Week 7 Power Rankings

Line

There's a full slate of games this week. Every team is playing.

Rank Team Record Comment
1. Benedict Schemers 5-0 What power rankings curse? These guys are walking the walk. They were leading by 20 against former champs Team X and never looked back. This is the team to beat.
2. Manhattan Pride 4-2 Will the real Manhattan Pride please stand up? This team once looked out of sync losing two straight but now they have reeled off two impressive victories against good teams. They look to go all the way this year to the championship.
3. Spring Street 3-2 Spring Street was off last week. They've got a big matchup this week with Newport at 1:00PM this Sunday.
4. 3rd Rock 3-2 Tough loss against the then winless Money Team. Their schedule gets no easier as they face the #1 Benedicts this week.
5. Newport 3-2 Uh oh. After winning their first three games, Newport is now on a two-game skid. They've got a huge test this week against defending champs Spring Street.
6. Team X 3-2 These guys fell behind early and had trouble coming back in the 2nd half against the dominant Benedicts. But don't sleep on these former champs when they've got a full squad.
7. Very Erratic Play 3-2 They've lost two straight and are coming off a bye to face up against Manhattan Pride this Sunday at 6:00pm.
8. Indie Team 3-2 This team is slowly playing better with each other, but I'm still not convinced. Prove me wrong this week against Hoops!
9. Ponzi Schemers 2-3 When the Ponzis are at full strength, they are very scary. They still only have two wins though. The MVP of floor mopping last week was without a doubt Mike Plude.
10. Titans 3-2 Very impressive win by these guys. The league's youngest team is fearless and is getting better and better each week. Let's see how they do against the Ponzi Schemers this Sunday though.
11. Money Team 1-4 Put them on the board! With their first win of the season, look for these guys to finish out the season strong with a couple more victories. Definitely the dark horse in the playoffs.
12. Stay Movin' 2-4 After coming back from food poisoning, team leader James Kwon made it rain going 4 for 5 from three-point land. With sharpshooters outside along with a big presence down low with Raul, this team has the makings of a Cinderella come playoff time.
13. Hoops! I Did It Again 1-4 These guys need to finish games stronger. With some careless passes late in the game, Hoops! sealed their own fate.
14. Trick Candles 1-4 Team Captain Vin takes its to the hole with reckless abandon but struggled from three point land going 2-12. It's feast or famine with this team. If they're on, they can be tough, but when they're not, they fall behind quick.
15. Super Soul Sonics 1-4 This team is on a four game losing streak ever since losing their big man to a pinky injury. Rumor has it that the doctor has cleared him to play next week. We'll see if they can get back on track this week.
16. Game, Blouses 3-2 Captain Lewis Tse blamed the loss on the gym being too hot. He also had his car towed prior to the game, so I guess that was also on his mind.

Week 6 Power Rankings

Line

Spring Street and Very Erratic Plays have byes this Sunday.

Rank Team Record Comment
1. Benedict Schemers 4-0 After a decisive win over Money Team last Sunday (and watching Newport falter), the Benedict Schemers are the only undefeated team left. Erik led the game last week with 25 points and 8 rebounds and look to him to bring the Schemers far into the playoffs.
2. 3rd Rock 3-1 With the game tied at the half last Sunday against the Ponzi Schemers, 3rd Rock really pulled through as the better team and certainly one of the top three teams in the league. With an impressive double double of 12 points and 18 rebounds by Brad, we can expect to see this team to close out the season with a high seed going into the playoffs.
3. Team X 3-1 With one of the best front courts ABCHoops has ever seen, Team X made it clear of their intentions to win another championship. Forward Justin put up 17 points and 13 rebounds, which was nothing short of what we expect from him. Consistently putting up great performances, Nobby has really been the Eli Manning of the team.
4. Spring Street 3-2 Spring Street put up the greatest comeback in ABCHoops history. Going into the second half with 9 points and two technical fouls, Spring St. looked unorganized and disoriented. However, with better defense and shot selections by the team, they brought it to over time with a decisive victory against the Game Blouses. This is the championship team we're used to seeing.
5. Newport 3-1 Last week was disappointing for Newport after they had promised a perfect season. They proved no match for the long range sharp shooting of Will and Pedro. I don't see them starting a losing streak though since they face the Ponzi Schemers this Sunday.
6. Manhattan Pride 3-2 Having the highest average in blocks as a team, Manhattan Pride has finally perfected its defense. Leading scorer Corey put up 20 points against Newport, handing them their first loss of the season.
7. Very Erratic Play 3-2 After losing two straight, this team will have a lot to think about during this week's bye.
8. Indie Team 2-2 Perhaps last week's Power Rankings was an inspiration to their victory. With a team total of 16 assists, the Indies played well and looked for each other for the buckets. A much needed win for this team.
9. Titans 2-2 The Titans blew out the Sonics 50-36 with great shooting last week. If this team continues to communicate on the court and lessen its turn overs, we might see this team finish with a four game winning streak.
10. Ponzi Schemers 1-3 This team has all the keys in a good team. Great guards and size down low. Coming off a close game loss to 3rd Rock, the Ponzis will have to change their play if they want to be a serious contender come playoffs.
11. Hoops! I Did It Again 1-3 The Hoops came up with their first victory of the season! Let's hope they don't get too confident as they face off against the Titans next week.
12. Trick Candles 1-3 After a disappointing first half performance, the Trick Candles weren't able to come back for the W against Indie Team. Their FG% really needs to improve if they expect to compete--it's the second worst in the league.
13. Stay Movin' 1-4 Missing star point guard James, the team started the first half in the lead with guard Russell leading the fast break and dropping 5 dimes. However, despite this and Raul's double-double, the team was unable to secure a victory.
14. Money Team 0-4 I still stand by my previous statement of the Money Team being the best squad that hasn't won a game.
15. Super Soul Sonics 1-3 This team cannot be afraid to take the shot. Leading scorer Joji put up 11 points after shooting 5 of 13. The rest took less than 8 shots each. Their schedule isn't getting any lighter. It's time to step it up guys.
16. Game, Blouses 3-1 Spring Street scored 9 points in the first half, yet Game, Blouses still lost. What?

