Yes...
This is a 3some...
Because after all it is all about picking the better team.
And by this way we can also pick a bronze medal winner.

ONE LOVE's Case:
Offensive Philosophy
This team is a well-balanced offensive team. Starting with Kyrie Irving at the Point, fresh off the Championship run with the Cavs averaging: 25 points, 4.7assists and shooting 44% from 3's during the 2016 playoffs.
In the wings, we have arguably the best slashers in the NBA with the dynamic duo of Dwayne Wade (19 points, 4.7 assists) and DeRozan (23.5 points, 4 asssits).
In the middle, the ever reliable scoring machine LaMarcus Aldridge is paired with the experience of Andrew Bogut who is probably the best passing big man in the NBA today passing to Wade and DeRozan cutting to the basket is deadly.
In the 2nd unit, scorers galore starting with the dynamic Isaiah Thomas (22.2 points, 6.2 assists) running the point, flanked with proven scorers in Wesley Matthews and Joe Johnson.
Defensive Philosophy
Defensively this team is anchored by Andrew Bogut who in 2016 was the 3rd Best Post Defender in the NBA (DFG%, 50 games or more). Rudy Gobert ranked #1
Bogut, Aldridge, West and Chandler form a core of tough, experience post players who would not budge against anyone.
Dwayne Wade, DeMar DeRozan, Wesley Matthews and Joe Johnson are all solid wing defenders as well.
