Teachable moment from the NBA

The Seahawks are up on their current events.

At the start of this morning’s team meeting, players watched highlights from the Heat-Celtics NBA game on Tuesday night, and it was more than something to just pass the time.

Coach Pete Carroll used the game, which Boston won over new-look Miami, to teach a lesson to his team.

“What a good illustration of the best players not always winning,” Carroll said. “The guys who play the best win. No matter how loaded a team is, you still have to practice and prepare so hard.

“We have to always push.”
