Thanks for the inspiration.

Dame/Giannis/Brook have a +31.3 net rating since Griffin got fired. That #1 in the league out of 284 total 3-man lineups with 100+ minutes in that span.
Bucks are also 6th in the league in DRTG post Griffin firing. Doc/Joerger may have transformed this team.
Throw Beasley in there and they are at +31.8.
Throw in a 5-man lineup of Lopez, Giannis, Crowder, Dame, and Beasley minimum 50 mins and they are a +58.2.
Next closest is Curry, Green, Podziemski, Kuminga, and Wiggins at +37.5.

Is this team more likely to win a title with Khris Middleton or Jae Crowder playing more minutes?

And it's not not because we played out of our minds perfectly, it just is a more coherent brand of basketball that feels sustainable.
It just shows how little the guys believed in what Griffin was selling. Doc is not some schematic maestro but he is a real life adult professional coach that is capable of getting guys of believing in what he's asking them to do. There's no doubt that pure effort and energy are a factor here.
As awful as I think AG was as an Xs and Os coach, I do wonder how big of a chunk of those schemes being disasters was his inability to get his troops to follow him versus the scheme itself being a dumpster fire. Tonight was a great example, we are capable of blitzing and applying pressure and making it work but the back end seems more organized. It's hard for me to gauge how much of the defensive improvement is pure energy due to believing in the directives and how much of it is the directives themselves being... better.
Either way, we will still have ups and downs but bottom line is we look like a basketball team. What we're attempting to appears coherent and with purpose.
Bonus props for Doc for quickly deciding to get Green on the floor. I wonder if he saw something from afar because there has not been a lot of practice. I am hoping that AJJ and Marjon are getting brought up to speed behind the scenes and eventually get there shots as well.

I was really impressed with Pat's passing last night. I've been down bad on Pat all season but he's been much better since Doc took over. I forget that for role players, they can look really bad when they don't have a clear role. Doc addition recovering Pat, Jae and others on the bench is huge.
I though PatBev also created some good looks.

It seems like they trapped hard and at just the right time consistently last night. Teams will get the tape on that and move the ball quicker, but it was great to see an aggressive defense that actually worked.

Another revelation is that Bobby might actually be playable in a potential Finals matchup vs. these guys, so long as Murray can't relentlessly hunt him on switches. Great news.

Yeah... Bobby still flying up for that steal seems to backfire each time though.. IDK why we kept that..
