I think DM has improved a ton this season defensively and CP3 is older and injury prone. However Harden took it to another level, is better than ever.
One key thing is Utah defense invites mid-range shots and if CP3 and Harden make those again as they did in the past, Utah will either need a heroic or X-factor performance from someone on offense.
I'm hopeful because following the departure of Ariza and Mbah a Moute, HOU is 18th best defense in the league now and Utah struggled against their switch-all defense last postseason, and should almost certainly do better now.
