For example, I'm always hearing about pnr defense on blogs, but I find it hard to recognize when somebody in a game (either the man being picked or the big man) is doing the right/wrong thing, as opposed to when they're doing the right thing and the offense still scores...I want to be able to appreciate the defense and say "that play was well defended regardless of whether the shot fell or not" as opposed to judging it by the outcome.

Is it the sort of thing that has to be defended by just being read, or should the big men have been more aware? Chauncey is so far out that it's hard can't knock the D for not getting up on him and making it tougher to see cutters... Interesting, so what is the correct way to defend this play?
