Food for thought.
This is the situation............
2nd round of the playoffs. The winner advances to the quarterfinals, loser goes home.
I hope that no team needs comments from the opponents to pump them up. If playing for the advancement of your team isn't motivation enough, then it's time to do some soul searching.
Also, motivation, adrenaline, etc, will only last for a few plays/series. After that, it is simply execution and talent. May the best team win (that does not always happen).
