To really get a grip on how bad our defensive stats are, take a look here.

We allowed 42% on 2 point jump shots (worst in the league) assisted 55% of the time, 38.4% on 3 pointers (4th worst in the league), and 60.2% on inside shots (12th worst, tied with Boston) assisted 54% of the time(upper 1/3 of league).

We allowed the opposition to shoot 2 point jump shots 39% of the time (2nd smallest amount in league), 23% of shots were 3 ptrs (tied for fourth most with 8 other teams), and 37% of shots allowed were inside shots (tied with LAC and PHI for 2nd most. Now what does all of this mean?

I think it means that we didn't do that stupid "make them shoot it in the yard" plan that LK "demanded". The good defensive teams either made other teams shoot 2 point jumpers at low percentages or as is Detroit's case, inside shots at lower percentages. Even though we allowed an abysmal 42% on 2 pointers, teams didn't take advantage of it. They instead feasted on the 3 point line or drove it to the hoop. Our team was absolute garbage.

So what you're saying is that teams could do whatever they wanted offensively against the Bucks. That sounds about right.

If you're getting 38% 3pointers or 60% inside shots, why go with 42% jump shots, even if it is a league high?

Just on FG% (not TO's):
114 points in 100 possessions - 3 ptrs
120 points in 100 possessions - inside
84 points in 100 possessions - jump shots
