It's very rare that we see every team in the division be able to make a push for the chip and wholeheartedly believe it. Nobody is out of the race, but these are the current power rankings as of 5/23
1- Space Curry 4-0
Space Curry has been on a tear this season. WIth the addition of Zian, they seem to be unstoppable. Constant full attendance + great team play has kept this team perfect so far.
2- Gaza 3-0
Khalil has put a special squad together. His new addition ibrahim seems to be a kawhi-like player and have no emotions and no hesitation on any shot, and Nas has been on a tear this season. They're clicking on all cylinders so far this season.
3-Swamp Dogs 3-2
The biggest team in the league. Safaraz has brought his FDNY guys to CBL and they are a force to be reckoned with. They're a matchup nightmare for anyone, but lets see if they can get by the next few weeks without Johnny.
4- Khair Akhs 2-2
The Akhs are constantly undersized in their matchups, but when you have the best scorer in the league, it doesn't matter. Zaid is coming off another 30 piece this week, and the Ali/Adnan duo make their presence known inside every week even if they are guards. This team plays hard for 40 minutes so you can never sleep on them.
5- Al-Asdiqaa 1-3
To start off the 1-3 teams, Al-Asdiqaa seems to be in it every game. WIth the addition of Belal, it gives them another slasher who can free up space for the shooters on this team. They arent to be messed with, Saleh can always find a way to get his guys to compete.
6- Caliphs 1-3
Last seasons champs have started off slow. Mainly due to attendance and injury, we fully expect this team to turn it around. With the trio of Safwan, Josh, and Numairy they can always find offense. Seems to me like a certain Finals MVP is almost healthy too, with just enough time to make a late season push. Captain Yusef will have his team correct.
7- Trey8 1-3
Another team that is 1-3 but is always in the game. They have a lot of guys stepping up when it matters, but the biggest jump we have seen from this team is Hamzah, who has come into the season with a bag and puts it on display every week. A little more consistency nd a little less use of the word Wallah and this team can go places.
8- Team Name 1-3
The only thing stopping this team from being contenders is attendance. If Soeb, Hani, Bronzo, and Manny are here every week, this team can be favorites against anyone. But that seems to be the case every season for these folks. Lets see if Soeb can get the troops to show up more consistently and make a late season playoff push.
