I'll agree that their success isn't only talent alone...however I'd argue that a lot of their motivation is internal (personal desires to play for the city after the way the season opened, wanting to prove their doubters wrong who left them unprotected, wanting to establish themselves as a star on a new team, or simply the excitement surrounding the whole expansion team thing). Their coach no doubt plays a part in providing additional external motivation, but I'm not sure you can say that their whole success is just good systems play, coach pressing the right buttons, and motivational speeches.
