Eddie House on why the Boston Celtics should play with a chip on their shoulder this season

The Celtics have a potentially massive distraction on their hands that could linger for the entire season.

Caught up in the mess of a complicated scandal that will see Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka suspended for the 2022-23 NBA season, the team’s players will have to see their 2022 media day proceedings focused on their coach’s unfortunate misdeeds dominating the news cycle right now.

Instead of talking solely about how they plan to get past the roadblocks to a title they ran into in the NBA Finals, or what they have added to their games in the meantime, the Celtics have a potentially massive distraction on their hands that could linger for the entire season.

Former Boston sharpshooter and current NBC Sports Boston Celtics broadcaster Eddie House believes his former team’s players have all the motivation they need, however, to fuel their next banner pursuit.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the 2008 champ has to say about today’s team and what the players need to do.
