    Hell yeah, cause no-one is coaching defense now. McHale is a figure-head only, he doesn't know how to coach or assess player's skills.

    considering Sampson often made boneheaded decisions when he coached the games, not sure you would've seen much difference.

    Our defense is suffering because he was pretty much our coach, McHale is clueless.

    Yes, there is a difference.

    When he was here, they play bad defense, when he isn't here, they play no defense.

    ^^This. I never thought he was any good. But in hindsight, perhaps he was doing a spectacular job with what he was given to work with.

    -Harden doesn't try
    -Parsons looks like he's focused on offense trying to get a deal
    -TJones is an awful defender
    -The bench is basically offensive-minded cast-offs and D-leaguers.
