Isaiah Thomas: We got the No. 1 seed, they didn't give us a chance. We just keep going

The Celtics have been considered the underdogs against Bulls and Wizards even if they have finished the regular season in first position in the Eastern Conference.
And Boston will continue to use that as motivation.

Per ESPN, "They didn't give us a chance [against the Wizards]. 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," Thomas said after scoring a team-high 29 points in Monday's Game 7 triumph over Washington.

"They don't ever give us a chance, and we just keep going; we don't care about what others say."

Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals is Wednesday night at TD Garden.

"I've never been to the Eastern Conference finals so this is something off my bucket list," Thomas said. "We gotta get ready for the defending champs, we know that. The good thing about it is we've got home-court advantage, so we're going to be ready on Wednesday to try to take care of home court. We know it's going to be tough but, at this point, anything can happen, we really believe that."
