NBA2KLeague Week 1 Power Rankings.



NBA2KReport





Well the first week of NBA2KLeague action was stacked with entertaining games and heartbreaking moments.

I think that everyone who reads this automatically remembers Warriors vs.Knicks and Celtics vs. Wizards.

But at the end of each week there are some winners and there are some losers. It's only the beginning of the regular season so i think that the losing teams should not be nervous. Just regroup and move on. There is a lot of gaming that awaits us throughout the summer.





POWER RANKINGS





1.76ers GC (1-0)

76ers GC

Your pre-season champions reign continues with another victory in the regular season opener. Their matchup vs. Bucks had 4 out of 5 of their player sitting on double digit points.

Radiant got himself a Double-Double with 18 pts. and 12 ast.

ZDS dropped 27 pts. in the quiet comfortable victory ovcr the Bucks 80-71.

If Phillies will be streightening up their late game decision making they are going to be incredibly tough to beat.

2.CLTX Gaming (2-0)

Mel East



oFab and his team of outstanding performers are racking up wins with an amazing style of their own. Having to play two games, they managed to pull a double comeback victories.

The #2 pick not only led his team to a double W week, but also mnaged to pull some incredible stats. In their W over the Wizards, oFab pulled an outstanding performance getting a double-double with 18 pts./23 ast. while on top of that, his teammate Arsonal got himself a 38pts. game. They've won it with a great 8-0 run in late 4th to secure the W.

Later on, they had to take on Raptors Uprising in a tough game.

Rightfully they already claimed the nickname "comeback kids" of this league, and turned the game into the overtime where they got their second W of this regular season.



3. Blazer5 Gaming (1-0)

Blazer5 Squad

The RIP city squad haven't had the best of their games when it comes to the performance. But as their OneWildWalnut said: "The win is a win."

MagicGaming did put up a fight against them that many may have though they wouldn't. And that to my believe was the biggest problem for Blazer5. Underestimation of their opponent can play a bad joke. But fortunately to them their skill and a regrouping in the Half time did change the direction of the match and they secured their W.

Mama Im Dat Man had himself a Double-Double with 18pts./14ast. and Dat Boy Shotz had a great game getting a 24 pts. and 9 reb. Being only one board away from the Double-Double.

4. Mavs Gaming (1-0)

Mavs squad.



Your pre-season favs. led by Dimez showed an anihilation over Raptor Uprising(75-53) They were dominating the game through every quarter. Locking up Toronto out of their game and making them pay for every mistake.

Dimez was playing the game of assists, that he likes getting 10 pts. / 15 ast. Double-Double for himself.

His teammates also were performing great, with BallLikeSeem and Devillon both getting 16 pts. and Dayfri with the 28 pts./11 reb. Double-Double.



5.Kings Gaming.

KingsGuardGG squad.

Many put Kings low but because of their close game losses in the pre-season.

Once again they had a close game vs. Jazz but I decided to put them high on my PR, as i saw great progress in their game. Mootyy had a great performance, as well as cowboyxcollazo and wothingcolt. Together guys had 55 points out of 68 in their W vs. Jazz. Timelycook had 9 points but had an amazing clutch shot. and had 10 ast. + 4 stl. being just a point away from the Double-Double.

Worthingcolt had a Double-Double with 15 pts./14 ast.

Mootyy had 18 pts. 4 ast.

Cowboyxcollazo had 22 pts. and 5 ast.

6. Jazz Gaming (1-1)

Jazz Squad

The Jazzmen ha da tough nailbiter loss to the Kings to start Week 1, but later that evening the had to face Cavs Legion. Tough start of the regular for them.

In the game versus the Kings they also showed a great match, just haven't had that last push. Against Cavs though I saw angry and hungry for the W Jazz. Andthey got it (59-51)



Amazing defensive performance in the first half of that match let them lock HoodIsGlitchy and get i comfortable lead. Later in the game they held to it and successfuly gained their first W of the regular season.

Yeah I Compete , Smoove and MrSlaughter01 were all key in that W, as they combined had 50 points out of 59 that Jazz scored.

Yeah I compete got 18 pts. and 9 ast. and was 1 ast. off the Double-Double

Smoove got 18 pts. 2 ast. 2 reb.

MrSLaughter01 had 14 pts. and 7 reb.



7.PistonsGC (1-0)

PistonsGC Squad

The Detroit's squad headed into the regular season with a goal to improve their game even more and to become a contender. They had a close matchup against the HeatCheckGaming (70-62) and the game wass going all over the place in the first half. the same happened in the second half but Pistons tighten up their defence in the clutch and had a 21-12 win in the 4th quarter.

If xxsplashkingxx would've got 2 more points then the whole team woulde've been on double digits but he racked up 8 points, shooting 3/9. Needs to improve on that.

iinsanitty had 22 pts. 4 ast.

Lets Get It Ramo had a 16 pts./11 reb./5 ast. Double-Double.

Im So Far Ahead had 11 pts. and 8 ast. 2 assists off the Double-Double.

8. Knicks Gaming (1-0)

Knicks Squad.

Knickerbockers had an amazingly entertaining match vs. Warriors. They mNot only that. I demand you go andwatch that match. It was intense. Especially the clutch. Last 10 seconds. Buzzer beater with 2 sec. left on the clock. The atmosphere was fantastic as the home team was victorious.

