In this game our offense has almost exclusively been pick and roll. We have passed to the "roller" ONE time. Why run this offense if the guy rolling to the basket is essentially ignored?!

This is a serious question, I am hoping I am missing something.

#2 ) we have actually scouted the opponents offensive tendencies and designed a plan to stop it.
