Why has their defense been so poor this year? Feels like every time I look at the scores they are trying to squeak out some close one after being quite good at defense last year. Their big 3 are all really good defenders, yet they are playing games in the 120s against mediocre teams? Just wondering what I’m missing. I could understand Butler taking awhile to gel, but it feels like they’ve been doing this all year and I see their opponents ppg are the highest of all playoff teams in the east. Just weird as they seemed to play defense at a really high level the last half of the season last year.
