Pretty cool stuff. Maybe you should consider mixing up the tweets a bit though. Right now they seem to be strictly in chronological order and sometimes players shoot out 3 or 4 tweets at a time, so how about mixing it a bit so it's still in relative chronological order, but mix in other players. Not sure if that conveys what I'm thinking though.

Ah I see what you mean, cool idea! Will see what I can cook up.

Cool idea. I'm a diehard Washington Wizards fan (sad, I know) and tend to unfollow a lot of players in favor of reports/beat writers/bloggers. The tweets are just more substantive for basketball junkies. A couple of random thoughts:

1) Remove the directed tweets -- i.e. "@user blah blah blah"

2) Beat writers/bloggers act as a filter and tend to retweet interesting player tweets anyway

3) It'd be awesome to see a real-time, in-game twitter dashboard like how you're displaying things now, but with those bloggers/reporters. It can be hard to keep track of it all on a single-line twitter feed... maybe a tweet that gets a lot of "action" somehow (retweets, replies, not sure how you'd measure it) could be displayed more prominently.

Great insight, love hearing this stuff from active sports followers. Yeah I'll remove those @user posts, good call.

The real-time stuff, totally. That stuff's really exciting to think about (and build!). Anything to connect people better with their teams.
