You almost wonder if Kidd’s adjustment will be to see what Tatum does with less attention. The Mavs must know by now that if they let everyone else get cooking, they have little chance to win.Single game +/- can lie, as well all know. I don’t think it did tonight. Between his defense, and the defensive attention, he opened up a ridiculous amount of open shots. I think he was trying to feel out the Mavs scheme, which led to some silly turnovers, but I’m pretty confident he has a monster game 2.

So, why not see if you can get Tatum into ISO mode like he was at the end of the half. Of course, the downside of that approach is that if he starts cooking, he can drop 40 on you.
