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.

Guys like Gobert and Embiid have anchored elite defensive teams with shit defensive backcourts.

If the fall out is this drastic from the Bucks losing Holiday, then we just have overrated Gianni’s’ defensive impact.

He's never been a true rim protector like they are anytime Brook is out their Drtg goes up drastically, he's a great help defender tho who erases others mistakes. His impact isn't overrated it's just they're getting used to a totally new system & he isn't a pure paint protector