Week 5 Power Rankings

Line

Every team plays this week so it's time to see who is most ready to close out the regular season strong.

Rank Team Record Comment
1. Newport 3-0 After an impressive clutch shot late in the second half by Cheo, Newport’s win over Very Erratic Play showed everyone they're the team to beat. Their promise of a perfect season still holds.
2. Benedict Schemers 3-0 Undoubtedly the better Schemer, this team looks to return off a bye week to continue their pursuit of perfection.
3. Very Erratic Play 3-1 A devastating loss last week handed to them by Newport. They enter this week with a tough matchup against the newly improved Team X.
4. 3rd Rock 2-1 This team is nothing like the one we saw last season. From finding the open man, to Latwan draining the long three’s, this team is a strong playoff contender this season.
5. Team X 2-1 Lenny and Justin, two of their stars from earlier seasons, returned from their absence last week against Indie Team. Could these two be the missing pieces for Team X and their star point guard Nobby?
6. Spring Street 2-2 After a convincing win against Super Soul Sonics, the two time champs face off against Game, Blouses the number 1 team in the standings. This is the start of a tough three game stretch for Spring Street.
7. Manhattan Pride 2-2 With emotions running high last Sunday, Manhattan Pride put up a strong fight against 3rd Rock. Beating the Number 1 team in the the Power Rankings this week would give the Pride a much needed morale boost.
8. Ponzi Schemers 1-2 Coming off a bye week, the Ponzis face off against a surging 3rd Rock team. With point guard Adam controlling the ball and big man Cory dominating the paint, this team will have much to prove in their tough next two weeks.
9. Stay Movin' 1-3 With a narrow victory for this team last week and a phenomenal performance by point guard James, they face up against the winless Hoops! I Did It Again this Sunday.
10. Trick Candles 1-2 They're coming into this next game confident after notching their first win last week. Vinn is their star averaging 17.3 points per game, but their size down low is lacking.
11. Titans 1-2 With a team full of guards, it's no surprise that this team is lowest in the league with total rebounds. Losing a close game is never easy, and we can expect this team to come back strong against the Super Soul Sonics.
12. Super Soul Sonics 1-2 Their hustle and resilience is extraordinary. Spring Street blew them out early in Week 4, but they kept fighting until the end. Their tough spirits and great team basketball needs to be supplemented with better shooting and rebounding.
13. Indie Team 1-2 This team plays exactly as their name suggests: INDIVIDUALS! If this team expects to win games and be a serious contender in the playoffs, they need to look to each other, find the open man, and make better shot selections.
14. Money Team 0-3 This team has lost all three of their games, but none in blowouts. In fact, all the teams they've played are the top four in the league. The schedule gets no easier though as they face the Benedict Schemers this Sunday.
15. Hoops! I Did It Again 0-3 Coming off a devestating loss to the Trick Candles, this team is still searching for their first win. They face a Stay Movin' team in Week 5 who just got their own first victory.
16. Game, Blouses 3-0 Solid win this week against Money Team, but Lewis scored no points last week. I feel for anyone who drafted him in fantasy.

Week 4 Power Rankings

Line

ABC Hoops NYC is back in action this Sunday, so here are some Power Rankings. Check the League page to see what time your team plays. Benedict and Ponzi Schemers both have byes.

Rank Team Record Comment
1. Very Erratic Play 3-0 With a point differential of +53, they are blowing out their opponents. They've got a tough schedule in January though, so we'll see soon enough if they are for real or products of a soft schedule.
2. Benedict Schemers 3-0 They had a very impressive win against last season's runner ups in Week 3. These are clearly the best Schemers in the league.
3. Newport 2-0 So far so good on the guarantee of a perfect season, but we'll have to see how well they play against the Number 1 Ranked team in the league this Sunday.
4. Manhattan Pride 2-1 Tough loss against the Benedicts. Look for them to rebound in the new year.
5. 3rd Rock 1-1 Bye week in Week 3. They've got Manhattan Pride this week.
6. Spring Street 1-2 They're back. With their big man Herman returning to the court, these guys look reinvigorated.
7. Team X 1-1 Shorthanded in Week 3, it was too much to expect them to rally even against an overrated Game, Blouses squad.
8. Indie Team 1-1 Put them on the board! This team is beginning to gel, and they're starting to play well together. Will size be an issue down the road?
9. Ponzi Schemers 1-2 After a bloody Week 3 loss, one has to ask about this team's toughness. Although there's no denying the toughness of Mike Plude.
10. Money Team 0-2 Tough schedule for this very talented team. If they want to win it all, they have to start proving themselves.
11. Super Soul Sonics 1-1 Good team ball, but lacking some size down low. Last week proved they can't just attempt to hit 3s all day and expect a W.
12. Titans 1-1 Nice victory for this young squad in Week 3. Great team ball, but the lack of size might hurt down the road.
13. Trick Candles 0-2 They had a hard fought game against the Titans, but they need to close out games better.
14. Hoops! I Did it Again 0-2 After a Week 3 bye, we'll have to see how well they come out against Trick Candles after a three week layoff.
15. Stay Movin' 0-3 Like Trick Candles, they have a hard time closing out games. They'll face Indie Team in Week 4 and try to get that first win.
16. Game, Blouses 2-0 They beat Team X in the regular season, but Team X beat them when it mattered. They need to show something when it counts.
