"No No No, Don't Shoot" - The Byron Mullens Thread

You forgot 1 Fats.

This was who I first thought of as he had a pretty automatic mid range shot as well. He couldn't do much else though.

He should stay away from growing a stache though as that's a recipe for disaster if you're a white center:

Paul Mokeski

Chuck Nevitt

Petur Gudmundsson

Byron Mullens doesn't know when to back off with a ref. Not Stephen Jackson-like, but it's something he needs to control.

did he argue with the prison refs also?

mullens if fired up about the loss, i like it. however, he only mentions the bad shooting part. never mentions getting his pants pulled down by hibbert.

Wow what a bad L. I take the blame for this one. 3-11 from the field that's horrible! Got a couple stitches tonight. Its all good!

I will never eat hotel pasta again before a game!

Just landed in NY. Time for some much needed rest! And practice in the AM. Going to get me some shots up. 3-11! Enough said.

Mullens hasn't been tough by NBA standards. Silas doesn't need him to be a great defender or a great rebounder, but Mullens has to be adequate. He has to be engaged in those aspects of the game.

It was telling Wednesday, after Mullens scored a then career-high 16 points against the New York Knicks, that Silas focused on Mullens' five rebounds. The clear message: You'll play so long as you rebound and defend.

"Engaged" is a very good choice of words. I can handle it if someone isn't great at something like defense, but they have to at least be willing. That's why guys like Morrison and May drove me nuts. They didn't even try.

I really liked the way Mully dirtied it up in the paint Vs Hibbert last night. He didn't seem to have a problem banging in the paint. Regardless of Hibbert having his way with Mully at times, there is no doubt the effort was there.

I thought we got rid of Larry Brown? We cannot have Mr. Roses spouting off negativity and criticizing our fragile little players. Fats I don't know how you can stand for this sort of behavior from our coach? Very upsetting. :-?

EDIT: You too Big Slam. Why are you not upset?

He doesn't - and it's kind of funny because he never will.

whats the point? i've explained it at least 10 times since last year i doubt the 11th time will make a difference. but the short version is you still dont seem to understand why i was so disappointed with larry. his constant ripping of the players was only a tiny fraction.

That's not very enlightening.

The only thing you have explained is that when Larry rips the players it is bad but when Silas does it, it is good. And compared to Larry, what Silas is doing is worse because he's questioning a player's toughness. Larry on the other hand would mainly whine about what the team isn't doing right. Silas constantly calls out individual players. And he ain't smiling during his post game chats with the media. :noway:

Yet the players all claim to enjoy having him as a coach, and feel confident in their abilities. I wonder why?
