T-Time: Playing With a Chip on our Shoulder

[HeatCheck]

“My drive is because of the fact every other team is getting mentioned right now, whether it’s their blockbuster trade or how good they’ll be,’ Thomas told the Observer Monday. ‘So I know we have to come in and work. My drive right now is to be mentioned. It just disgusts me when you watch ESPN, and out of the 30 teams you’re not mentioned. I think a lot of our guys have that chip on their shoulders. Just to show we’re in the league, too, you know?’”

Surprising, but good to hear Tyrus say this. I would expect for Tyrus, or anyone Bobcat to understand why we aren't getting the national respect and realize we are in rebuild mode. But he is turning it and using it as motivation for the season. It's great to see Tyrus committed to getting Bobcats national exposure. But as we all know it'll take winning, and this year might not be the year for that.

Let's kick some people in the balls this season, Tyrus.

I love Tyrus Thomas. I hope we dont decide to Gerald Wallace him.

Granted he has never lived up to his hype, he's still one of the most talented pieces on our team, and im glad he feels disrespected.

Boy is he in for a rude awakening.
