Some nuggets from Dray's twitter:
@Agent_Geo money talks I can wear watever and still beat ur moms
@LOC_LessMonsta oh well I’m a rich piece of shit so wat are u I can buy and sell u and ur family
@CharLovesUAll as ugly as u r u shouldnt say nothin
@DeeReddu should of lost money for them ugly ass kids
I officially hate him.
When I see all those tweets
All tweeted around the same time, I actually suspect there might be some truth to Blatche’s claim that it wasn’t him and his account was hacked.
For example:
oh well I’m a rich piece of shit so wat are u I can buy and sell u and ur family
Seems unlikely to me.

Agree with this..
If you look at that short time period compared to his other tweets from other times, he never talks like the ones during that time period. I think there just might be some validity to his claims that he was hacked.

seems to me that may have been a response
maybe the guy said “You’re a PIECE OF SHIT!”
and then he responded with “oh well im a rich piece of shit so wat are u i can buy and sell u and ur family”
seems like a plausible response to me
Leaping to his defense
We all know street cred is predicated on defending yourself on Twitter. Considering Dray as “keeping it real”.

He's taking the Melo "wasn't me" copout
“If anyone really thinks that was me responding yesterday is crazy I just heard of this this morning.”
At least man up to your mistakes Dray, I’ve got an island for anyone who believes all the athletes who claim their embarrassing tweets are from someone who hacked their account.
I don't know
With online stuff, I’m semi-inclined to believe it. It isn’t that hard to get access to a twitter account.
I’m more inclined to believe Dray was goofy enough to trust the wrong person with a password than that he was dumb enough to think he could post stuff like this without a backlash.
He fought McGee in public in a club
Dray has shown that he is unaware or ignores the consequences of his actions

I find it much more plausible that someone would lose their temper in a moment
than repeatedly tweet a bunch of crap.

Dray should not get the benefit of the doubt for the "someone hacked into my account" defense
He needs to do a CSI type of investigation and produce the individual that supposedly “hacked” into his account, because everyday that passes I think this guy is a true ass-clown
What's this hell I view?

This isnt actually as bad as i thought it would be before i clicked it
stupid, of course but bad/stupid things do happen, and u know what we’ve all been there where we get so angry we make bonehead moves. Dre learned his lesson, nobody got hurt. lets keep it moving
I actually might believe him
Dray’s a moron – there’s no getting around that – but all of the aggressive tweets are clustered together, and from a lazy browsing of his twitter feed, I don’t see much to suggest this is anything close to normal behavior.
Stressing, Dray’s a moron: how difficult do you think it’d be to guess his twitter password?
It fits with Dray calling into DC talkradio to defend himself
He’s demonstrated that he’s thin-skinned and publicly responds to criticisms from fans and bloggers to an extent that I don’t think many other pro athletes match. How many pro athletes spontaneously call in to a radio show and talk for 30 or so minutes to defend themselves? So the tweets really do fit that profile of someone who publicly overreacts to criticism

While his calling in has been odd, to say the least
The whole tone of those call ins is pretty different than the tweet stuff, imo.
Even idiots occasionally are not the culprit.
I hope he wasn't this moronic
A lot of athletes have someone else type tweets for him or her, so there’s some doubt here that he challenged someone to a fight thru tweeting.
Suspend him
It shouldn’t matter if his twitter was hacked or not, he is responsible for that account. It looks bad on him, the team and his league.
by ThePGPhenomenon on Feb 25, 2011 1:38 PM EST reply actions
He threatened a fan!!!!!
Don’t you think that looks bad from a business standpoint if the league does nothing about it?
by ThePGPhenomenon on Feb 25, 2011 2:11 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
No he didn't
someone using his account did. I don’t think highly of the dude but its clear to me that someone messed with his account. it ain’t that hard. Someone hacked Chris Mortenson’s account just last week.
Can you prove it was hacked?
We know that it was his account, one way or another. He should be more responsible because now he is the laughing stock of the internet. I serious doubt someone is going to hack on an account just to engage in a beef with a fan, there has to be more to this story.
by ThePGPhenomenon on Feb 25, 2011 3:04 PM EST up reply actions
can you prove it wasn't?
this is a great example of bored fans taking things to the nth degree. Now youw ant proof a player’s twitter account was hacked or the player is suspended… stop.
No I'm not taking it to nth degree
But where’s the accountability? Should we just dismiss this just because he says he was hacked? That seems crazy especially if he’s lying. There’s no way he should get away with that. Why are you being such a Blatche apologist? I’m just saying he should bare some responsibility just for the fact that it’s his account regardless of if he did it or not.
by ThePGPhenomenon on Feb 25, 2011 3:21 PM EST up reply actions
In fairness
Hack or no hack, he’s been the laughingstock of the internet for a while.
by Jake Whitacre on Feb 25, 2011 3:19 PM EST up reply actions
sure is
and due to that so many assumed this was him, and are convinced it was him, without thinking critically about it. its easy. if you told someone you saw charlie Sheen (insert embarrassing act) they’d believe you even if you made it up. doesn’t make it true.
Seems like exactly the kind of thing someone would think is a great joke
Not someone mature, but I deal with late teens/early 20s all the time, I can picture several of them finding this hysterical.
Why in the world would you suspend him if his twitter account was hacked?
What?? That makes no sense
by HIBACHI GOLD on Feb 25, 2011 2:43 PM EST up reply actions
I just explained it
At the end of the day he is still responsible for that account. It also still doesn’t explain how he had a week of comments against fans on their, which he eventually deleted. It’s just not that simple to say that this is just some tweets. This gets serious when you talking about fighting fans. I think the league is definitely going to have a problem with this.
by ThePGPhenomenon on Feb 25, 2011 2:56 PM EST up reply actions
BS
“responsible for his account”. by that logic if someone stole his car and killed someone with it he’s responsible for that death as well.
Its not like someone even needed his password if they got a hold of his phone, laptop etc. For all we know it was a teammate messing with his account.
by Jheiser3 on Feb 25, 2011 3:02 PM EST up reply actions 3 recs
Again, how do you know his account was hacked?
How do you know he’s not lying?
by ThePGPhenomenon on Feb 25, 2011 3:05 PM EST up reply actions
That's my point
You aren’t reading anything I’m saying. You’re being defensive. We can’t prove anything other than knowing that it’s his account. Should we ignore it everytime an athlete uses the ‘hacked’ defense?
by ThePGPhenomenon on Feb 25, 2011 3:22 PM EST up reply actions
It seems that you are set on believing that he posted that stuff
by HIBACHI GOLD on Feb 25, 2011 3:17 PM EST up reply actions
And even still
if he didn’t post it, then why would he delete some of the information up there and not everything that’s supposedly was added on? That doesn’t make sense, instead of deleting everything he just deletes the part that looks bad, but I’m supposed to believe he was hacked?
by ThePGPhenomenon on Feb 25, 2011 4:18 PM EST up reply actions
totally subjective
because he deleted something but not everything like you would have, BAM, you’re even more convinced. thats making up your mind first and fitting the rest in your version after the fact.
You're missing the point
If someone hacked onto my account and posted a bunch of stuff representing me, wouldn’t I delete everything that they posted? Why would I leave some of their stuff up?

