PCTI9 Final Storylines

With nine days to go, there are many storyline's that we will finally learn the answers to.  As with all my posts, it's not edited.

Battle of the Beasts: Kyle vs. Brent

After repackaging himself as a muscular 3-point specialist in PCTI8, Brent has come under fire for his lack of commitment this offseason.  He recently showed up to the tune up game in tip top shape, and is ready to re-claim his nickname.  The problem is Kyle truly is a beast, and looks to be in premier shape heading into PCTI9.

Advantage: Kyle

Mental Instability: Juice vs. The Ladies.

After a decorated offseason with two PCTI regional MVP awards, some whispers that he's the favorite for the PCTI9 MVP, and a dedication to his offseason regimen, in typical Juice fashion, he's let himself go down the stretch.  A recent hot streak with the ladies has his priorities out of whack, is down 12 lbs from his playing weight, and hasn't touched the iron in a month. 

Advantage: The Ladies.

Changing of "The Guard": Act/Beas/Spot/Juice vs. Team First.

For years, Act and Beas have battled for guard supremacy... With Spot close to claiming the spot, he came down with a knee injury and set himself back. Beas and Juice have had highly decorated offseasons, and the favorite (Actor) has battled knee injuries.  All will be on the same team, can they put the team first or will they create an internal competition?  Hops has quietly worked himself into the best shape of his life, and is coming off a great PCTI. Will the internal competition help him work alone to overtake all?

Advantage: Hops.

Abe's Re-Dedication: Abe vs. Women

Much to The Beastie Boys dismay, Abe re-dedicated himself to PCTI, and ended his relationship a few months ago.  History shows other players that do this find themselves putting in significant work on their craft, and yields even more significant results. 

Advantage: Abe.

Deuce's Reputation: Deuce vs. PCTI.

Going into his ninth year, no one has been more beloved and bullet proof from all criticism than the Deuce Man. In a surprising a few weeks back, a video leaked of Deuce training with Kyle, pledging his allegiance to The Beastie Boys and sending some psychological warfare to the opposition.  The days of him playing politics are over, don't expect him to be the king of the hill much longer.

Advantage: PCTI.

Record Supremacy: Brent vs. Danny and Juice vs. TP.

DTB is shooting for his sixth straight win, the last loss being the Kitten Debacle.  Him and Brent will be battling for top overall W-L record in PCTI.  In addition, the only two undefeated players, Juice and TP will be battling for a 3-0 lifetime record, and looking to build off both of their 8-2 overall W-L record.

Advantage: None.

Ben's Resurgence: Ben vs. Sabin.

This combo is oil and water... They don't mix, and Sabin showed his dedication to that by letting Ben fall to the bottom. A guy that averaged 22 ppg and 9.8 rebounds in Denver, 14 ppg and 6 rpg, and 13 ppg and 5 rpg in Cincy spiraled into the final slot.  Some of that might be the girlfriend effect, some might be Sabin's desire to always be the villain.  Wilson repped off three straight win's once detaching from the Sabin system, and Sabin picked up his first win opposing him last year.  Combined, they are 4-2 separated, and 0-4 together.  Sabin is coming off an MVP performance, and Wilson is coming off a defensive LVP performance.  This might be PCTI's top storyline.

Advantage: Sabin.
