This is great. Thank you!
My pleasure!
The UI is very nice, I am really impressed. What did you use to make that ?

#22Cool 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…
I'll definitely back up the desire to see feeds of reporters and bloggers rather than, or in addition to, players.
For example, I'm a Cavs fan. Big news right now is the Cavs' search for a new head coach. I'm much more interested in that than I am C.J. Miles' desire to get "custom car stuff" done, which is what his last tweet was about :) But players aren't going to be tweeting about the coaching search, most likely.

#23It looks like someone [1] already had a similar idea, but I like the interface of tweetsfc over Hashtag Basketball. Your site looks a lot more professional. Its also nice to see the follow links to each player's twitter. I will be sharing this with my other NBA-fan friends!

#26Looks awesome! Great idea and execution. I tweeted it at Jalen Rose and Bill Simmons.
Minor things:
- You're throwing a bunch of log statements right now. Might be taking down the javascript in IE (I didn't see if you wrapped `console.log`).
- Remember, `this.$el` can replace `$(this.el)` (gotta love those convenience methods, I see you're using `this.$(selector)`).
- Also, UnderscoreJS provides `_.isUndefined` and `_.has` which is a little nicer than the `typeof foo.bar !== undefined` test.

#27Cool stuff, do you have an open-source version? I'd love to use this type of format for similar stuff I'm working on.
Check out http://isotope.metafizzy.co/ created by David DeSandro. You'll be able to do just about everything you see with it :)

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
True, this is the case for individual tweets but not in the list view, noted.

#29I 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…
Hey thanks for the tip, noted. Glad you enjoy it!

#30Couldn't this work for everything else as well? Curated lists for different gatherings of people?
"Everyone playing in this golf tourney/chess tourney" "Everyone on the set of Game of Thrones/The Walking dead" "Every CEO of Fortune 500"
