As transcendent as Tatum was tonight, this game also exposed the next step he needs to take: punishing teams with his vision. When the Lakers sent two bodies at him, it largely stymied our offense.
yes this is exactly what happened and will be exactly what happens in the playoffs. Teams will bring the 2nd defender and test Tatum to see if he can find the open man. If he can't make that play, tough def teams are going to do it over and over again to us in the playoffs.
I am sure that Brad already knows this, so that is why having 2 other 20 point scorers should help. But Tatum needs to keep his head up all the time, to watch for the open man. I think unfortunately right now, even though he has improved his handle a lot, he can't handle the ball well while keeping his head up looking to make a play for the other guys. Next step I know...
