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.

Yea the coaching is bad and all, but it’s clear that Giannis is just overrated as a defender. He’s not this all-world guy that can anchor a defense.

Take away his defensive savant PG and replace him with a defensive minus and it all goes to shit. Even guys like Gobert, Embiid, etc, have produced good defensive results with shit defensive backcourts, yet Giannis has this untouchable reputation on that end.
