Obviously not no one, but so far most of the discussion I’ve seen from last night is either about Porzingis (rightfully so), Jaylen’s inconsistent game or the struggles of the bench (the last two I think will right themselves). But no one is talking about just how good Tatum looked.
To me he look markedly better than any version I’ve seen of him before. We’ve all seen him make tough shots and explode offensively, but last night he just looked absolutely in control. There were a couple of drives and finishes where I just sat back in incredulity at the fact that this dude has leveled up once again.
Can’t wait to see what this team is capable of once they build up some chemistry and settle into their roles.
He had some sloppy turnovers that appeared to be just some new team problems for the most part but otherwise he does look better as an overall player. I just think we’re not surprised to see the improvement