Goofy757 had a great game with 28 pts. and 9 reb.

Iamadamthe1st had a Double-Double with 18 pts./14 ast.

YeyNotGaming and NateKahl both got 12 pts. for Knicks Gaming.





9. Cavs LegionGC (0-1)

Cavs LegionGC Squad

Cavs were underperforming on the stange vs. the Pacers. Indiana looked like the found the way to lock HoodIsGlitch in the 1st Half and that led to Cavs struggling a lot in the offense. Later in the 3rd quarter they tried to go for the comeback and were kind of nearing it but could not find a way to cut 5 point deficite in the clutch and lost.

HoodIsGlitchy got a Double-Double with 11 pts./11ast. in his "off game"

Sick X 973 had 17 pts. and 7 reb.

Cavs need to find a way to implement more players in their offense.

10. Pacers Gaming (0-1)

Pacers squad



Pacers definetly did not think that matchup vs. Grizz gaming will be such a tough battle. They did perform good overall but could not catch up with the anger and determination from the Memphis squad.

As a whole Indiana definetly underperformed and was capable to do much more damage. I'll be waiting for them to get much higher on the rankings in the near future.

Swizzurk had a great game, making a Double-Double with 21 pts./14 reb.

TuckerLocksUp had almost a perfect game when it comes to shooting. He was 7/8 from the field but at the same tim he got 6 TO.



11. Grizz Gaming (1-0)

Grizz Squad

Well I think it will not be an over exaggeration if I say that Grizz Gaming are the "ultimate underdogs"

Nobody though they will win Pacers and against all odds they did. Somwhere they got luck on their side but at the end of the day their gameplay improve massively comparing to tip-off tournament.

AuthneticAfrican was their main force with 24 points and 7 assists

AYEThreat had 11 pts. and 1/1 from behind the arc, providing us with one of the most memorable moments of the week 1.



12. Warriors Gaming (0-1)

Warriors Squad

Warriors Gaming probably lost in one of the most beautiful ways possible. Their matchup vs. Knicks had already went to the "books" as on of the most entertaining matches of the season.

Unfortunately for Warriors, lack of concentation and poor shot selection in some moments cost them. But this is only the start of the season i think all ofthat will fix as the time will pass.

LYKaPro and Vert were their main performers.

Lyka had 19 points and 7 assists.

Vert had a Double-Double with 24 pts./11 reb.



13.Bucks Gaming (0-1)

Bucks Squad

Bucks had a tough match vs. early league favs. - 76ers GC. They fought desperately but it was not enough as they fell short and lost (71-80)

Bucks definetly need to improve on getting more people involved in the game as they lacked tromendously on that side.

If i would highlight someone it would be KinG PeroXide who got 41 points and 6 rebounds.



14.Wizards District Gaming (0-1)

Wizards District squad

After a short pre-season journey, Wizards were set to face CLTX Gaming in their first season game and were not projected to win this clash. They put up a decent fight against them though but lack of the concentration striked again as they lost the game to the 8-0 run in the late 4th quarter and could not seal the win.



BooPainter, Jin and DemonJT all had a solid performances.

BooPainter was nearing a Double-Double with 30 pts./9 reb. game.

Jin also had an influense with 22 pts. and 4 ast.

As well as DemonJT with 15 pts./6 ast.



15. Heat Check Gaming (0-1)

Heat Squad

The team from Miami suffered a loss to the Pistons in their season opener. The fact that the team was going back and forth through the match is commendable but it is certainly not enough to be a legitemate contender in this league. They will need to stabilize their game and find new ways to attack and defend in the late game situations that caused them a game this week.

Majes7ic and Hotshot were definetly on the brighter side of this game.

Majes7ic had a 19 pts. and 7 ast. game.

Hotshot had a 17 pts./7 reb./ 4 ast. game.





16. Magic Gaming. (0-1)

Magic squad.

Magic gaming had a bad pre-season and stepped into a cage with a beast in their first match of the season. They put up a decent permormance in the first half of their matchup against Blazer 5, but later on in the game,they just couldn't equalize and that was key in their loss.

I would suggest them sticking to the process of building up because the gameplay that they showed has definetly improved since the pre-season.

KontruL, NachoTrainer and marley213s all have had a decent match.

If they will continue improving in that direction they may become a playoff contender.

KontruL had a 23 pts. and 9 ast. game being just one assist away from the Double-Double.

NachoTrainer was nearly perfect from the floor as he shot 7/9, got 17 points and 3 assists.

marley213s had an amazing game where he got himself a Double-Double with 18 pts./13 reb./6 ast./4 stl./4 blk. nearly a 5x5 performance by the Magic Gaming talent.





17. Raptors Uprising GC (0-2)

Rators Uprising Squad

Raptors difinetly had an awfu calendar to start the season. First the face Mavs Gaming that are a title contender this season. And after that they had to face CLTX Gaming who are also extremely powerful.

In their first match vs. Mavs guys just never found their vibe. This was that type of games when nothing goes your way and you can do nothing about that. Raptors could not escape Mavs and should just forget about that match and move on.

Later that same day, Raptors show a great performancevs. CLTX but could not bring the matter to the end as they overheated in the clutch. Let the game go to the OT. And lost it there with no contest.

Raptors surely have what they need to become a contender team. But if I was their trainer I would emphasise on the defence and the late game situations.
