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.

It’s the same type of defense the Raptors kept playing last year, switch heavy and aggressive defense that leaves a shitload of open corner 3’s. It maybe made some sense when they were playing without a real center, but they kept doing the same shit even after trading for Poeltl. This yeah the defense is so much better because you’re actually letting good defenders stay in front of their man without scrambling around switching everything. Scottie in particular looks way better defensively now that they aren’t switching him onto faster guards out on the perimeter every possession.

I know the Bucks have some poor defenders, but switching and scrambling around when you have Brook and Giannis to anchor the paint is so stupid. Asking Beasley to be your POA defender is braindead.
