After losing Joel Embiid again late in the game, the Invaders couldn't keep up with the Revs and fall right back to one game above .500. We make another quick stop at home before a brief East Coast swing, and we welcome the Vancouver Caribou, who will be looking to bring both their record and ours to 6-6. G Malik Monk is getting the feature for this one after scoring more points than every Invader save Paul George. The white jerseys are back out of the closet for this one, and if we move to 3-0 in them, you might see some more of them.

The Invaders aren't having a great year, but you can't say we haven't been able to keep bouncing back when we've been knocked down. That was certainly the case this week, as we soundly took down the Caribou to keep pace with the rest of the West. In fact, the only team that could keep pace with us over the past seven days was New York. Now, we hit the road, and our first stop is in ... New York. Goody. The good news is that we did all of that without star C Joel Embiid, but he's back in the lineup for this game, so hopefully that will give us an edge. It'll be a bit of a downer to backup C Isaiah Hartenstein, who thrived in the newfound spotlight, hauling in an astonishing 49 rebounds to go along with 25 points.

The Sentinels put up a good fight, but came up just short, and Albuquerque was able to come up with the win. With just seven games left in the regular season, the #1 seed is still within reach, but we'll pretty much need to avoid missteps from here on out. A loss this week would be an extremely large misstep, as we face off against the worst team in the league, the 0-13 Charlotte Flyers, so we'll hope to come out with a win once Sunday rolls around. Featured this week is G Jaden Ivey, who assembled his best game of the season, finishing with 74 points and double digits in rebounds and assists (and turnovers).

The Emeralds are getting healthy and playing some good ball, as evidenced by the top score in the AltBA this week and a win over the West leading Kansas City Marshals. We simply can't rest though, as we head on the road to take on the Revelers in New Orleans in the Evergreen sets. We had what felt like everyone having a great week, but none more than the big forward, Jaren Jackson Jr.! #ACutAboveTheRest

The Invaders lost this week, as we sort of expected, but it wasn't because we had a bad game, but moreso because Joel Embiid was sidelined due to injury. Unfortunately for fans in the Querq, it looks like he'll stay that way for a while, so we'll have to start finding ways to win without him. If last week was anything to go by, then G/F Devin Vassell is taking up the mantle of top player, as he put up a clean 100 points as well as double digits in rebounds and assists as well. If he can keep it up, we'll be able to get our 10th win of the season on the road against the Minnesota Giants.
