Tell ‘Em Tyrus: ‘I’m The Starting Power Forward’
Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas will be checking in periodically. All of his blog entries can be viewed here. Bookmark it, and check back often.
It’s been a while and a good bit has happened since the last blog. The Lakers won the Championship, I went home to check on the kids in my retention program, C.A.T.C.H., I got another tattoo which will be on Mouthpiecesports.com’s TattooU (as soon as I get up with Mitch), the NBA draft and the world stopped when the GREATEST PERFORMER of all time passed!!
Although I didn’t watch much of the playoffs, I watched the Finals. I honestly feel the teams were equally matched, with the exception that the Lakers still had the taste of blood from last season’s Finals.
For those of you who don’t know about my retention program C.A.T.C.H., check it out at tyrusthomasinc.org. Working with those kids when I do has really allowed me to learn more about myself. It has also forced me to be more open and approachable. But I have to give shouts to my entire C.A.T.C.H. staff. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to fulfill my dream of helping others. I know it gets tough at times but they’ve been coming through like champs!
As for my tattoo, stay tuned to Mouthpiecesports.com for more on TattooU.
The draft! I keep getting the question “what’s up with the two forwards?” Let me say this, I’m the starting power forward and I don’t plan on playing anywhere but Chicago. Some may say I’m arrogant, or full of myself, some may even say I’m crazy! I’m just giving yall the truth.
Man! MJ!!!!!! … Enough said!
Gone,
Tyrus Thomas

Why not utilize them more? Take it to the hole, put the defense on their heals and force your way to getting buckets and free throws. The 17-foot jumpshot is a fine weapon if you can knock it down, and you've shown great improvement in it. But let's face it. You're way better off limiting those shots and going inside via face-up attacks from the wing, or just staying around the hoop when someone like Derrick and John penetrates.
I don't think you're arrogant nor crazy. But I do think you tend to overlook the actual aspects of what exactly is going on around you on the court. Mind your surroundings, stay close to the basket and focus on protecting the basket on the other end. Then, and only then, will you also be worthy of that starting power forward spot.

You need to get stronger like Horce Grant did. Think Amare, and try to get the body. You have the potential to be the best PF in the league. Are you always going to be less than Aldridge? Hell No! Make Chi Town proud. Stop with this nonsense SF talk. You just need some mucle and more consistency.

I'd like to see you fulfill your athletic potential but it requires hard work and dedication in the offseason.
