They were scorching hot in the first half and could not miss. Not sure what transpired in the second half but they had no answer for Anas or Khalied Saleh. Hassan with 15 points on a night he only took 11 shots and Hassan Farhat led the way with 27 points. Their next game is extremely winnable and one they need in order to avoid the last seed.

     idc they lost, Hassan is my favorite player

Another team that got into the win column after what has been a horrendous start to their season. Question: Has there been anyone playing better than Hassan this season? 28.4 pgg on 44% from the field and close to 9 rebounds and 4 assists. He’s doing this all while being the opposition's main focus on defense. Nice to see signs of life from Elias, Idris and others. Maybe Al-Balah can save their seasons after all.

Another star stuck in losing purgatory. Despite the 31-piece from Hassan, Al-Balah as a team combined for 25 points. 

Not even the Super Saiyan version of Hassan could get them into the win column this week. Although not on the roster, Ty Jackson coming in and scoring 61 points is absurd! Hassan, we still love you doe

They played great in the first half and matched up with Al-Quds extremely well, until Mahrooz went game breaker mode. At least they got someone other than Hassan scoring this week. Hopefully that continues when Omar Qasem returns.  

The much-anticipated debut of Singer was upon us last night, and all eyes were on how he and Hassan would mesh. Personally, it may not be an ideal fit as both guards want the ball in their hands, and rightfully so. Hassan was 10-21 and had a game high 24, while Singer only took 9 shot attempts. A trade could be looming, or they may have to get things situated before the team folds.

Solid win and much anticipated debut of Hassan Chaabane. The player to highlight here though, is rookie Yazan Abdelkarim, who was a menace on the boards. I still want to see the dynamic of this group with Omar Singer, but I think moving one of their guards for a big, would complement their role players quite well. 

Okay, okay. They were missing arguably a top 5 player in the league in Hassan Chaabane as well as star guard Omar Singer. Its week one, so need to panic but this team will certainly need their star backcourt to be present.

Ranking a backcourt of Hassan and Singer this low, really hurts my soul. On paper thats 35-40, 10-16 rebounds and plenty of play making. But they are two very ball dominant players. Interested in seeing how this dynamic will work.
