I wouldn’t go over analyzing everything people happen to say…..I’m sure if you analyzed all of us thoroughly enough then you would find that we all sound a bit like dog fighters.

Get more updates on KG…..not on lame twitter accounts

Maybe I’m dense… I can’t figure out how this could be a joke in any way. Doesn’t mean it isn’t – I just don’t get it.

At the very least, his tweet reflects a lack of intelligence. If he can’t grasp the complexities of a public tweet about a hot button topic/criminal activity, then he may not be able to grasp the complexities of coach T’s D.

For the record–and I may have to do a post on this–I believe Daniels is absolutely telling the truth when he says it was a joke. Most of his Twitter account is inside jokes–I don’t understand most of his tweets. By all accounts, he’s a bit of a goofball–and I mean that affectionately–so I believe him here.

That said, his Tweet was weird enough to at least warrant me asking him about it. Henry took it from there and made it into a post about social media on TrueHoop, which I had very little/nothing to do with.

Personally, I appreciated this post. I have season tix. I spend a lot of my money on the Celtics and I would prefer to not be supporting – directly or indirectly – cruel, inhumane, abusive behavior towards animals.

Other posters can say Daniels doesn’t have to explain himself or his personal business. Fair enough, but we’re talking about him potentially breaking laws. That affects the Celtics and therefore affects the fans, particularly the people who pay for a whole season up-front. If he’s not breaking any laws and not hurting anyone, then it’s his business and he need not explain himself. However, in this case, it was totally appropriate for Zach Lowe to inquire about it and ask for it to be explained. Daniels apparently recognized this considering he responded.

Nice work Zach. Also, nice work by Henry Abbott & Brian Robb in compiling it all together.

Was it really neccessary to post this here? Wasn’t it enough that ESPN picked it up? These guys are grown men, and don’t have to really explain anything. They Tweet and interact w/the fans which is great. If they aren’t being disrespectful to anyone, then leave them alone. Most of Marquis’ tweets are to his family and friends. Occasionally he’ll Tweet w/fans which is great! Why can’t you just appreciate that? This guy Zach seems a bit sheltered-I mean the comment he made after that about “birds”..?? WTF was that? Really guys, no disrespect intended, but if you are any bit of a bball fan, you know alot about some of these players and some of them you may just not want to follow if you are looking for “prim and proper”. May I suggest @sheldenwilliams or @sugarray20? Thanks guys. -KWAPT
