Somehow all three are posting much better numbers this year.
When Vasquez was off the court last season, the team had a 104.9 DRTG. With Lou on the bench, a 105.1 DRTG. These are not good numbers. Methinks your blame is misplaced. The system was absolute garbage.

They were one of worst defensive teams in the league coaches by a defensive guru who refused to adapt....and was adamnent, steadfast, and defiant to criticism throughout the entire season, playoffs, and post season presser.
I'm not sure how much more telling it can be that the bloggers view was more inline with reality.

Although this debate is unlikely to last beyond next season unless Masai and BB have some deal on the side - lol

No discussion. It's like TH enbd pof session putting up good number then goose eggs in the playoffs. Guys aren't going to bang in the regular season hard. Post season everyone plays hard every possession

MU moved out some of the shittiest defenders(Vasquez, Lou, Hans), but also allowed the best and most effective hedger to leave (Amir). Also brought in a terrific defender, but a poor hedger in Biz.

JV vs. BB is going to make the forums insufferable for the entire season.

Net rating is the difference. So if you played one offensive possession and scored 2 points (200 ORTG) and played 100 defensive possessions and allowed 2 points (2 DRTG), your net rating would not be based on 2 points scored minus 2 points allowed equals 0, it would be 200 - 2 = 198 net rating. So, short answer, no, defence-offence subs would not impact the numbers.
In any case, those sorts of subs make up maybe 3 or 4 possessions in a game, and most games they aren't even made, and on a scale of 75 or so minutes played (or more for BB) you are looking at about 150 possessions played (each way), so even if subs worked like that it would be an error on the scale of 1 or 2 %. But they don't anyway.
That's also why net rating is a far superior statistic to simple plus-minus. Plus minus will penalize players who play more defensive possessions than offensive ones (based on regular sub patterns and of course offence-defence subs at the end of games). Net rating takes the ratio of possession types out of the equation and just presents the difference in value provided on each end.
