Wright was fantastic today.
But now now, settle down, it's not fair to call the earlier thread that criticized him 'unnecessary'. He WAS playing horribly for a prolonged period at the start of the season, and he has completely transformed over the last few games. It's not just differences in the stat sheet- he's playing with an entirely different approach. And it's working phenomenally for the team. Let's all hope together that he keeps this up against the tougher BE opponents coming up instead of claiming that we are his biggest fan, that others were wrong for criticizing him, etc.
No, he actually hasn't transformed at all from the first few games. He is playing the same way he was playing in those first few games, the difference is he now has grown a lot more comfortable in the new role he is playing so you are seeing the results.
Posts like this were one of the things that was most annoying about the bashing threads, because they were so predictable. Everyone who was critizing him was generally critisizing him for being "same old Chris" and taking wild shots and being out of control, when in fact his poorer play was because he was settling into a more controled player. "Transformations" don't happen over night, and the begginning of the season was probably the "trasformation" process, and you saw the whole thing. The approach hes playing with right now is the same approach since day one of the season, the results are just much improved because hes now adjusted.
