The Emeralds have broken the pattern! Going into week 7, the Ems had not won on an odd numbered week or lost on an even numbered week, but we came out of week 7 with a win over the Flyers! We look to keep the streak alive on even numbered weeks however, as we host the Kansas City Marshals. They don't look like the team they were last year (but really, none of us in the league do), but we're not going to take them lightly. We're breaking out the 57 Facet alternate jerseys this week, shown off by last week's top scorer, center Deandre Ayton!

The AltBA is fascinating, as it feels like any of the top fourteen teams can beat any other on any given week. Parity in basketball? I guess. Still, there is some stratification, like Seattle, ABQ, and LA rising to the top.

Taking a rough loss to the Marshals, the Emeralds sit at .500 and look to get back into the win column. This week we host the Boston team, as the Schooners come to The Dick. We are wearing our normal home Stratus sets, shown by star center and last week's top scorer, Deandre Ayton!

Coming off a win over Boston to move us back over .500, we stay in Seattle to face the Kahunas. We know that it'll be hard to focus on the Emeralds facing the lowly Kahunas with the Steelheads hosting an AltFL Semifinal game across the street at Starbucks Coliseum, so we're going to offer a 33% discount, in reference to how many points the Steelheads beat the Nightriders by, on all concessions and in the pro shop during the Steelheads Semifinal game here at The Dick! We'll also have the "big screen" on a split screen so you can keep track of the Steelheads game while watching the Emeralds beat up on the Kahunas. We're wearing our standard Stratus set, since it's closest to the steel of the Steelheads, this week, shown by last week's top scorer, Donovan Mitchell!

The Emeralds hosted a game against the Kahunas last week. They had their highest score of the week last week, though it still wasn't enough to hang with the gems. We're going to be heading out on the road again this week as we face the Olympians. The Emeralds are looking to claw their way back into at least a share of the division lead, and a bit of revenge on the Olympians will help with that. This week we'll be wearing the 57 Facets jerseys, shown off by top scorer Trae Young!
