Morning sports update: John Wall says ‘it’s not a satisfying season’ after Game 7 loss
The Celtics are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals, but first, they await their fate in the 2017 NBA Draft Lottery Tuesday night.
John Wall says Wizards season wasn’t ‘satisfying’ after Game 7 loss vs. Celtics: Wall was likely disappointed with his own performance during Game 7 considering he shot just 8-of-23 from the field and 1-of-8 from three-point range on his way to 18 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds.

Celtics seeking validation against Cavaliers in East finals: “We know it’s going to be tough, but at this point, anything can happen, and we really believe it,” Thomas said. “They didn’t give us a chance in this series. They didn’t give us a chance when we were down 0-2 in Chicago. We got the No. 1 seed, and 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.” (Boston.com)

Falcons coach Dan Quinn knows what ultimately caused 25-point collapse in Super Bowl LI: “The guys were gassed,” Quinn said, via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We had never played in the 90s (snap count). We were not traumatized at all. You could tell there was nothing left in the tank. They would come to the sideline in the fourth quarter and nobody was talking because there was nothing left.” (WEEI)
Bill Belichick details his ‘less is more’ philosophy on coaching staffs: “I’d rather have fewer people doing more work than more people doing a little more work. As long as everybody is busy, as long as everybody feels productive, they feel good about what they’re doing and they feel like they’re contributing; I think when people have lag time and kind of not enough to do, that leads to getting distracted and complaining or being less productive. So even though you have more people, sometimes less work gets done.” (ESPN)
