Hey SpursTalk. I just created a Twitter account, and I usually get most of the NBA related news on reddit, but since Twitter is the fastest means of getting information (especially at this day and age), I want to know who you guys follow or recommend following.

A big reason for this is this offseason has long af and I need my NBA/Spurs fix lol.

John Schuhmann if you are interested in random stats, others I can remember are Zach Lowe, David Aldridge, Spears... For Spurs oriented news, I follow that douche Jeff McDonald and others from SAEN.

And of course, @FakeCoachPop.

@haralabob during the season

all of the guys from boxscoregeeks for random left field takes

the Spurs beat writers are OK for info but they seem to generally dislike the Spurs and other fans of the Spurs for some reason

Manu is a good follow, so is Boris. Patty just says "GAME DAY BALLA GAME DAY" 82 times a season

@n3twork

you have to follow @dril because it's @dril

Definitely the first one to follow for news about trades.

For real. These guys are generally miserable picks who hate their jobs. The only reason I follow them is for the occasional link to free newspaper articles on the spurs.

LOL. Game Day Bala Game Day. Yeah that's basically Patty's twitter feed throughout the season.

Recommendations:

defpenradio, nba, nba on espn, thescore, realgm, siriusxmnba, fansided, basketballinsiders, bballbreakdown, basketballreference bball (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=46863)ref, Tri_offense, ESPN_SA, HoopsRumors, CrossoverNBA, ComplexSports, TheCauldron, TurnerSportsPR, TodaysFastbreak, br_nba, SI_NBA, NBATV, HoopsHype, SBNationNBA, InsideHoops, SheridanHoops, DimeMag, SlamOnline

I don't know why but sometimes the spurs beat writers do seem annoyed. They do have all the up to date info though. Jeff McDonald, Dan McCarney. Matthew Tynan always has interesting stuff to say during the season. Mike Monroe is a long time Spurs reporter but he's retiring now. Buck Harvey from SAEN. Project Spurs, PaulGarciaPS, JeffGarcia, Jose Grijalva, AaronPreine...

I don't like Matt Moore so I don't follow HPBasketball or CBSSports. He just always sounds whiny about the Spurs on twitter, same with Snottie Drippen, Seth Partnow, and Nate Duncan (Well, he's a warriors writer, so).


Well, those are just some of the NBA twitter accounts that are good to follow for all the latest info. Hope that helps. You can also subscribe to some NBA news lists on twitter so it's easier.
