    Defensive Efficiency in the Harden Era starting '12-'13: 16th, 12th, 6th, and 20th.

    I shouldn't have to remind you this was under mostly Kevin McHale.

    I'm having a hard time seeing a systemic defensive issue with the Rockets no matter whose defensive efficiency stats you use. This season was terrible for many reasons, but defensively how much trouble did a disinterested defensive anchor cause this year?

    I'm having a hard time seeing Harden as the defensive anchor this year, disinterested or otherwise.

    In regards to the MDA hiring..... We have NOT been a terrible defensive team in the James Harden era, not even a BAD defensive team save for this season.
