Which means he was either:
-Scared of the Gallinari blocking his shot (?)
-Scared of going to the foul line
Probably figured why get blocked or fouled when Thybulle has an easier shot. I don’t know what Simmons was thinking.
So weird to harp on one play though. What was going through Rudy’s mind when he stood and looked at Mann for 3 seconds and not even contesting one of his threes? Nobody is talking about that.
