Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 9 3-6 17

Forget the regular season, if Abdul and Dan show up to playoff games, there will be some very unhappy high seeds. They’re ceiling is sky high, but they haven’t gotten near it too often this year. If they play some consistently good basketball, they have the size and firepower to give a lot of teams trouble.

Week 6 2-4 17

Their big 3 are very good. But they need to realize they also have some other solid players on their team. You can’t win games with 3 guys getting touches on offense. But nevertheless, you can’t count out a team with AMP and Goldberg.

Week 5 2-3 11

I don’t know what that effort was. They’re too good to be losing games by double digits, let alone 30+. Cannot let a guy hit wide open after wide open 3s, you have to feed your big when he’s playing again a dude that doesn’t even reach his shoulders, and Adrian, why you taking 14 shots? They need to play off of Abdul. I have no issue if he’s taking 30+ shots and Goldberg is touching the ball and they still lose, but to lose the way they did against a heavily undersized team, that shouldn’t happen.

Week 4 2-2 10

Man when Dan and Abdul play together, it’s a thing of beauty. They did however give up 72 to a Mingo-less Beirut group. I think they would’ve played some tougher defense if Jon was there, but still, cannot be giving up 70+ and consistently win - but when you have Abdul, anything is possible. Dude dropped the easiest 43 I have ever seen. He does it with so little effort and was extremely efficient. He puts so much pressure on defenses by either getting the ball in the basket or getting fouled and capitalizing from the line. 

Week 3 1-2 18

They have a good team, but they all have to show up before taking them seriously.

Week 2 1-1 13

A complete Cairo team is a scary sight: Abdul with one of the best big men in league by his side, frightening.
