The Zen Master's targeted arrangements against O'Neal were effective, but the ones against Roger were completely ineffective.
This also meant that Scottie Pippen's good days were about to come.
He should be thankful he's not the DPOY because if the DPOY became an easy target for offensive players, that would undoubtedly be very embarrassing. But for an All-Defensive First Team player to be targeted, it's only slightly embarrassing.
After the first quarter, Roger thoroughly exploited Pippen using pick-and-rolls, just as he did in the regular season.
Is Pippen's defense not outstanding? Of course not.
He is one of the best players in the league at defending the pick-and-roll.
But even the best defenders of the pick-and-roll can't simply pass through the body of the screener.
