Once again a pretty predictable matchup for Mana and co. Did a great job yet again this week all around as a team, with Amir, Ehsan, and Mana all having great games to lead the team to the W, and into first place on the PR. Looking like a team to beat come playoff time, Fish and co are ready to roll.

Amazing game for a team down two starters in Elias and Ehsan. Shows their depth against another solid team in Rafah, four players in double digits and Mana with an amazing game of 34/20, with everyone else contributing and doing their thing. This is gonna be a tough team to beat with the way they play, the only thing that’ll be interesting to keep track of is their offensive consistency, however, elite defensively week in and week out with Mana sittin under the rim.

Another W for Mana and co. Not really a surprise here as the opponent was inferior, however, the game was closer than I would’ve liked to see from the squad. They were down Ehsan this week, and they definitely need his scoring to continue to be elite. Still a top 3 team defensively, they just need to be more efficient offensively to continue to be successful.

Big win against a team that was 4-0 this week, really showed that the squad could do it against the league's best. Great bounce back after the loss without captain E last week. This team continues to be elite on defense, however, would love to see some more consistency offensively moving forward. Shoutout to Amir though with a double double leading the team in points. Love the passion the squad brought this week backing up the trash talk from the chat.

Granted, they were without the Moroccan prince this week in Elias, who was really a necessity in a game like this to control the pace and flow on both perimeters. I think this game really falls into the hands of the consistency of the co-stars on the team. Mana did his thing as we’ve come to expect, but for the squad to reclimb the ranks Amir and Ehsan must be more consistent, Amir especially, they lost this game by four points, and I would’ve loved to have seen the co stars be more aggressive.

That’s back-to-back wins against quality opponents, granted Nazareth was missing their star PG in Shafic, Nazareth put up a fight. Elias continues to lead with poise and pace, and this offense is humming. If they keep this pace, a climb to #1 could be on the horizon. If Ehsan can continue to play efficiently and Amir H gives them 2-4 3s per game, they’re going to be a really tough team to stop.

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.

Captain Elias and co had themselves quite a debut beating their opponent by 20+ points, granted this was a matchup nightmare for their opponents however I need to see them do it again to really be convinced.
