There seems to be plenty of conversation about how playing Rudy while the Jazz were getting barraged was at the heart of the problem. Hard to choose *A* play when they give up EIGHTY ONE POINTS in the second half. So I disagree with the premise.
Secondly, Simmons' shot (or lack thereof) in question was to tie the game and a bunny in a low-scoring game.
Lastly, I'm not sure the relevance of comparing Gobert to Simmons here.
You’re right. I digress. Trading for Simmons isn’t happening so no real need to talk about it anymore.
