Basketball Reference has them 8th and 12th in ORtg and DRtg right now.
Given where they started the season, in terms of defense, they've done very well to get back to 12th. Hopefully this is a sign that the team has come together and will be a force in the playoffs with their defense.
NBA.com is the better place for these ratings. BBRef uses an older formula to calculate possessions, to be consistent with prior eras when certain records were not kept (I think turnovers are what's missing, but maybe it's something else). NBA.com advanced stats don't go nearly that far back in time, so they are not handicapped by any desire for historical comparison.
Weird. I think I prefer BBRef just because I prefer their interface because I'm an old crank but that's good information about why the numbers were different on the two sites. I couldn't figure it out.
