I can’t speak for Bucks fans, but watching Brook over the first 4 games of the season or so, I was slightly concerned. He looked even slower than usual, and didn’t look overly great at protecting the rim (0, 0, 1, 1 blocks in the first 4 games of the season).

Since that point he’s gone on an insane defensive run, here are his blocks in his last 10 games:

8, 0, 4, 3, 2, 3, 7, 6, 2, 5.

He is now 2nd to only Anthony Davis (3.3) in blocks per game this season at 3.0 per game.

    It’s because coach wouldn’t play the drop coverage. Then all the players were like WTF and now they let Brook play drop again.

    Crazy that the brolossaince is still in full swing. Also AD has been a monster in the paint. I swear he intentionally blocks shots with his elbow

    Lopez is one of my favorite players - dude has had such a crazy career arc.

    Super happy he got to win a title and is contending for another.

    It was always brook that killed us in the playoffs vs the bucks, always brook.
