of him slowing down which gives this team that much hope. Tariq Yasin is a solid second guy who can get his own shot and Ed can shoot the ball with the best of them, but I.m not sure they can go 40 minutes and come out on top against the 14 teams ranked ahead of them. Maybe if the games were just 20 minutes though.

6 total points in the second half is blasphemy. I’ve seen Ed eat six donuts.

Their two leading scorers have a combined age of 80……. And unfortunately, if we were to convert that to points, they still would have lost. Shatila is in desperate need of a win, and a sip from the fountain of youth. But 25 a piece from Ed and Farhad is quite impressive.

I have no idea.

There was a goat sighting, and I am not talking about Farhad. Mr. Edriss returned and got reacquainted with the 3-ball, knocking down 4. Farhad got busy and took advantage of Yaffa’s lack of size scoring 32 points and bringing down 11 rebounds. Nice outing from Hosam as well with 15 points and 8 rebounds. Scoring isn’t an issue for this team and quite frankly, team’s don’t have an issue scoring against them either. 

Lost by forfeit

Ed where are you?!?!? Farhad with the superman stat line once again but it wasn’t the most efficient outing. Quite Frankly, no one of Shatila shot well. This team is sinking and fast!

A dead clock is right twice a day. The same can be applied to basketball because Farhad doesn't have these types of games regularly. 8-25 is extremely uncharacteristic from one of the league’s best but kudos to Haifa for making it difficult on him. Tariq Yasin picked up the slack with 21 points and Hosam also scoring in double digits with 10. I would like to see more from Ed, who as we all know isn’t afraid to shoot the rock.

Farhad and Ed are the duo we all didn’t know we needed, with the former leading all scorers with 28 points. Solid contributions from Tariq Yasin and Hosam Karkis. I may be underselling this team right now, but need to see more out of them before I can feel confident about ranking them higher.

This may seem a little low, but hear me out. Farhad is a stud and we are all aware of that. He is most likely a top 3 MB player of all time and he sure as heck isnt third. As for the rest of the cast mates, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. Who is the second scorer? Is it Ed, is it Tariq? Will the new faces be able to contribute right away? For now, outside of the top 10 isn’t too bad.
