Week 5 Power Rankings
No previews this week, just Power Rankings. There’s no lockout at ABCHoopsNYC, and even when there’s scaffolding on the court, WE PLAY!
| Rank | Team | Record | Comment |
| 1. (↑1) | Manhattan Pride | 3-1 | Huge statement made by this team last Sunday. These guys took care of the defending champs last week and look to do the same to the runner-ups from last year this week. If they can do that, they are definitely the odds on favorite to win it all. |
| 2. (↓1) | Team X | 3-1 | There goes their undefeated season. This team looked out of synch last week as they dropped their first loss of the season to the Pride. The schedule gets no easier as they face a well-rested Brooklyn Hustlas squad. |
| 3. | Manhattan Pride | 2-1 | Pulled off a close one against the Spring Champs this week. No reason to put them anywhere but #3, but they've got a big matchup this week. The biggest question on this team is whether William Modeste will show up to a game on time. |
| 4. | Ponzi Schemers | 3-0* | Undefeated? Are you serious? Make no mistake, they're here and here to stay. Adam Murphy continues to score and shoot and shoot at will. With a tough player in Alex, has Adam finally found the Batman this Robin has needed all along? |
| 5. | Real Ready | 1-1 | Playing without James this week hurt the team, but we've all seen what Richie is capable of, he'll drop 40 on you, so watch out. Seriously, watch out (also watch out for traffic). |
| 6. | Wen Bo | 1-2 | The Spring Champs are back although they've dropped two straight, we don't see much change in terms of talent. Don't overlook their low ranking just yet, it's been a long lay off. |
| 7. | Kaman His Pants | 0-3 | They look good, they really do, but they're missing something. With a few weeks under their belts (playing together for the first time), we see them coming back strong for the second half of the season. The biggest question on this team is whether Allan will show up to a game on time. |
| 8. | 3rd Rock | 0-3 | Solid effort week in and week out usually leads to wins. The ball just hasn't rolled their way. 3rd Rock looks to rest and recover this weekend and come back strong and prove HARD WORK PAYS OFF. |
| 9. | Anthony Wiener's Wiener | 0-3 | Tons of talent on this team but the pieces have yet to fit. It's been a tough first half for the Weiners, but look to them to make a second half push to get into the playoffs. Once this team starts gelling, they will make noise. |
| 10. | Game, Blouses | 2-0 | Nope. |
*Ponzi Schemers has won on a forfeit as well as received extra points during Week 3 for their opponent coming in late.
