It's better, actually.

The best possible way to rate a defense is points per possession.

From 1990-1995, the average defensive rating(points per 100 possessions) was 107.8. From 2009 to 2014 it's 106.7

1990 108.1
1991 107.9
1992 108.2
1993 108
1994 106.3
1995 108.3

2009 108.3
2010 107.6
2011 107.3
2012 104.6
2013 105.9
2014 106.7
