Yes because he was kind of forced to give Kaman minutes with Dirk endorsing him, Kaman has been the biggest issue by far with why the defense is so bad.
With Bernard James on the floor the Mavs have a 100.2 defensive rating which would be tied for 9th with Golden State
With Chris Kaman on the floor the Mavs have a 107 defensive rating which would be 28th only in front of the Hornets and Kings
Basically Dirk's front office decision which everything suggests it was is a huge reason for the struggles on the defensive end.
