Can’t say I’m too big of a fan of either of these two teams. Team G looks super vulnerable on defense. Hard to know what to expect from Zion, but even if he’s there the pairing with Kat is a defensive nightmare. Perhaps you could say it’s a defensive nightmare for both sides though. Team H is honestly not that bad, but again, what to expect from the injury situation with KD? I actually quite like the team given that Jarrett Allen gets the bulk of the C minutes. Don’t love the Sabonis fit at C. Overall I think team H has more sensible lineups that can be played with team G having a bit too much duplication. There would be a ton of points scored both ways but Team H is more balanced IMO.
 
We've already seen the Kyrie and Durant show. And Zion off the bench will be a beast.
 
This would be the most fun series to watch I think. Exciting high scoring games. Both teams are good.
 
Both defenses are rough. I think G's offense would be better doe.

H can make a good defensive lineup though.

Put out FVV, Dejounte, Hart, KD, and Allen and that's decent defense that will function well offensively.

G can't even make a good defensive lineup
 
And having Zion is just plain weird to vote on. In my mind he's a no factor.

Maybe we will look back at this next year and think this team is much better than we thought because Zion stays healthy and actually contributes to sustained winning, but that hasn't happened yet and I would bet against it.
 
I'm liking H more and more after some more consideration. You could honestly bring both Sabonis and Kyrie off the bench. Many different ways to build an awesome lineup. Allen/Durant/MPJ/FVV/DJ might be my favorite. That's a pretty good defensive lineup. Haliburton is the redeeming player for Team G, but with too much diminishing returns on the wings with Book+Derozan+Ingram. Probably better off playing Keldon instead of one of those guys. I'd also consider myself a Zion optimist, but honestly Sabonis should be considered a better backup big in this exercise as he's guaranteed to play.
 
People really be overthinking things. Team G has ballers who will score at will. Good offense beats good defense all day everyday. Zion off the bench gg.
 
KAT spacing the floor for the mid-range gods to go to work with Haliburton distributing will be heavenly.
 
Putting Zion on the bench behind Ingram and DeRozan is kind of a self admission that you don't actually believe in him because a healthy Zion is head and shoulders better than either of those two....
