The NBA should be embarrassed by the contrast between this and the debacle of the weekend. ESPN+ had about 75% of the tickets on the US and a similar book in Canada had 84% on the Canadian team. If that was the NBA versus the World, the best the US would do is about 50% in the United States as if they can't play with commitment and pride, why should we support them.
Every Canadian player got booed by the Boston crowd, so loud it nearly shook the arena.
