Pick your 2020 Olympic Roster

[Shaqdaddy11]

My making a bet wont take away how absurd it was for you to try and rip the Canadian team by producing a ranking of a completely different team.

But, sure....if the projected roster plays in the games I'd wager they finish top 12.

Since when do you get a medal for finishing in the top 12? Are you new to the world of sports?

You're completely ignoring the fact that there are teams out there a LOT better than Canada too.

So top 3 finish for Canada over a 2 month avi bet. Deal?

Never said they would medal. YOU said "at least a dozen teams better".

You backtracking?

You said there were 12 teams that were better

No way does Canada even come close to a medal. There are at least a dozen countries better than them.

I disagree

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Never said they would medal. YOU said "at least a dozen teams better".

You backtracking?

And there are. I listed them.

How is this so hard for you to understand?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

You said there were 12 teams that were better

Yep. That is correct

 

[bksballer89]

Yes, easily.

Spain, Australia, Argentina, France, Serbia, Greece, Russia, Brazil, Italy, Poland, Croatia and Turkey to name the dozen outside of the USA

In fact, Canada is ranked 21st in the world.

So yeah, Canada probably won't medal.

That ranking mean very little.

If Canada bring the roster that I think they're going to then they are without a question better than Greece, Russia, Brazil, Italia, Croatia, and Turkey. Basically on the same level of teams like france and argentina

 

[dtgold88]

Great...so back what YOU said. I never said Canada would medal.

Never mind you based it on rankings from last year. Keep digging that hole, princess.

Not even close.

At best Canada makes it to the 2nd round in the Olympics

 

[dtgold88]

Yep. That is correct

So are ya gonna back this or not? what are we betting?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Great...so back what YOU said. I never said Canada would medal.

Actually the rankings are current, not from last year.

Helps to pay attention

Bit of light reading in case anyone disagrees

Is this light reading from 2020, too, even though top one says 2019 in the link?

Please never change.

That "there are at least a dozen countries who are better".

Well, princess?

So a team full of NBA players isn't better than teams like Brazil, Italy, Turkey, and croatia?

There ya go, sweetheart.

You gonna back this or not?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

That "there are at least a dozen countries who are better".

Well, princess?

Sure. I've given my proof there are at least 12 teams better.

Other than your fantastic opinion, where is yours?

You mean below average NBA players?

I think i'll take a team like Spain, Italy and even Croatia against an all star lineup of Corey Joseph, Khem Birch, Dwight Powell and Chris Boucher
