I feel like you don't understand pace adjusted defense.

He may be reacting to how easy Montrezl Harrell had it last night. He scored 26 points on 11-17 shooting last night and most of his baskets weren't well contested. Even though their DRtg for the game was a 103.2, which would rank 5th in the league, I can see where the eye test would make you think the defense was terrible because of Harrell. It was kind of like the first Houston game where Capella went off because the focus was rightly on stopping Houston from killing the Pels with 3s.

Also, just by the eye test I thought Tobias Harris was on fire, but he wound up 3-10 from 3 and scored 27 on 24 shots which isn't very efficient. Stats say the overall defense was much better than the pain points that stood out to the eye test.
