Bit late with this one lol
But anyway Dame and Bam have both talked about how they're really close friends. Might've been the biggest reason he wanted to go to Miami in the first place. Not that surprising

MIL (Dame/Beasley/Middleton/Giannis/Lopez): +14.9 in 594 minutes

BOS (Jrue/White/Brown/Tatum/Porzingis): +12.6 in 596 minutes
Pretty clearly the 3 best lineups in the league this year. The Bucks' advanced ratings look rather pedestrian and underwhelming based on the pre-season Dame/Giannis hype, but when their best 5 is on the floor together they are absolutely killing it. This despite a mid-season coaching change and Lillard having a "down" season by his standards.
In the playoffs, depth will still matter and Doc Rivers will need to figure out a way to get other lineups to work. But I think people are sleeping on the Bucks' potential in the playoffs this year, feels like people think Boston has the East wrapped up as long as they stay healthy but I don't think it's set in stone. The Bucks can give them a real fight if Dame has a great series (the matchup vs. Jrue would be spicy to say the least).
Just feels like people are sleeping on Giannis in general ever since Jokic took the crown as best in the league and Luka ascending to a guy worthy of being in the conversation.
1st, 1st, 4th, 3rd, 3rd in the MVP voting the past 5 years and 4th in MVP odds as of today. Assuming he finishes 3rd/4th/5th in the MVP race this year, he'll be at roughly 3.90 NBA MVP shares which is 11th all-time and 2nd among active players to LeBron.
- 30/12/6 over the last 6 years (396 games) on .630 TS% with a 30.5 PER/.259 WS/48/9.9 BPM and a +9.2 On/Off
- 2 MVPs, 1 DPOY, and 1 Finals MVP (including a 50pt game + legendary block) over these 6 years
- He was voted 25th best player ever before this season on RealGM's Top 100 list
He's 29.
People really take his greatness for granted. He is very capable of leading the Bucks to another ring this year, and it really feels like that 2nd ring would cement him as one of the best to ever lace them up. The Bucks' best 5-man unit certainly looks Championship worthy, it'll be up to the depth and coaching. I'm not saying they'll win but they are lurking there right now and people are definitely overlooking their potential and Giannis' historic stretch of play.

J
I'm not sure the Bucks can trot out that 5 vs Boston and be successful.

That net rating is interesting. I didn't think the Bucks graded that high.
Do you have the numbers for their other common 5 man line-ups?
They should be winning more games if their starting 5 is that dominant.
