Tatum has 11 points in an elimination game at home but let's keep trashing an old Horford though. Tired of seeing people make excuses for the J's for fear of them bolting.
What do you expect Tatum to do - shoot over the double teams? He's got 13 shots thus far with 6 assists. The rest of the team isn't stepping up per usual. They're taking Tatum out of the offense, and highlighting why the rest of our offense simply isn't good enough. Al is finally stepping up and actually looking to shoot, but it looks too little too late.
what we expect tatum to do is what curry is doing against our D designed to stop him. move without the ball. create space for your shot. be aggressive and offensively minded. be the alpha. unlike curry, he also has length to leverage to his advantage.
if you want to be the man, you gotta deliver the goods.
I’m not sure if you are watching, but Steph Curry has a complete offense designed for him to get open at a very high clip.
Tatum is an iso player, but there is no comparison for the way they are schemed in the offense. It’s like comparing a high school offense to an NBA offense.
the comparison is offensive option #1 for both players. tatum being an iso player is his problem. when he moves without the ball, he gets easy shots, and so do his teammates. that’s how the c’s offense is designed to work as a motion offense. too often, tatum’s penchant for iso is what stagnates his own game, as well as the entire offense. jb does this at times, too.
like i said, “you want to be the man, you gotta deliver the goods.” as option #1, you don’t just let the other team take you out of your game consistently.
