In a recent segment of The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Nick Wright expressed his thoughts on the NBA playoffs. He highlighted that the Boston Celtics need more contributions from Jayson Tatum following their Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks. He also analyzed the Los Angeles Lakers’ struggles in the playoffs and debated whether Anthony Edwards could lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to victory against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Additionally, Wright discussed Abdul Carter’s jersey number request which was denied.

“The Boston Celtics will bounce back, but they need Tatum to step up if they want to advance.” Translation: The Boston Celtics must improve their performance to succeed.
