[eshmawi]

some stats

foreigners scored 1280 points till now, lebanese 768
Most team foreigner scored: mouttahed 255 points, 86 % of their points.
Most team lebanese scored: champville ( 130 ) points , 42 % of their points. Homenetmen 122 points ( 45 % of their team points).

Till now Homenetmen been best lebanese wise, due to ahmad ibrahim.

[eshmawi]

We are not watching lebanese league anymore, its lebanese league for foreigners.
What a disaster, apart from Riyadi, Homenetmen, Champville rest of teams are just foreigners playing and not lebanese.
Riyadi cause they have best lebanese players, Homenetmen because of ahmad ibrahim and champville because they have ghassan sarkis as coach not giving total reign to his foreigners.
The worst is Moutahed, 95 % of their score is always foreigners.

[eshmawi]

Ahmad ibrahim just scored 36 points for homenetmen, and outplayed all foreigners in the game.
Homenetmen won 114 - 102 over Champville. This will be the year Ahmad ibrahim explodes.

Thx, what news about Arnett Moultrie? He looked good in Sixers!

He was on a month trial, but decided to leave early ... Riyadi claimed Moultrie didnt want to stay and didnt like it here. Also he didnt play much in supercup game to evaluate him.


They claiming after chinese league is over, Holman is coming over to Riyadi again for playoffs.



Anyway, Sagesse - Hoops another embarassing show...6 foreigners in the game doing everything..the other 4 lebanese watching lol.

The Lebanese Basketball league for season 2015 - 2016 starter, and we can safely claim we have the best league in Asia... but its anything but lebanese.


First game between tadamon & moutahed. Game ends 82 - 68 for tadamon, moutahed lebanese players scored only 9 out of 68 points..whereas lebanese players of tadamon scored 14 out of 82.

In total foreigners scored 127 out of 150 points, whereas lebanese scored only 23.


Well done Mr Walid Nassar in adopting the 3 foreigner rule per team... you ruined lebanese basketball.

SO Indeed, Ahmad Ibrahim joins homenetmen .Much better for our NT, now he can star and put in 20 ppg this season with more minutes.

[eshmawi]

Homenetmen might pull the biggest coup of the summer by signing Ahmad Ibrahim.

My Power Rankings:

1 - Riyadi: Khatib, Ismael, Ali Mahmoud, Wael Arakji, Jean Abdel Nour, Amir Souad, Ali Haidar, Ahmad Ibrahim
2 - Byblos: Joseph ABi Kheres, Joe Vogel, Ali Kenaan, Bassel Bawji, William Pharis, Ali Barada, Ellie Chamoun, Samer Mechref
3 - Moutahed: Charles el Tabet, Omar el Turk, Ralph Akl, Omar Ayoubi, Tarek Ammoury, Mario Abboud, Tanguy Osman, Alaa El Din Aranout
4 - Sagesse: Rodrigue Akl, Elis Rustom, Roy Samaha , Hayk ( Suspended one year), Bachir Ammoury
5 - Tadamon: Mohamad ibrahim, Mazen Mneimneh, Jad khalil, Patrick bou Abboud, Ali Fakhreddine
6 - Champville: Rony Fahed, Elie Estephan, Carl Sarkis, Michel Sadaka, Marc kourjian
7 - Homenetmen: Bilal Tabbara, Nadim Souaid.


Hoops - Louaize should be 8- 9. Now if Homentmen get Ahmad Ibrahim that will change the power ranking picture , and move Homenetmen to top 4 for me instead of Sagesse. But they got no bench

[eshmawi]

Roy Samaha, Sabah Khoury and Bachir Ammoury sign for Sagesse. Sagesse are really low level club, with dirty adminstration. They negotiate some of their players under contract, to lower their salaries despite them signing official contracts. Then go ahead and sign other players with money.

I mean you dont have money, why sign new players.. keep your word and contracts you got with your current players.

With this logic every club will end up giving contracts to certain players, then why they are injured or not up to level.. rip the contract apart. What a joke. where is professionalism in the game?

[eshmawi]

Apparently Hayk is staying at Sagesse, and not going to Homentemen.A bit of ugly work by Hayk, he shaked hands and got verbal agreement with homenetmen to jojn them.. everything was set to sign in 24 hours..and he changed his mind ...
Nothing illegal, but not ethical. Sagesse is becoming the team full of money whores, starting julian khazzouh who dumped them..now hayk.. they have no identity left.

Sagesse also signed Wayne Chism, as foreigner from filipino league.

[eshmawi]

Miguel Martinez joins NDU , Hayk Gyokchyan ends up in homenetmen a huge loss for sagesse.


Ghassan Sarkis might be without job this season

Please I urge all Champville Club fans & #BlueNation supporters to stop sending me questions about the team etc... If u want to know any official answers please ask the administration... I'm not Champville coach & I can't comment or answer ur questions...

Jad Khalil goes Tadamon.


Class A: Riyadi
Class B: Byblos, Moutahed
Class C: Homenetmen, Tadamon
Class D: Sagesse, Hoops
Class unknowns: NDU, Champville, Antranik
