In 2 games without Damian Lillard, the Bucks have posted a 118 DRTG, good for 28th in the league (alien.top)

Just had to counter all those ridiculous posts early on blaming Dame for the Bucks defense as if it was solely his fault. Dudes not even the worst defender in the starting lineup

Just no idea why Griffin wants an aggressive trapping type defense on a team with so many older players.

Many teams have had good or great playoff runs after subpar/inconsistent regular seasons.

No team has won an NBA Title with less than 50 wins in the regular season since 1978. The Bucks want to win championships, not just "have a good playoff run".

You don't need to win a championship to be able to play "human chess" in the playoffs. And the number 50 is just a random number to begin with. Plenty of 50+ regular season wins teams had inconsistent regular seasons and plenty of teams with a worse record that beat "consistent" regular season teams with a better record. Last year being a good example of that.
