I think a lot of people misconstrue getting outplayed/beaten by a better team....for lack of effort. They just arent the same thing.

Every team in the league has good players. They are all paid to play their best, but even the best that ever performed in this league have off nights. Often when your best guys are having a bad night, so does the rest of the team....its why the best teams often lose 25-30 games a season.

That doesnt mean the losing squad was giving a lack of effort (those games are obvious but rare) it just means the other team is executing better on that particular night.
