[StatMuse] Bucks starting five have held opponents to 95.3 points every 100 possessions. That’s a better defensive rating than the 2003-04 Pistons.

What about the 04 Pistons starting 5?
Better than the Pistons starters or the Pistons overall?
Damn if only they had a elite wing defender at the 3 as well……
Bucks defense is incredible. I can’t wait to see them matchup against our offense on Christmas Day.
*enter Middleton*
1. This is raw defensive rating which doesn’t account for era (the 03-04 pistons were 7.49 points better than league average defensively, which is 4th all-time)
2. Why tf would we compare a starting lineup to an entire team
I hate these stats that compare specific lineups over small sample sizes to an entire team over and entire season.
Like I made 2 3’s in a row at my lunch league, that 100% shooting stretch is better than Stephs career shooting % from deep!
But are they better than the 23’ pistons?
The east should be theirs this season
Defensive juggernaut. I imagine them like the deer with baseball bats standing around Peter from Family Guy when he goes hunting.
Their starting 5 is cold on both sides of the ball. And they’re gonna be replacing either Grayson or Carter with an all star in Mid.
Comparing lineup data to team data is a cardinal statistical sin in hoops
