Messiah is Messiah, and will score and rebound. Everyone else just needs to step up where they can. 

They notched their second win of the season behind Messiah (15pts, 11reb) carrying them to the finish line. I do feel for them, missing Waheed, Aaron, and Yusuf oversleeping doesn’t help. They’re a talented team, and I think could be a top 10 squad if they start playing smarter. 

I’m going to sound like a broken record, but this team is wasting another year of Messiah, who has 55 rebounds in 3 games played. Aaron LaPlaca (14pts, 7reb) is a good compliment, but no one is using anyone right on this team. 

Messiah Antwi is a freak of nature, 20 points and 22 rebounds? Absolutely unreal. The rest of the squad? They need to step it up or else they’ll be wasting another one of Messiah’s seasons. Aaron LaPlaca (14pts) was a good add, and spaces the floor well. I just need to see more from the rest of the role players. And playing a veteran Tubas team this week, they can really show their skill. 

Not having Messiah again for the second straight week is crippling to this squad. Minhaj (18pts, 10reb) and Waheed (18pts) scored the most for this team, but its clear they were out played, out matched, and letting Akka run around them all day. Let’s hope the rest of the squad starts showing up. 

Yea it was a 4v4. 3v4 after Minhaj went down with an injury. They still have Messiah, so I’m not going to penalize them too much. Raheem led the team with 25 points. 

They were short handed this week, but when you have Messiah on the court, I don’t think you need much help. Messiah finished with a near triple-double (28pts, 17reb, 7blk) not to mention being the ultimate block machine which led them to the win. Helping the squad was Belal Habibullah, with 10pts on 4-6 shooting on the day. They were also missing key pieces in Aaron and Waheed, which gives me the impression that they’ll be even stronger in the coming weeks.
