As expected, the Marshals proved too much to handle for a continually-hobbled Invaders squad, as we fall to 2-4 on the season. This week, we get another perennial rival in the Los Angeles Olympians, who have roared back from a 1-3 start to the season and now sit one spot above us in the standings. As we continue to work through the beginning of the season, we'll highlight G Malik Monk, who provided just about the only offensive spark we could muster against KC. Monk went for 89 points, 19 rebounds, and 27 assists in the losing effort. #GoldStar

And following a big win over LeBron James and the Minnesota Giants, we head to the Land of Enchantment to take on LBJ's original team, the Albuquerque Invaders. The Kahunas are sitting at 6-1 and in early position for a playoff spot. But we need to keep winning to maintain that. With the Invaders in their white uniforms for this one, we'll bring the pineapple set along. Our featured player is forward Keegan Murray! #TheBigKahunas

Now that's what I'm talking about. Something clicked for the Invaders against LA, as we cruised to a dominant win over the battered Olympians. We still have a long way to go if we want to crack the small playoff field, but we're only getting healthier as we stay at home to welcome the Pineapple Bois to the Querq. The 'Hunas are out to a really strong start, and are one of those postseason teams we need to catch up to, so this will be a big one. We're sticking with the home whites for a second game in a row, since our three wins have come in our three games in white. Featured this week is G Ayo Dosunmu, who racked up 68 points, 27 assists, 17 rebounds, and 6 steals. #GoldStar

The Invaders couldn't capitalize on the momentum coming into this game, as we took the L against the Kahunas. We've gotta head out on the road for this next one, as we've got a date in Dertoit. The Mustangs are coming off just their second win of the season, so this will be a bit of an easier matchup. We can't rest on our laurels, though, since we'll need a lot of help making up the distance between us and the top four. Rocking the turquoise jerseys on the graphic is C Goga Bitadze, who has been a surprise success this year. Against Honolulu, the Georgian (that's the country, not the US state) scored 20 points, hauled in 25 rebounds, and blocked 4 Kahuna shots. #GoldStar

With a big win over The Querq, the Kahunas move to 7-1 on the season, and in a three way tie for second place in the league. One of those teams we're tied with is the Philadelphia Gladiators, and they're heading out to Honolulu for this one. It's a beautiful, sunny 80 degrees in Hawaii for this one, so we've got the roof open and letting everyone enjoy the breeze off the ocean and beach. We're going to be in the pineapple uniforms again this week, and our featured player is guard Anfernee Simons, who had his best game as a Kahuna, dropping 50 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, dishing out 12 assists, and grabbing 4 steals against the Invaders. #TheBigKahunas
