Muslim Basketball

Back-to-back strong performances. Jihad M’s team is playing like a cohesive, balanced unit. Four players in double digits last week, and another solid win this week cements them as the team to beat. Mohammad Mustafa has emerged as a very reliable scoring option for them.

Two convincing wins in a row. Nick showed improvement with better decision-making, and the team’s chemistry continues to shine. Even against weakened opponents, they’re passing every test. Also, winning this game without Mujtaba has me even more interested to see where they go from here.

Captain Elias and his squad followed up their dominant debut with another win—momentum is real. They’re making a case that their Week 1 blowout wasn’t a fluke, beating a strong offensive team that has balance. Looking to see how they continue to perform moving forward.

Finally got to see them play, and it’s about what we expected. Omar and Islam leading the way with team chemistry, while Ahmad is the do it all player on both ends, for them to get higher on the PR, I’m looking for more consistency from Ahmad and from Hassan F.

Strong hoop heaven debut moves them into the top five. These five are playing like they’ve been together for years, whether it’s Shafic playing like a true PG or being aggressive on offense, this team has the talent and scoring to keep up with anyone in the league on any given night.

Aadil and Adeeb might be one of the better duos in the league if they can keep up this level of play. A surprise team that’s quickly looking very legit. Moe rayyan is also emerging as one of the best third options of the season, fun team that I can see making a legit run.

Big bounce-back win after a rough Week 1. Charkas returned to form and showed why he’s a player to watch. This team isn’t going down easy. They played very well defensively as well which shows their chemistry with one another.

Took a step back this week after an impressive opening win. Still showed promise even in the loss, but consistency will be key moving forward. Someone besides Shah in this starting lineup needs to emerge, and it must happen fast.

Offense wasn’t the issue, but they couldn’t string together a win this week. I really feel like this was a case of a bad matchup for this team, considering Musa still had an elite performance. I really think someone has to help Musa down low as a paint presence, just watching the game back they gave up aloooooot of second chance points.

Offense wasn’t the issue, but they couldn’t string together two wins. Still a competitive team with high upside. I think that for them to be successful, they really need to stop digging themselves into holes early in games. Two weeks now they’ve almost completed comebacks from down double digits, if they can find early success they’ll be a problem.

Still struggling with rhythm and shooting. Jitters may be behind them now, but someone needs to step up alongside Hassan. I just feel like this team needs more than the other options are giving them. They had 3 players score the entire game, with Hassan accounting for 85% of the points as a whole, looking to see them rebound next week potentially and get that first win of the season down.

Back-to-back losses for a team that came in with high expectations. Chemistry and offensive flow remain a work in progres, also lacking some true consistency from anyone other than Mahrooz. I was really surprised to see them lose this game considering the opposition were down arguably their best player.

Played short-handed in Week 1 and in week 2 it seemed as though the team fell flat. Granted, they played a great opponent in Gaza, however, for them to win games moving forward I think that Ali H has to look more so to be a creator, opposed to taking 20+ shots especially if he isn’t on.

Missing a vital piece in Jake W, lost this game in double overtime. This team is still trying to figure things out as this was their first game with Zain present. I like how Deeb played with Zain in attendance. Looking to see them build more chemistry into next game hopefully with a full squad present.
