    It's frightening that you're on twitter now. Next you'll be eating robot made burgers at Wendy's.

    My little Notepad file "how to post tweet on S2" is dated July 4, 2015, but I have only recently begun to use the secret instructions. As the Anti-Christ, it is ironic fate that I learned on the 4th of July how to conquer the virtual world.

    It's not difficult and doesn't require any special instructions with the new software.

    The file is 41 bytes on my hard drive, so yes, the instructions are simple. But your new software truncates my hair in my avatar and makes me look bald. How do I resize it to display my fully elegant visage? Why don't you do it and show off your skill in cosmetology.

    I am happy for Nate that he gets another shot. Funny thing is, sometimes you have to go contrarian to improve. While everyone is into SSOL, the Pacers are going TSOM ( Twenty Seconds OrMore). But yeah, ummm, noooo, even typing this I can't really justify this hire. Still, good for Nate.

    Yep, under Nate they will most likely be the Control The Pacers if history is any guide. It's possible that Nate's basketball philosophy and adaptability have evolved. But my impression of Nate has always been of a stubborn hard head, so I don't expect it. We'll see.

    When Nate got fired and cried while thanking the team...he lost that control...now he's just relying on Bird to feed him some plays and Bird says he'll yell at players for him

    Larry Legend apparently did not watch Nate coach our Blazers. :lol:

    Pacers must be reaching for the NBA draft lottery for the next few years.

    Bird would be better off coaching them himself, he was actually a good coach IIRC.

    This is all funny and everything, and I do think it is a terrible hire. But, people do change and learn. There is a chance Nate has grown as a coach from the bench. I am not saying he has, just that it is a possibility. He could have blown Larry away with his ideas during meetings. I doubt it, but you never know.
