Which team would win in a 7-game series?

Team 2 4-0.

not that it changes much, but my vote would be team 1 with health garunteed

Could you please elaborate? Votes with no explanation are not counted.

Larry_Russell leads 4-3. First team to 5 votes wins. If no team has 5 votes after 48 hours, first team to 4 votes wins provided that the series isn't already tied at 4-4. 

Does the explanation on my first post here not suffice?

Sorry, just realized you had already posted your reasoning. My bad.

I voted for a sweep for team 2 because, although Team 1 is a really fun team (defensive juggernaut with Lillard completely free to do his thing), I think there would be some stagnation. Embiid and Garnett are an excellent defensive frontcourt and two very good offensive players, but I am not sure I see the offensive fit.

Team 2’s playmaking (Luka and Dirk) and off-ball mobility (Allen and Chandler) would result in an offensive juggernaut. Luka and Chandler is an incredible high pick and roll combo, and Allen would make that attack incredibly potent. Dirk is an all-time top 5-10 offensive player. I don’t think any defense, even one anchored by the great KG, could hold this team under 120 points or so. Defensively, I think Jrue and Chandler are the best possible combination to stop a Lillard-Embiid attack.

Crazily, I haven’t even mentioned Tatum, who is a great fit at 3 here.
