CLEVELAND, Ohio - Boston's Isaiah Thomas says the Celtics underdog status has been great motivation.
For the No. 1 seed in the East?
That's quite a trick.
"They didn't give us a chance [against the Wizards)," Thomas said after Boston earned a conference finals spot opposite the Cavs. "They didn't give us a chance when we were down 2-0 to Chicago. We got the No. 1 seed, they didn't give us a chance.
"They don't ever give us a chance, and we just keep going; we don't care about what others say."
Nice try, Rodney.
