One thing to keep in mind is that RPM has a slight substitution bias - so if a player is usually subbed for a very good defensive player, their DRPM will be suppressed. I think this is happening here a bit, as Thabo came off the bench for ATL a lot and he's a tremendous (+3) defender. In any case, his upgrade over Ross last year (-0.25 vs -3.77) is massive."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

But this is a small effect, neither of these guys are average defenders or anything.

Has more to do with them trading for MCW - he has been just awful impact wise, and their play fell off a cliff after that trade.
And I'm not too worried about the Nuggets being bad, they're tanking. We'll probably end up with the Knicks pick which'll make it even sweeter.

Houston falling to 8th would be surprising.
