Yes, we played poorly.
But how can any of us sit here and say "we lost because the players did not try".
I accept loses because on that given night the other team played better.
I never take a loss because "our players did not try"
They may have looked bad, they may have not boxed out on D boards, guards may
have shot poorly, JC did not play well.....those are physical things we can see via the "eye test".
None of us can see what was in the players heart last night.
I wish we'd stop blaming loses on lack of effort. That's why they play the game.....
to see who is playing better on any given nite. Last nite StL played better.
When we beat StL in a couple weeks will it be because we played better or because StL just wasn't trying?
