Tweet this: Bucks coach not fond of Villanueva's Twittering at halftime

But by Sunday night, he made it clear in subsequent posts that he was getting "some beef" about his post.

"The halftime twitt actually motivated me," he posted. "That's why I did it, plus of course to keep you guys in the loop of some live action."

Skiles said Tuesday that he didn't necessarily think Villanueva's post was a sign that he wasn't paying attention -- but he knows some people could take it that way.

"I think a reasonable person could look at that either way," Skiles said. "And I'm a pretty reasonable guy. And so the answer is no, not necessarily. But I also know from the comments I've gotten from some people in the game that there could be people who think it's a sign. We just want to distance ourselves, that's all."

Skiles said Villanueva would not be fined for the incident but said it was a "no-brainer" that players shouldn't be doing such things from the locker room any more.

"My personal opinion is, it doesn't have any place in the locker room," Skiles said. "The locker room's a private place for the players, a sanctuary for the players. But once you walk out of the locker room or whatever, I'm not into getting into guys' personal lives."

Celtics coach Doc Rivers admitted to being clueless about Twitter and about Villanueva's actions.

Do you know what Twitter is, Rivers was asked? "No."

Do you know what Facebook is? "Yeah."

When it was explained that Twitter is like Facebook, Rivers said, "During the game?"

"Yeah, well, I have no comment. New generation."

Villanueva said he has been on Twitter for about two months and enjoys interacting with fans. He had more than 1,600 "followers" subscribing to his feed as of Tuesday afternoon.

Still, he seemed surprised by the attention he was drawing with the Bucks preparing for another tough opponent Wednesday night.

"We're talking about Twitter here," Villanueva said. "We should be worried about Orlando."
