Tweeting

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 11 years ago

Seems the players have stopped. Some players, like Mike Aaman would tweet constantly throughout the day. Biggie was another big tweeter, his is gone. I wonder if there have been orders for the players to stop?

Bigby is still tweeting, but Hurley has one tweet since January 7, and Bobby only wished his daughter
happy birthday, since.
Seems like a teamwide moratorium on tweeting, for some reason, starting with the coach.
It's like everyone turtled after the St. Mary's and Brown games, on.
I'm sure it's not a coincidence.

Yeah, that Biggie/Powell exchange is what tipped me off. Just a guess on my part, but looks like it's a safe assumption.

What is this tweet from Nik mean? He did it yesterday...

guess we'll find out tonight if nik plays !

i'll assume it's nothing.. but interesting nonetheless

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 11 years ago

Clearly he is just voicing his frustration with the designated hitter rule in MLB. It is almost Spring Training after all...

I was thinking he was watching the movie Wall Street and hated Daryl Hannah's character. She was pretty shallow in that movie.

DH has to be Dan. I bet he's in the dog house again. He may be frustrated cuz in his mind he played well last time out, but maybe didn't do what was needed between games.

Blue Man · Unread post by **Blue Man** » 11 years ago

or DH could just be an abbreviation for a class? a girl he's dating? a friend he's fighting with? maybe it's a problem with the Dining Hall? maybe he's staying at a Dank Hotel? Maybe he distrusts Delicious Hawks? Maybe someone Drove Happily by him at a bus stop?

can we stop doing this thing where we assume we know what people's tweets mean?

If he was dumb enough to put something about hurley though we'll know tonight.

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 11 years ago

Interesting .... the tweet is no longer there. Perhaps he deleted it.

i'm not concerned about it, not sure why he would put on twitter if it was hurley or why it would still be there

Rhody72 · Unread post by **Rhody72** » 11 years ago

The team should have a real problem with Nik's tweet. He's not so dumb to realize that everyone would assume whom he meant even if it was someone else. As long as you are a member of the team, you don't publicly put down a coach or any other team member. DH should confront him in front of the team, if it what it appears and Nik is contrite, he doesn't dress for GW; or longer until he gets it.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

that's if he was talking about Hurley, we don't know what he was talking about or what DH means. People need to remember these are kids and sometimes people need to keep to themselves

Dwight Howard?

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 11 years ago

it could also be a joke and DH is aware of the post. how could anyone be so stupid to disrespect their HC in a public forum like that. if it is for real and is DH i suspect he is done for good at URI. but i highly doubt that is the case, let's hope its a joke or misunderstanding.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

could be howard, he is a Lakers fan and they played monday

No one should have a real problem with niks tweet because he had nothing to do with anything associated with the team.

The only people that had a problem with the tweet are people on a message board throwing out hairbrained theories because they think of nik as a loose cannon and just read everything he says in that context.

So less focus on social media that we have zero cultural context to figure out, and more focus on things related to basketball and GW tonight? Cool.

I'll go with Dwight Howard.
Most overrated player in NBA history.

Optimistic · Unread post by **Optimistic** » 11 years ago

Howard is incredibly overrated, but I would argue that he is being seriously hampered by a bad back this season. Even a healthy Howard wouldn't do much to improve the Laker's play this year.

Running Ram · Unread post by **Running Ram** » 11 years ago

If Nik is referring to Howard and didn't realize most folks would think he was referring to Hurley that's just plain dumb, he comes off as smarter than that. Maybe it's a language thing and he meant a joker

or he just likes his shit all stirred up.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 11 years ago

I think he realized after he posted it, that people might think DH stands for Dan, instead of Howard. That's why he pulled it fast.

For his sake I hope.

Clearly you are all wrong and it was about the designated hitter as I mentioned earlier. Few people realize what a hotly debated topic this is on the streets of Serbia.

That's absurd. Guy has a bad back. Try being 7' and banging bigs in the NBA with a bad back. Just look up the Magic roster he took to the NBA finals. You can call him almost anything you want after the petulant act getting himself out of Orlando but, for about seven years, he was a top 5 NBA player without question. There were ten guys getting max contracts then that were nowhere near as valuable.
