#2 Chicago Lighting
Record 9-2
Last Game 111-99 win vs. Wranglers
Reason: Jordan and Franchize could be the best one two combo in the league. If they keep it up and get help from Payton, Domas, and Matrell they will continue to be a force in the east, it sucks they are in the same division as the Braves that would be a good finals match-up.

#3 St. Louis Crusaders
Record 8-3
Last Game 100-97 win vs. Sting Rays
Reason: Pancho and Strong are the heart and soul of this team, when they come out to play it is very tough to beat this team. Baez is a beast down low and can throw his weight around with anyone out there.

#4 Alaska Freeze
Record 6-5
Last game 91-90 win vs. Missiles
Reason: They would be at #5 but they beat the Missiles this week so I put them at number 4. JA is the main reason this team has won 6 games this year. The only difference from last year is that he has a great supporting cast in McGrady, Haynesford, Johnson and Wang. This team also has a different bench with both players coming to play now.

#5 Honolulu Missiles
Record 7-4
Last game 90-91 loss vs. Freeze
Reason: They should be #4 but they had a heart breaking loss today against the Freeze. With this team in the mix the West is no longer a one-team show, they will content with the Crusaders for the top spot in the west. Hutson and Jarrett are the two big factors why they are 7-4. If it wasn’t for those two they might be 4-7.

#6 New Jersey Kryp
Record 5-6
Last game 100-103 loss vs. Braves
Reason: Don’t let their record fool you this is a very dangerous team. Kidd, Sircumalot Jr., and Martinez are very good players in my mind. I feel they get over look a lot. With some key pick ups in the off-season this team could give to Braves are run for their money next year.

#7 San Diego Sting Rays
Record 3-8
Last game 97-100 loss vs. Crusaders
Reason: This team could be better if Shawn McGrady had someone else to help him. Goshleg could be that man. Once these two get some more playing time together, the Sting Rays could be a decent team.

#8 Orlando Warriors
Record 3-8
Last game 98-93 win vs. Grasshoppers
Reason: Any team that is going to play the Grasshoppers is going to get a win. They only good thing the Warriors have going right now is the draft coming up, they will get a high draft pick.

#9 Oklahoma Wranglers
Record 2-9
Last Game 99-111 loss vs. Lighting
Reason: The only reason they are at number 9 his because of Parrott, if it wasn’t for him they could be 0-11.

#10 Harrisburg Grasshoppers
Record 2-9
Last Game 98-93 loss vs. Warriors
Reason: They are bad, really bad. Dave and Drew get out now while you still can. You will have the number 3 pick, but I don’t think that will help you. Get out now!!!!