What's Michael Westbrook up to these days?
Dray vs. Westbrook celebrity boxing for charity? I’d watch. Who’s with me?
Westbrook just got his black belt in BJJ
he’d choke Dray out in no time lol

Dray is a clown
first you make an ass of yourself on the radio and now twitter battles with anonymous fans…what a class act
What's this hell I view?

-wjb1492
Its probably not him
a)He literally NEVER uses twitter
b)Even if it was him who cares? What does this have to do with basketball?
Believing Dray on this one...
He’s a knucklehead but he ain’t this stupid. Look at those 4 or 5 tweets from that time period on his twitter, and then look down at the rest of his entries. This clearly wasn’t normal behavior from him on Twitter. I definitely believe him when he says it was hacked. Of course, he won’t get the benefit of the doubt here (and he probably doesn’t deserve it), but this time I’m with him.
After reading those how can you truly not think his account was hacked
I mean Dray has flaws but c’mon (and yes, I realize I am starting a whole line of “Dray picked up a prostitute” “Dray picked a fight with McGee” etc etc etc)
He does deserve the benefit of the doubt only because of how stupid those tweets were…sounds a lot more like a high schooler with too much time on his hands than an NBA player
I agree here
I don’t think he’s gonna get the benefit because of his resume of screw ups, but professional athletes have better things to do than fight back on twitter to some unknown user who’s stirring up a beef.
The guy who was challenged to a fight is laughing all about it now that he has his 15 minutes of fame…..
Blatche called the radio station to defend himself
He was whining. Blatche is the one who got shot and it was McGee who hit him, so he seems to be more the receiver than the giver. I am inclined to believe that he is still the recipient in this case. Its his history. These tweets are not in line with the way he gets in to trouble.
I will write
it is in line with the way he gets in trouble, but that he did not write the tweets.
by hambonejackson on Feb 25, 2011 3:08 PM EST up reply actions
Blatche needs to take a step back and look at the guys who he's hanging out with
maybe it’s not him so much as some of the guys around him who
I’m not necessarily pointing fingers at his closest friends, but I do feel that yeah, Dray has a knack for getting the bottom end of the stick on some of his personal activities and someone in his circle has to be a common factor in it….
This is expected.
I still want him gone ONLY because of his inability to play the game of Basketball lol.

Ah, well...
agreed…but the ‘no jerks’ policy would come into play…if it’s true…which we can hardly be sure of. But yeah…too bad about that extension.
When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.
by Bullet Nation in Exile on Feb 25, 2011 3:28 PM EST up reply actions
I can be close to sure
Blatche does not attack people. They attack him. He has a knack of putting himself into a position of being attacked. The tweets are an attack towards Blatche. His flaw is to put himself in to a position of being attacked. Being shot or hit or arrested for non-violent things. Blatche did not attack any one on radio. He was the one being assailed by people. In fact, he felt misunderstood. He was more hurt than angry. These are angry aggressive tweets and that is not Blatche.

I'm sorry, but as much as I don't like dray as a player.
There’s no way that was him. I follow him on twitter and it doesn’t sound anything like him.
Who knows though.
by DCeee on Feb 25, 2011 4:05 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I still like Dray somewhat and think there may be hope
But I’ve been as down as everyone else on him this year. That said, I really don’t believe that was him.
Why would anyone hack Andray's Twitter Account?
That is hilarious!
If your going to hack someone’s account it would be Kobe, CP3, Melo, Dwade or Lebron.
Andray Blatche? Now that is just downright silly.
