It hurts me to say it, but I'm starting to get to the point where I think some of the blame is on Brad. It's not totally his fault, because he has an exceptionally hard roster to manage, but... Kyrie Irving is easily one of the most dynamic and efficient scorers in the league and yet there are 16 players in this league who take more shots per game. Tatum is clearly our 2nd best option - another guy who can create his shot at will... and yet there are 43 players in this league that take more shots than him.
While this "share the wealth" and "get everyone involved" stuff is great when you're a plucky team of non-stars, it's clear that we should be leaning on our top guys. Problem is, doing that would freeze out some quality players who need touches to stay engaged.
Really tough situation.
In regards to tatum, i would not say he's the kind of guy who can create his shot at will. He can certainly create a contested mid ranger at will, but he struggles at times getting to the basket and doesnt do anything in regards to cretaing his shot for others. He may and I think will one day be the kind of guy you just feed, but he's not right now. have no argument for your Kyrie point however. We could, at times, use so more Kyrie hero ball. But offense hasnt been our probem tonights, its the defense.
