\ It still doesn't make sense. Why would you "sandbag" when you're starting playoff games? He's got a serious problem, I just don't know what it is. (Though I suspect he is injured as his lateral mobility has disappeared.) That said, I'm pretty tired of it too. He made one of the worst plays I've ever seen this playoffs: He had the ball about 15 feet from the basket while being guarded by the couple of inches shorter, and crappy defender Steve Nash. What does he do? Goes right spins back (so that he is FARTHER from the basket after the spin), then fades away so far he barely is able to keep his balance. The resulting ultra-low % 22-footer bricks, of course. F. That.
LittleAlex had a good idea. Send him to Idaho D league team. You think you don't like Portland? How do you like Boise Biatch! Portland absolutely cannot afford to play Rudy the next playoff game. He is too much of a liability on the court.
