@@S4Y3MJ4Y it's a bit early and there is some cause for concern. How many times have you seen all their starters (together) on the court? That's a big deal because with one of their starters missing, the Celtics are beatable.

@@TheOllieBear What gave you that impression?

@@venomousgamer4205 is there even a basis for concluding that 🤔

@@KariConn-v3d That makes the game with the Nuggets more interesting since both teams are coming off a loss

@@I.C.Y.U.N.V.me2 don't judge a book by its cover

@@kiwejames5080 isn't that how it's supposed to be? It wouldn't be fair to judge people/things that we haven't seen or know about

Put some respect on the 👑 King Bron . @ Lehaterkiwejames

@@Hoonicron umm not going to happen

@@Hoonicron he definitely will get a chance to start. The reasons Embiid is starting are he spaces the floor with his 3 point shooting. He's also a tougher match up for Jokic/Wembenyama

@@Hoonicron AD is a starter in Team USA's second game

@@StevenC32 high expectations for this team. They're being compared to the 1992 team.

@@plicorp I think the 2024 team are as good if not better than the 1992 team in terms of skills, but the rest of the world is much better than the international world was in 1992 so the games are more competitive than they were in 1992.

@@StevenC32 yes. If they win by a point, however, the argument that they're a better team than the 1992 team will not stand. While the rest of the world has started to catch up, this version of Team USA is still head & shoulders above the competition.

@@plicorp As far as I am concerned a Gold Medal is a Gold Medal regardless how you win it. I am concerned more about the final result instead of the process. 5 more wins equals a Gold Medal.

@@StevenC32 that's not how most of us see it. You're aware of the comparison. The players themselves are aware of it. The fact that they had a sizeable lead and still benched 2 all stars, says it all

I believe both sides were allowed to be more physical.

@@plicorp More pfysical and consantly making fouls is not the same. Criteria wasn’t the same for Jokic and Edwards, that’s for sure.

when you get absolutely blown out by 30 points it's impossible to put the blame on the referees or anything else. they just got outplayed by the wolves

@@gabriel2234 I wasn’t saying anything about the result. Criteria wasn’t same and it was obvious.

@@barshoon I am sorry but I have to agree with Gabriel here. Your judgement might be clouded because you're obviously a Nuggets fan. You can check ESPN or even TNT. You won't hear any analyst saying they thought the referees did a bad job. While if you search the Knicks - Pacers game, you get a handful of them saying the outcome may have been affected by bad calls. You don't even hear Malone & Jokic bring up the referees.
