In the Last 30 Years, No Team Averaged More Points Per Game Than 20-21 Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks have a profilic offense this year. Some might know that. Some may not. The Milwaukee Bucks set a record for NBA history with averaging 120.2 points per game. That is the most in the last 30 years. Now, some could say that these stats are comparable to the steroid era in baseball. Everyone is scoring points similarly to how everyone was hitting home runs. How can we count these records? No one in basketball is juicing up, rather, it has never been easy to score a bucket. Regardless, the Bucks are the scoring champs for now. Who knows if next year some team will break that record.
People like to give Mike Budenholzer a lot of shit. I get some of it. Some of it is over-the-top. But this is a pure example of what Bud’s offense can do for a team. They have three of the five best scoring seasons in recent NBA history. That’s incredible. Budenholzer’s system is a large reason for that. Also, a guy like Giannis Antetokounmpo who dominates inside and sometimes outside also helps too.
Let’s hope this results in a championship and not just a very good regular season team.
