It wasn't the prettiest win, but against a tough opponent in Vancouver, the Invaders mounted a late comeback to pull off the opening day W. Now we head home, and we welcome to the desert the defending champion Sentinels. New York opened their season with a similarly tight win over Baltimore, so both teams will be looking to move to 2-0 on the year. Helping the Querq's cause will be LePaul George, who rattled off 82 points with double digits in rebounds, assists, and nearly steals as well. As tradition, we're in all white for the home opener.

Wow, the Invaders sure do like narrow comeback wins, huh? After a nail-biter in week 1, our nails are now fully gone, as we barely pulled out the win over the reigning champs to move to 2-0. Hopefully, we won't need to stress quite as much about the Charlotte Flyers, who are headed in the opposite direction with an 0-2 start. We're featuring Gordon Hayward this week because he led the comeback on Sunday and also led the team in scoring across the week. He gets to be the first to model the turquoise jerseys this season.

Finally, a win that didn't require a last-second comeback! With a strong game against Charlotte, the Invaders join the Emeralds as one of the two undefeated teams remaining in the AltBA. That record will immediately be put to the test as we face off against the Kansas City Marshals for the fourth time in our last nine games. We'll need to be at the top of our game to beat the reigning West champions, but we've already beaten the AltBA champs this season, so we can certainly tango with the runners-up. Leading the charge is G/F Jaylen Brown, who dropped 94 points, and achieved double digits in rebounds, assists, and turnovers last week.

The Invaders took down an extremely beat-up Marshals team to move to 4-0 on the year, and, with the Emeralds loss, become the last undefeated team on the season in the AltBA. We have another tough matchup coming up this week, though, as we welcome the Minnesota Giants to the Saucer. While their record sits at just 2-2, they've finished as the highest-scoring team in half of the four weeks so far, including last week, where they barely squeaked out a win over Boston. Of course, Albuquerque is no stranger to close games, so it should be a fun matchup to watch on Sunday. G/F Josh Giddey scored 54 points and added 22 rebounds last week in order to put his face (and his beautiful, beautiful hair) in front of your eyes.

We have gotten too big for our britches, and They have punished us for our hubris. Our reign of terror as the only undefeated team in the AltBA lasted all of one game, as we fell behind early to the Giants and couldn't catch up. Now at 4-1, we face off against the only other 4-1 team in the league, as we hit the road and head to Baltimore. Guard Derrick White will focus on getting the Invaders back on track after posting 44 points and 20 assists in the losing effort, while the rest of us will focus on getting used to his newly-shaven head.
