TEMPE, AZ: Week 6 Power Rankings | #TeamHashtag #Unbeatable?

WEEK 6 POWER RANKINGS

1. HASHTAG- The only undefeated team left will be hard to stay that way after the Bulls next week. They could lose their momentum coming off a bye week into a big game like this one. If Hashtag loses, they will drop the number one seed and will give up all their bragging rights going into the playoffs.

2. SPLASH BROTHERS- They were favored to win by 18 not 49! If it were me making an evaluation on this team, it seems they have the right mindset. If they can put up more than 120 points a game, it means they can score. But can they make stops when they need to against other teams that can score as well? They couldn’t against team Hashtag, so we will see when we get late in the playoffs.

3. BULLS- Clicking on all cylinders, with their point guard Mark’s game back to normal; it is really opening up everyone around him. If their whole team can get healthy by the playoffs, I wouldn’t want to face them come first or second round.

4. DOWNTOWN- Based on their free agents they picked up, it has changed the whole dynamic of their team. What a great win they got away with against Who’s Next to put them at the 4 spot on our power rankings this week. We shall see if they can gain some more chemistry in the next 2 weeks before the playoffs to maybe make a run at the title. Check out our weekly interview; this week with the team captain of Downtown Travis Woodard.

5. MONSTARS- The Monstars real team image is slowly fading away. Last season they had a totally different team compared to last years. They’re not as talented and well-rounded as last season so I’m wondering when Kenny and Franny are going to pull this team together as a unit and play like they should. Losing by 49 this week is a devastating loss but they know they can play much better as a team than that.

6. WHOS NEXT- If every one of their players have a good game they could be unstoppable with all the threats they have. Waylon Towns really needs to take over the games earlier if who’s next want to make it in the playoffs.

7. BAD GUYS- Is this another start of a really long losing streak. I still don’t believe this team hasn’t showed their full potential. The athleticism and effort is all there but their chemistry just hasn’t game together yet. It will be interesting if they make it out of the first round 0f the playoffs.

8. WOLVES-Wow! Finally a win but against a free agent team doesn’t show much in my opinion. With a new young point guard added to the roster, hopefully this team can get better rhythm and play much more with togetherness.

9. TEMPE FA- They’ll have one chance to win this and it will probably be against the Scottsdale free agents. Let’s go Tempe FA get the win that is well deserved!
