Full Court Press - Power Rankings (Week 11)
















Power Rankings:
1.) Tokyo (+1) - Solid win against a falling Weymouth team and they should hold onto the top spot with some favorable match ups in the next two weeks
2.) Las Vegas (+2) - With and addition of Duncan and Garnett, and Granger back in the line up, watch out for the Lizards to make a run at the top spot in the coming weeks
3.) Tijuana (+2) - this team is much better than the standings would indicate, look for them to make some noise against WEY and COL
4.) Colorado (-1) - Tough loss against Vegas bumps them down, but expect a rebound against Fitch.
5.) Montreal (-4) - Are they packing it in? After a terrible loss to Rakeville and the trading of their two best big men, one has to assume they're looking toward the future
6.) Bridgewater (-) - Keeps themselves in the middle of the pack with a win against Carolina, but statistically not much better than Fitchburg
7.) Rakeville (+1) - Took advantage of the match up against Montreal, and should continue to climb with Dublin and South Carolina coming up next
8.) Weymouth (-1) - How far we've dropped. With a tough few weeks ahead Weymouth really could go either way
9.) Fitchburg (+1) - Another loss keeps them low, but even worse play around them bumps them up.
10.) South Carolina (-1) - Two 3-6 losses in a row won't do much for your confidence. Could be an interesting match up with Peoria coming up next.
11.) Peoria (+1) - Apparently Rudy Gay, is the answer, and not John Wall.
12.) Dublin (-1) - So we have it, Dublin has overtaken Peoria as the bottom of the power rankings barrel. They have a "good" chance at breaking their newly set winless streak record unless they can get their other half of their roster back from injury

---------------

League Notes:

-Tim Duncan will start off the week in a Montreal uniform and on Friday is expected to suit up for the other side of the court. Las Vegas GM Charles Barkley has instructed his entire team to stop defending their new center so not to risk injury

-Peoria fans rioted in the streets after their 8-1 win over Dublin. No one seemed to care that the win came against a team with just 9 active players and it may end up costing them the top draft pick in next year's draft. Sources have said Peoria management isn't worried, and still feel confident they can get Shaquille O'Neal with the 2nd overall pick

-Sources say that Paul Pierce is on the block in Fitch, and that management would "highly consider" an offer that included 4 1st round draft picks. There have been no such offers reported yet, but one can only assume there will be soon.
