Chris Bosh (photo. Chris Gordaneer)Some people say 1-on-1 is geared towards guards, others say a guy with size who has any kind of handle will dominate. This was displayed in Round 2 of the Atlantic bracket, as Chris Bosh and Jamal Crawford’s matchup was the closest result we’ve had so far. And according to the readers’ votes (tallied through Monday), Bosh barely edged out Crawford.
Going into the divisional semis, here are the rules: Straight 1-on-1, make it-take it, games to 11 (by ones and twos), all hypothetical. The six division winners will advance to the finals, with two of them getting a bye, just like the NFL playoffs. Vote in the comments section to determine the second-round winners:
(1) Kevin Garnett vs. (5) Ray Allen
(2) Chris Bosh vs. (3) Paul Pierce
Round 2 voting:
Garnett 36, Calderon 2
Ray 23, Vince 15
Pierce 30, Marbury 8
Bosh 20, Crawford 19

(1) Kevin Garnett vs. (5) Ray Allen - KG. This one could really go either way. I think KG’s determination to win out weighs Ray Allens shooting advantage here.
(2) Chris Bosh vs. (3) Paul Pierce - Paul Pierce. Another good match-up. I think PP has the advantage with more speed, better handles, and a better shot. Bosh’s height advantage keeps it close, but PP pulls it out in the end.

I sure am glad I voted for Bosh last round…I thought it was pretty obvious and didn’t need to, but it paid off.
KG VS Ray-I bet this has already done in practice, if we want to know someone should just send an email and ask. I would give it to KG though, he can guard Ray better than Ray could guard him.
Bosh VS Truth-Probably would be one of the closest match ups in the tourny, I would give it to Bosh since he has just enough handle and range that his size advantage would pull through.

As much as I want Jesus to be there KG scares me and I honestly cant believe that if necessary he wont will the ball in. So I say its Garnett & his apprentice CB4. Now I kno the truth is nice but Im sorry Im a T dot native so I gotta vote for my boy although I believe he could beat the truth but it would be very close.

(1) Kevin Garnett vs. (5) Ray Allen….ohh, a good one, I will have to give it to KG, Ray might hit him from deep, but I think that KG will be able to stay with himi off the dribble. 11-10 for KG
(2) Chris Bosh vs. (3) Paul Pierce………Psquared should take the title on this one.
