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.

This is really awesome. One suggestion, make it more user-friendly by turning twitter handles into links, and web links as well.

I really like this! Admittedly, I am not a roundball enthusiast and know little of the sport, so take my 2-cents for what they are worth.

I've clicked around a bit, just to get a feel for the app, and it seems really nice. I love the transitions when selecting a team - very nice.. I also really like how resizing and scaling is handled - it seems that lot of effort was put into how the layout and contents shift around on resize and scale... Very nice.

One small potential enhancement (solely aesthetics) would be to apply the same UI transition behavior when clicking the site logo so that it smoothly transitions back to home just as it does when selecting a team.

In any case, Kudos! Nice looking site - I am sharing this out to my non-HN, pro-basketball, Twitter using friends!

This is awesome. I love the Celtics, but I had to go search all the players out manually when I wanted to follow them.

The only problem is most NBA players don't exactly give you...substantial...information in their many tweets.

This is great. I'd love to see this for other sports.

I built something simliar to this back in 2009 for college football coaches. I was planning on adding more for other sports as well as for players but there weren't too many using twitter back then: http://web.archive.org/web/20100325212936/http://www.coachtw...

Seems like everyone is tweeting these days and this is a much slicker interface than the one I built. Good job!
