Giannis is having a crazy season

Brook Lopez's defense this season is elite elite. There's no getting around it. He deserves DPOY. The problem with narrative based debate is it doesn't reflect reality. Anyone who has watched the Bucks play this year knows this. As unlikely as it sounds he's playing the best defense of his life in 2023.
he’s certainly a great defender…however.. weaponizing his defense to desperately attack his teammate because his teammate is simply better than the euro cac you’re a groupie of is sadly what a lot of these gimmick posters have reduced the conversation to …shameless in the content they produce …so here we are
Both he and Jrue's defense has been on some next level shyt this season. You even have the likes of Jevon Carter who's in the top percentile for defensive matchups.
That's how stacked they are on defense.
This is why it pains me to see all these Casuals make a big deal out of Giannis' defense this season when he's barely used anything in the tank on that end of the floor. All the role players have stepped up and taken that burden away from him, allowing him to focus on offense, particularly when Middleton was out. Anybody that has watched the Bucks regularly this season would be able to tell you this. It's just some folks have a hard time getting their heads around it because they're working on the preconceived notion he's been elite at both.

nikka why are you this fukking weird …. I’m literally on vacation enjoying life, and you’re in this thread talking to yourself over the course of days begging for my attention, because ….the bucks lost a game for like the 2nd time in month? 
And that means Giannis isn’t having a great season? ….Please get a fukking life…I’d put your retarded ass on block again but then the board barely makes sense cause half the responses are people responding to your autistic musingsAll that energy to throw shots in multiple threads when you perceive things are going your way, but the moment when you can't manipulate shyt and lie, all that energy dissipates. Now you're vaguely throwing out this 'Giannis is having a great season' nonsense like you damn well know this is about you trying to make out like his defense has been the nucleus to the Bucks success on that end this season, when it couldn't be further from the truth.
This is what happens when you try to bullshyt over and over and think nobody will pull you up on it.

I don't know why you keep trying to emphasize this shyt when Brook is the team's main rim protector and defends the 2x as many shots at the rim as Giannis does. Brook is consistently defending the best players driving/finishing at the rim, whereas Giannis is primarily used as a help defender in the paint, where he's allowed to pick his spots.
We just saw the Bucks give up 140 points (without Brook) with Giannis being the team's defensive anchor and the Pacers shot at 68% against him.
The majority of those players listed in that top-10 list are their team's defensive anchors and don't have the luxury of only defending shots when they want to.

Because it’s a “Giannis is having a great season” thread …the fact he’s leading the league in multiple defensive fg% alteration metrics speaks to the topic of the fukking thread …of course Brook is the primary rim protector, he’s a true center who you dont want trying to switch or guard in space and Giannis is one of maybe the best 2 or 3 switch/help/off ball defenders in the league (his defensive ppp against both the ballhandler and screener in pnr are both elite as well)…they’re perfect compliments and why MIL’s scheme is what it is ….I haven’t once diminished Brook’s role, but this isn’t a Brook thread….you’re the only one in here pretending like defense is a zero sum game, as if having multiple elite defenders diminishes one or the other….instead of making for elite team defense
Giannis is having one of his least impactful defensive seasons in recent memory.

I've constantly reiterated this to you and backed it up with actual statistical data accompanied with the appropriate context. Whereas you've just mindlessly referenced some tweets that just throw stats at the wall and see what sticks. I doubt you've watched more than a handful of Bucks games this season. I've told you that Brook, Jrue, Jevon and Grayson all have higher defensive matchup possessions than he does, so he's essentially playing minimal defense on the that end. I've seen this with my own two eyes throughout the entirety of the season where he's conserved energy on that end, with the role players taking on all the reps and he's just positioned himself to grab the rebound and start the break/offense.
I know exactly why you're trying to force this narrative about his defense, but it doesn't hold up in reality this season.
