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.

People blame Dame because they don’t want to admit Bud is a great coach. On the internet the only thing that matters is if you can make “magical adjustments” in the playoffs. Have good schemes that work every night and improving players every day apparently doesn’t matter. Yes playing that human chess match in the playoffs is cool to make Youtube videos about and watch but ultimately you won’t ever be in position to get to that point if you don’t form good habits and consistency in the regular season.
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.
This is so true not to mention you don’t instantly knew jerk make adjustments before you know if something doesn’t work or there’s a better option . This sub snd teams sub shit on 28/30 coaches : spo is like the only one immune in teams sub Reddit mostly .
