The improvement also happens to closely coincide with Jose Calderon's 12-game absence for a hip flexor injury. Calderon is a notoriously bad defender, and in the two games since he's returned, the Raptors' defense has taken a small step backward.

Jack's play has suffered since Calderon's return as well. Either player seems to do a lot better with the other not on the floor. In particular Jose and Hedo with the second unit playing small (mix of Amir at C, Weems/DeRozan/Belinelli) looked pretty good.
