Week 7 Power Rankings

10. Dzwonek (-)
It’s going from bad to worse for team does Dzwonek as a winnable game against team McNamara slips away from them. Some really poor shot selection is really shooting them in the foot and they are clearly wasting away possessions. However with star guard Stevie D struggling, it’s not clear who should be taking the majority of the shots for this team. The one thing we know is that they are about to play team teDuits and inevitably be 1-7.

9. Donaruna(-1)
Team Donaruma has quite frankly fell off the map recently. They we're looking really strong in the middle of the season despite losing, but sadly the losing has continued and the performances haven't improved. The addition of Nick Jussaume was one which many thought could turn this team into contenders, hasn't done much for them at all. I think it's becoming more an more evident by the day that Evan Biegel was what made this team tick.

8.Cianci (-1)
 Team Cianci came out second-best this past weekend with a loss against the strong team Strauss. It’s obvious this team has been struggling, due to a lack of attendance, but for the most part the players that show up haven’t looked too bad. My gut feeling is when playoffs roll around in the team shows up team Cianci will be a lot better than the regular season self. They are facing a brutal 7:30 tip off the upcoming week so we wouldn't be shocked if they're forced into a forfeit without people showing up to play. 

7. Mcnamara (+2)
Team McNamara now somehow has three wins and is in a lot better position than many would’ve guessed before the season. When you look at their roster they don’t really have a name that sticks out at you.  This team is full of grinders that make you work for every bucket and often this works in rec. In almost all their games this season they’ve been able to stick around and avoid getting blown out, but I believe their luck will run out if they get a tough first round match up in playoffs.

6. Kelly (-2)
Team Kelly was undoubtably one of the more talked about teams earlier in the season due to some unexpected success, but as time has gone on, there seems to be a belief around the league that this team is too young to make a real run. Without Sammy this team struggles to match up against other teams top scorers having recently let Bradley and Simon score 28 and 25 points respectively. Even when Sammy does show up, he is consistently underwhelming and hasn’t been as big of an addition as many thought going into the season.

5. Azivino (+1)
Team Anzovino has come out and surprised everyone by beating the high flying team Bonaventura. This win would catch a lot more eyes if senior Derek Caruso had gotten up in time for his game but instead Will Bordes stole the show. As we get farther and farther into the season and really start to understand how serious each team is, we’ve been able to figure out that team Anzivino is one of those teams where you really have no clue how they'll do. 

4. Jarboe (+1)
After a string of questionable results, team Jarboe was able to get their season back on track with back to back wins.  All confidence in this team was lost after a run of losses earlier this year, but with a 4-3 record and a easier game against team Cianci on the cards for this week they are in a solid position. They've been able to win even without Brendan, so we can only expect good things for team Jarboe once they get their star back.

3. Bonaventura (-)
We can put this past week down as a mulligan. They played by far there worst game of the season and without Derek, their offensive game looked very dry. They've had a great season otherwise and thanks to some other convincing results I won't move them down quite yet, but this is without doubt a wake up call. We haven't heard a whole lot from Ryan Bernard recently, is he returning to the terrible preseason form he was in which everyone knew and loved?

2. Strauss (-)
Team Strauss keeps quietly going about there business. There was little doubt in their performance against team Cianci. It's been a while since they've been tested but a matchup with team Anzivino will be a good test for them this week. One thing they should be recognized for is there incredible attendance record. Most teams in the rec league struggle to get 7 players showing up each week, but team Strauss has always got fresh legs.

1. teDuits (-)
7 weeks in and 7 wins for team teDuits. The look ever more convincing by the week and it's unclear who can stop them. They're far too well rounded and with 5 more wins, they'll have a undefeated regular season. With their sights set on the championship, the question becomes, who can stop them?
