If the Celtics have to use this tragedy to motivate themselves, then things are already lost. In the past, this team got up for the playoffs because it was the playoffs. They shouldn't need yesterday's events to get the juices flowing.
i understand what ur saying here, but i disagree with it wholeheartedly. how can the bombings not provide EXTRA motivation the team?! the celts will represent the city. when your leader is pierce, who has been here since day 1, and kg who "gets it', their motivation will be infectious!
the only concern would be if they are overly motivated and make careless mistakes bc they are trying so hard
