Tell ‘Em Tyrus: My All-Star Weekend Thoughts

Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas will be checking in periodically. All of his blog entries can be viewed here. Bookmark it, and check back often.

Although I didn’t attend All-Star Weekend this year, I’ve been watching the festivities. And first I have to say, CHI-TOWN STAND UP!!!! I know you all seen my man D-Rose bring home the crown in the skills competition. Congratulations Rook!

Man, the slam dunk contest was crazy! JR and Fernandez did some impressive dunks, but Nate and Dwight had the crowd into it. I loved the whole kryptonite deal by Nate.

Now, I know everybody wants to know about the trade rumors. But I must say, I honestly want to stay in Chicago. I love my teammates, my organization and this beautiful city. However, this situation is beyond my control. Hopefully on the 19th I’m still a Bull. Keep your fingers crossed for me y’all!

Gone,

Tyrus

Well Tyrus, the dead-line has come & gone, and you're STILL a Chicago Bull!!!!!

I hope you keep the starting spot, you deserve it. Now is your time to shine. Use all the criticism as motivation. Make all those who still complain about the trade for you eat their words.

There are ALOT of people out here that believe you can be an All-Star, just keep doin' what you do!

I'm looking forward to the rest of the season knowing that "TT" is still a Bull! The play-offs are within reach. Don't rely on everyone else to just let you guys in, go out there & let them know that the Chicago Bulls are for real!

I hope you do stay! I've been lobbying for you during this whole ordeal about Amare on the Bulls' Fan Voice. I feel now that you're getting the playing time, you're really starting to shine! As of late, you've been putting up numbers that rival those of Stoudemire, not to mention your defense helped keep him from being much of a factor when you played Phoenix. It seems as though you & Joakim are really playing well together lately.
Keep it up Tyrus! I'll be cheering for ya!!!!

If Pheonix thinks that thats not a good deal, Drew, Ty, Jo or Thabo, or 1st round pick, then who cares, better for us that right there is givin off too much talent. Tyrus is going to be better than Amar'e watch.................. I'm a big fan of drew, But Tyrus, do NOT let him try to get his starting position back............ lol trust me dude, you aint goin nowhere............. just to let you know D-rose was my Favorite player, but what you just wrote on your blog, about you wanting to stay here, dude thats cool as hell, you my favorite player now. Ima be seein you March 6th at da bulls game when you demolish dem Bucks.

ok listen bobbee1 I've seen every single game this season, if i miss a game it doesnt feel right. You are right tyrus has been playing good lately, I know that. All i am saying is, is that he needs to play like this, through out the whole season, thats why i said, "could be as good or better than Amar'e" Thats talking about tyrus.
One more thing Tyrus, you probably dont have to worry anymore, I read a lot of blogs and articles and it seems like the trade now is less likely = ) you stayin in Chicago BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tyrus, no matter where you end up, you've won the hearts of a lot of Bulls fans. Wherever you go, keep eating the souls of whoever invades the paint, unless of course you're playing against the Bulls.

that comment from Sebastian is crazy...(obviously he hasnt been watching u play lately). Im still trying to figure out why the heck Joakim Noah is even in the league! Of course Tyrus has more value than him so yeah it would be likely for a team to pick him over Noah! Gosh darn.....This is so unfair....Screw Amare!!!! the Bulls always get rid of the good players and keep the scrubs....So unfair. Tyrus u a BEAST and I hope u do stay in Chicago, but if you don't continue to play your best game that you know how to play.....I don't want u to leave, I need more time to see u leaving the locker room dressed ever so nicely..lol hahaha j/k.....

Sorry, TT, but the only chance we got to get superstar Amare, is to give you up. but i've enjoyed you on this team and have definitely been entertained the past 2-3 years.

It's cool T-time wants to stay, but dude he's got to start playing better, when I see him play it makes me want to cry, seeing a player with his talent not using it wisely or at all it's just a shame. Tyrus could be as good or better than Amar'e, I want you to stay to but, maybe this is a wake up call for you.
