    All of you know the way to do it by now. Just put a W by the winner. Although, with just two matchups left, give some analysis if you want to make it more entertaining.

    Semifinal #1
    A Winner- Chris Webber
    B Winner- Kevin Garnett

    Semifinal #2
    C winner- Vince Carter
    D winner- Steve Francis

    Webber and KG is a tough matchup to call. Both guys are so similar, and KG does have an inch or two in height on Webber. But Webber is a better ball handler, a better long distance shooter, and probably a better post man. Very close matchup, but I give it to Webber.

    Vince and Steve is also very close. Both guys overall are very explosive offensively, and share many of the same strengths/weaknesses. Neither are great defenders. But, I give the slight edge to Vince, as his height advantage would allow him to beat Steve in the post.

    Im gonna give it to Garnett, since he has more of a shot blocking presence and can keep Webber from makin shots with those long, long, arms.

    Stevie Franchise is going to the finals IMO because he is quicker than Vince Carter. The quickness factor will be the deciding factor because both of them can shoot, dunk, and have no defense.


    ------------------
    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    Webber and Garnett would be tough, but Webber would come out on top. As a side note, neither should have made it this far.

    I think Vince would beat Steve. Hey, if he can keep pace with a real raptor like on that Gatorade commercial, there's no way 'lil Steve would be beat him.

    Stevie shouldn't have gotten this far. Neither should have Carter. Garnett and Carter both have the right mix of size and ballhandling to beat these opponents.

    I'd have to disagree with the statement that Webber is a better ball handler, I personally give KG the edge. Garnett's ballhandling, couple of inches, shooting range, and quickness give him the edge.

    Francis shouldn't have gotten to the semi-finals. I'd think Iverson would beat him (and anyone). Carter's much stronger and bigger than Francis, it'd be a very quick game.

    Webber-Garnett would be excruciatingly close. Garnett is a tad more versatile, and maybe a little taller, but CWebb can definatley keep up with him, plus he's much more solid in the paint. Not to mention he has a go-to move.

    Vince-Steve, I hate to go against steve (expecially vs. Carter), but have to use logic here. Carter is just as athletic and explosive, yet is 4 inches taller.
