Basketball reference has us 9th in defensive rating. If the offense keeps catching up, ie players making open shots, then we should be in a decent position by the end of the season.
There is no question Kidd has the team playing much better D than Rick did.
And for comparison, Rick's Pacers are 20th in defensive rating.
And 20th in defensive rating is where the Mavs were last season. Interesting.
