ya, I just read it a few hours ago.  Doesn't like the dude.  I'm not a fan either but he's not the worst.

Nick Wright has been anti Celtics for years. He usually finds a way to slight them in some way.

I hope I put it in the Wright category. If not, mods please just move this.

Nick Wright once compared JT to a lighter (not skin tone, but skill wise), version of Otto Porter Jr, if he reached his ceiling.

That should tell you all you need to know about his IQ in general.

Nick Wright in general has been making a fool of himself lately especially with Celtics takes.

Anyways, I would not be surprised if his show gets cancelled within the next year. It's just not going to keep working like this with him basically going up against guests who change every day (since Carter was fired months ago).

Let's be honest. Destroying Nick Wright is about as hard as opening a door.

Nick Wright is a joke.   He rode Lebron's coat  tails just like Brian Windhorst to national fame as hype boys.

This is an issue that won't be solved by wearing a toupee.   ;D

He's an outrage merchant.

He advocates for LeBron and pretty much just tries to incite every other fanbase to get noise, engagement, and ratings.

Just the modern radio shock jock. A lesser Stephen A, Woody Paige, Skip Bayless, etc.

That's an incredible evisceration.

Wright has always been the absolute bottom rung #EmbraceDebate character.   The guy you know sucks and tries so hard to be a contrarian but without any real research that he just comes off as a complete joke.

Just as an FYI, Nate Duncan and the other guy listed Tatum in tier 4 (or about 8th) best small forward.  I think the lesson learned here is that Celtic fan is getting just a little bit overboard about Tatum.

When you realize this hot takes stuff is just pro wrestling with fewer costumes it can make it a lot less enjoyable or a lot more, but it should definitely make it less aggravating.

I've noticed Duncan is always a bit negative on the Celtics. He consistently devotes less time talking about the Cs, and it is always with a resigned sigh when they are doing well. I respect their insight and it didn't used to bother me a lot, but the consistency with which Duncan disregards the Cs success has been enough for me to stop listening to them after several years of consistent listening.

Leonard and James are clearly better than Tatum (even though Tatum completely outplayed Leonard in the recent game). He's pretty clearly in the Middleton, Siakim, Butler, George (this year) tier. Doncic is better, if you count him as a small forward.

I definitely think you could argue that Tatum's last 23 games are better than any 23 games stretch from Middleton, Siakim, Butler, or George. If this is for real, and it has been real for over 1/4 of a season, then Tatum is the best overall player (scorer/shot creator/defender) of the bunch.
