#1 Titans (8-1): Undefeated no more. It's not that the
Titans looked bad in their loss against the Spartans
this past weekend, it was that they weren't close to
their usual dominant selves. Every team is entitled
to an off week. #2 Triple Threat (7-2): As the only other team to lose only once (the other loss came via forfeit), the Triple Threat can potentially grab the #1 seed this week with a win over Titans. Having 2 of the 3 best players on the court may prove to be the difference for TT. This is the game of the season, folks! #3 Spartans (6-3): After starting the season 0-2, the Spartans have been dominating the league with arguably the top defense and great team play. Having strong interior depth and a PG who keeps everyone involved has been key to the turnaround. #4 Humans (6-3): Humans get the unfortunate bump here to #4 not because they've been playing poorly per se. It's just that the other contenders having been playing so well. Humans are still the most talented and deep team in the league. If they continue to bring it together, they will also be the scariest come playoff time. That loss to Force is also hard to forgive. #5 Basketballers (7-2): They've been winning games, but they haven't looked dominant or inspired. It's almost as if they're coasting until the playoffs start. The problem is it's hard to just "turn it on" like a switch whenever they want to. #6 Money Crew (6-4): They're starting to gel at the right time and they've been doing their homework on the competition with weekly scouting excursions at Bayside. Best of all, talented guys who were quiet early, like Takseem, Rishi, and David are starting to step up and give Muneeb help. #7 Hitmen (5-4): One of the best comeback teams in the league, but unfortunately for Hitmen, they've been behind by double digits in nearly all their games. A young Shaq used to carry his teams to the Finals and beyond on a regular basis. Can a young Lamba do the same? #8 Dream Team (3-6): Looked good in their near-victory over the higher-seeded 'Ballers, except in the last few minutes when things fell apart. Late game collapses have been commonplace for this team that's led by the talented Ramani brothers. Friday's game vs. SWAT for the 8th seed will be a huge test. #9 SWAT (3-6): Holding the crucial tie-breaker over Dynasty, SWAT needs to defeat Dream Team as well to salvage any hopes of making the playoffs this season. SWAT came into the season surrounded with lots of hype but it's been nothing but smoke & mirrors so far. #10 Dynasty (3-6): In a season that started with so much promise, things quickly turned south for a talented Dynasty squad that never found its groove. If the team fails to make the playoffs, will it be time to tear it down and start over? #11 Force (1-8): Believe it or not, despite the horrible season Force has had, they still have a shot to make the playoffs with one or two more victories because they get an automatic win in their upcoming scheduled game vs. the Tigers. |
