I'm not sure if Barkley said that, but I know Bill Walton said something to that effect. When he was broadcasting some other game, he said that Phoenix was a better defensive team than the Rockets. Mike Tirico told him he was crazy, but his response was that we weren't that great of a defensive team, but just that Jeff slowed down the pace of the game.
Man for man, everybody on this Rockets team is capable of being a better defender than anyone on those Kings team (including T-Mac over Christie). Only concern if any is if we can maintain the defensive mentality. I for one am not concerned about our defense. It will still be top notch D.
