Yeah, defense is way more draining nowadays than it ever was in the 80s or 90s. It's not even close. The game has evolved a lot.

way i see it, there's better athletes so it's tougher to play defense but less teams actually play defense like they used to.

Defenses are better than they were in the 80's and 90's like SIGNIFICANTLY better.
Defense is also more difficult to play, you can't just physically abuse people with hand checks, freedolm of movement rules, and improved 3 point shooting, defensive 3 seconds means you have to cover way more ground as a defender.
Hand checking peolple and hard fouls doesn't mean defenses were more difficult to beat they weren't they were significantly easier.

Its so crazy to me cuz dude was showing noooo signs last year. Dude had his speed, hops and everything. I think it has to be an injury, didn't he have back issues? Back injuries can really effect explosiveness, example Dwight's Lakers stint.

Tiago Splitter is a *****. Point blank. He's just fallen down on at least 3-5 Dwight post ups. Every one his neck got some whiplash in it. Ridiculous

Between the 80s and now, the effort isn't even close. The 80s were straight run and gun.
Besides that, the way NBA teams play defense requires more energy. Just the stuff they have to deal with and how they deal with it. The Thibs style principles have taken over the league. It's either that or aggressive Miami style traps.
Hard fouls doesn't equal good or tougher defense.
