Which team is Shai suiting up for?

That’s the team that wins.

Crazy how deep OKC is when you look at it like this. I think I'm taking them because of the bigs.

OKC due to team Canada lack of size

He plays for both teams.

wiggins, eddey, brooks are great defenders. canada can replace someone with birch, brissett, boucher. if they get bubble murray canada can win.

It depends really on how Murray plays. If it is like he played at the Olympics then definitely OKC. Though Edey playing definitely helps.

You guys cant be serious. OKC trains together. Theyve played hundreds of games together. This isn't even close they would win by a landslide.

In a hypothetical world where there are two Shais and two Dorts, I made the silly assumption that both teams had an equal amount of on court experience together.

But they couldnt. NBA has 82 game seasons plus preseason and postseason. Idk how many games FIBA has but it aint that.

OKC, easily. Chet and JDub are better than anyone on Team Canada.

Both of those guys are sometimeish players / we put Brooks & Wiggins on Jdub and be perfectly fine.
Team Canada wins and it isn't even really close

I am not sure why you are setting such a hard line on the believability of the teams having equal floor times together over having identically skilled clones of two players. Maybe in this world, FIBA teams compete in professional leagues year round.

Impossible.

Canada’s depth makes it seem closer than it actually is.

OKC has more top end talent and fits together way better.

This is a pretty good thread for finding out who understands how basketball works.

OKC is an elite team especially defensively. A well oiled machine that would've destroyed France

It would be a close matchup. The key factor would be which Murray we get, and then, who guards JDub/Chet and how well they do.
OKC has the higher end talent, Canada has the deeper team. In a 1 game elimination, I'd take OKC, but it's almost a coin toss, I'd give them -1.5 odds.
