Khryapa with the reverse SLAM?

[kulaz3000]

Why is Gordon still out on the floor? Boylan helping him pad his stats for a big contract?

[Rerisen]

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Did the coaching staff start screwing around with Tyrus' minutes and he started playing worse, or was he playing badly so they limited his minutes? I'll argue it's the first, and that's what pisses me off as a fan.

If you go back to the start of the year Tyrus lost his starting job because of Wallace, Kirk, BG and Deng, not because of how he was playing. Skiles even admitted as much. It's been downhill from there.

Khryapa the human victory cigar!!

Let me just stop, theres enough of the Tyrus Brigade already as there is.

So fine, you win. Tyrus played great. Play him 40 minutes a game. He's a franchise player. 20/10. Untouchable. Build the team around him.

Well, he is the 4th quarter man.

[Shill]

nice pass by Tyrus to Viktor for the reverse dunk

[BullSoxChicago'sFinest]

LOL, Viktor


Why was Gordon on the floor? Pad your stats for your contract in garbage time?

Yes, lets compare Gordons situation to Tyrus Thomas.

I once was looking for an emoticon to use to add emphasis to my disagreeing with a point. I glanced at the eye rolling one, but figured I wouldn't use that one, because that would have been (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

welcome to the club...

Yeah, this "Tyrus played bad" stuff is ludicrous. It's not that he played well and not that he played badly; he played 3 minutes. Badness is not a reason for his not playing until the very end.

The reason in this case was that Noah was playing very well, Smith played great, and Noc came on strong in the 4th quarter. If Noah gets a lot of PT and Tyrus doesn't in a given game, I'm not all that upset. I would like to see both of them get it, but Noah was a better matchup tonight. I'm proud of him.

So is this how you deal with everything - get angry stomp your foot and pout off?

No one called him 20/10. We wanted to know in a 20 point blow off why TT and the rest of the reserves were still sitting on their ass.

Don't worry about Red. I think he's just doing what treis made him promise to do when he left. Treis lives on.

No, I just stop while I'm ahead, because I can't win in a Tyrus argument. There's a 100 foot shield covering him on this board.

Let me just stop

Please do

I once debated with another poster about the value of a player. I considered mocking the poster by saying "oh yeah sure he's a HOF player you're right." But since the poster never claimed the player was a HOF, it would have been (Please Use More Appropriate Word) of me to say that.

It's always black and white to you, and you love the reductio ad absurdum argument-- except that you don't know how to use it.

Nobody said anything about greatness or 40mpg. They wanted more than 3 minutes in a blowout. So simple that it can only be grasped by...well... almost all minds.

You can't win in a Tyrus argument because your arguments aren't very good.

You've already made up your mind about him, and every posts reflects that, irrespective of his performance.

[Red Larrivee]

And apparently Tyrus has made up his mind about himself too, which could be part of the reason he's glued to the bench despite the coaching switch.

I like Tyrus, and I want him to succeed, but he offers nothing that says he will other than a few flashes here and there.
