The three point stuff is really interesting.

It does seem, to me, that if you allow a lot of 3 pointers, you are more exposed to the variance that entails; if you are Milwaukee (head and shoulders above everyone else in the east, and if you take their point differential at face value, everyone in the west as well) theoretically you want to limit that variance.

I really can't believe those 2 point defense # for the Bucks.

Fwiw, if you look at 3 pointers allowed per 100, as opposed to per game, the top 3 remain the same, but 4/5/6/7 are now Charlotte, New York, Golden State, and Portland, who are all bottom 8 in defense.  Because so much of 3 point shooting is variance, I have always thought the best 3 point defense is to limit attempts, so I am really surprised to see the top 3 in attempts per possession rank so highly in defense.

As good as the Bucks have been so far, could they get even better in the playoffs?  Giannis is going to go from 30 minutes a night to 40.
