Riyadi lost their first game yesterday, away to Byblos.

All teams lost now, and All teams won games. Riyadi still on top though. Rumour going they want IRAN center Hamed Ehadadi.

Pecherov might not last in the league long enough.

Here is what Sagesse coach wrote about him


"The loss of our Sagesse team tonight is unfortunate but however explainable. The team had played 2 major games during a period of 24 hours. Plus, the long flight fatigue and the lack of chemistry among the players made it hard to win against the very well formed team of the African Club.
About our out of shape power forward Pecherov, I met with him and explained to him what our team needs from him offensively and defensively .
In case he will not be able to achieve his task adequately the Management and myself will act upon it accordingly."


LOL, Another foreigner change coming in sagesse. Like I said some teams change foreigners like they are changing underwears lol. Jarrid Famous was better then Pecherov imo.

Guys who knows where i may see boxscore from WABA tournament in Jordan?

By the way, very interesting game between Al-Riyadi and Petrochimi right now.

[eshmawi]

Terrell Stoglin is putting up points big time, but not enough for crappy saggesse team still..

1 win 2 losses with Stoglin in the league, Today he scored 42 points but still not enough. In 3 games averaging 35.6 points, top scorer of league.

[eshmawi]

Homenetmen beat Riyadi, Ahmad ibrahim completly outplayed Fadi el Khatib.
I think Ahmad Ibrahim is officially best lebanese player.

[eshmawi]

If there is center out NT should naturalize. It should be norvel pellle ( homenetmen).
low cost
top rebounder in league ( 15 rebounds per game)
top block shoter in league ( 4 blocks per game)

apart from spreading fear in players under basket to block them... he devaites lot of shots.

Sagesse sign todd o'brien, and released pecherov as expected. keep changing foreigners more then changing underwear as i said lol.

[eshmawi]

Sagesse keep losing, Stoglin being trapped and double teamed to take the ball off his hand.The rest pure garbage on the team.
Fouad Abou Chacra lost the plot completly.

Norvel Pelle shall be the naturalized center of our national team.He keeps decimating opponents with block shots, 4 per game.
