Unfortunately, the prevailing memory of 2009 will be a final week collapse in which the team lost a season-worst six games, including getting swept by the woeful Nats, eliminating any hopes of getting back to the playoffs for the first time since 2005.

Your attacks are broken down into strikes (X) and grapples (right stick), but you’ll be executing tons of different moves off those two basic commands. Think of it like a family tree, where moves branch off of one another. For example, you can start with a strong collar and elbow grapple by holding down the right bumper and pushing the right stick up. Once engaged, you then move the right stick up, down, left or right and your wrestler with pull off one of the four moves assigned to that grapple. You’re given four different strong grapples with four moves off of each, meaning you’ll have 16 possible attacks whenever you lock up. Plus, each strong grapple features a strike (press X while locked up) and a submission move (click the right stick), bringing the total of 24 moves.

Given Granger’s recent injury history, I opted for the durable Bryant, despite my distaste for having to root for him. Sure, his name may be bigger than his slowly declining numbers these days, but Kobe still provides plenty of points, he’s a great FT shooter and will be a very good source of steals. There’s no real downside to owning Bryant, so I had to bite the bullet.

A shorter but sweet edition this week. It is that time of year where already in H2H leagues…the contenders are rising to the top. This early you may ask? Yes they are. Sure there are some surprises but everyone is looking for those now like they have it on radar. Stalkers of the players that will put them over the top now instead of what may come later.

Benching them is fine, but I’d really only advise doing that if you’ve got a full slate of guys to play and need to make choices about your evening’s roster. If you’re just looking to conserve games, you might as well gamble on these guys putting up the eventual monster game that gets them back in the groove. Remember, coaches are relying on these guys to shoulder the bulk of the load, so they’ll often do whatever they can to get them going.
