Week 3 Power Rankings

No previews this week, just Power Rankings.

Rank Team Record Comment
1. Manhattan Pride 2-0 After losing in the championship game last season, this is a team on a mission.  They avenged their championship loss in Week 1 and handled an athletic Indie Team in Week 2. Target is definitely on their back.
2. Very Erratic Play 2-0 This team is the first ever in ABCHoopsNYC history to not only play with four players the entire game, but win!  This new team to the league looks to make some noise.
3. Benedict Schemers 2-0 Can you do more with less?  After breaking from the Ponzis, the Benedicts look extremely powerful and they have personally guaranteed a perfect season. 
4. Team X 1-0 Don't sleep on these guys.  They have a ring under their belts and are a perennial contender for the chip.
5. Newport 1-0 After going winless in the Fall, this team is coming back with a vengeance loaded with new talent.  They have also guaranteed a perfect season.
6. Ponzi Schemers 1-1 After a monster Fall season, the Ponzis’ early first round exit in the playoffs showed that they had a lot of work to do.  These guys have lost a lot of core pieces to the Benedicts, but have also added a ton of size and speed.  Captain Adam Murphy too has guaranteed a perfect season.
7. 3rd Rock 1-1 This is a much improved squad.  After losing five straight in the Fall, they went on a two game winning streak that was cut by a one point loss to Newport.  This is a reenergized squad that gets better each week.
8. Spring Street 0-2 Although they are currently winless, we gotta give the defending champs some love.  Their big man Herman was out last week due to a nasty lip injury, but reports say that he’s fine and should be back in no time.  Once he’s back, this is still a very dangerous team.
9. Super Soul Sonics 1-0 Impressive win by these guys.  They play great team ball and will be tested this week by Very Erratic Play.
10. Money Team 0-1 This is a very intriguing team.  Very talented and athletic inside and out.  Give them a couple of weeks of gelling with each other and we’ll see them up on this list.
11. Indie Team 0-1 Tons of individual talent, however, playing as a team is definitely something that needs work.  Just like Money Team, we’ll see them up on this list soon enough.
12. Hoops! I Did It Again 0-2 I like their team play and don’t be fooled by their record.  They had a tough early schedule and kept up with the best of the best of this league.  They’ll climb in this ranking.
13. Titans 0-1 Young squad that will learn a lot playing in this league.  Quick guards and if their shots start sinking, they will hang with the best.
14. Trick Candles 0-1 After taking the fall season off, this team showed some rust in their opener.  Look for them to bounce back this week.
15. Stay Movin' 0-2 Tough loss last week.  They need to play better team ball and make sure only five of their players on the court, not six.
16. Game, Blouses 1-0 This ranking is appropriate for their performance in the playoffs.  Same ole story with this group.
