Granted, I haven't seen every minute of every game, but I honesty cannot remember us taking one single charge this season. I've seen plenty of opponents blow by our on-ball defenders or go straight to the rim in transition. And I have seen plenty of "help" defenders either stand by as they watch said opponent go unimpeded to the hoop or pick up a foul on a late reach-in or block attempt. But I seriously can't remember one time this year, where on off-ball defender saw that an opponent was driving to the rim and successfully moved to block his path in a timely manner.
Obviously this is not the most important shortcoming on this team, but it is something that has bugged me more and more as the season has progressed. And I am not advocating for lame Battier-esque flopping, but it would be nice to see better team and transition defense.
