    It's hard to be funny on twitter when you only write 1-2 sentences at a time. For an NBA team twitter account, he did a pretty decent job. Better than what other teams had.

    It was intended to use a NON FUNNY thing to mock the opponent. This kind of things exists since stone age between competitors. Have you been living in a cave? I am pretty sure even cavemen did that.

    BTW, anybody remember this?

    Barnett got a lot of flak because of that speech.

    This is what you get for firing a guy when things go well for your team.

    Looks like it will be over soon.

    Should have waited with the firing until the offseason.... Bad timing and bad decision

    True, I mean a retweet makes sense, but it's not a post I would like. Found it to be odd.
