Effort is overrated

[Scoe]

Every team gives effort, notice no one uses that word when you win, you know what wins clutchnes and touch which leads to production. To me the word effort is an excuse for losing. We gotta be better and its nota lack of effort its a lack of production. Whatsup with the constant misses from the ft line from guards too thats on the coaches too as much of the guys missing at the line.

We need another option other than Bouknight.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Hard disagree on this thread title.

Name me one championship team with below average effort/grit/whatever you want to call it.

Disagree.

As I said on another thread.

Loose balls.

UConn lunges and Nova dives. That's effort. That's going all out for the extra possession.

Difference between wanting to win and actually doing things to win.

Exactly, thats efficient effort EE, lunging is wasted effort WE. like you just said wanting to win meaning vs actually winning hence doing things to win. When we dive for loose balls what happens it goes off our hands, when we shoot 3s or go to the line what happens we miss, thus lack of production.

Was going to write a long treatise in defense of "effort" as relating to sporting outcomes, but it just seemed like too much um never mind.
