Hey guys, I've been working on a site that displays Pacers related tweets and organizes them based on type (i.e. players, writers, bloggers). I have plenty of players and enough bloggers, but I'm struggling with finding enough good quality writers.

Do you guys happen to know any good writers I should add? I'm looking for guys that are good at breaking news or getting creditable rumors out. Not looking so much for the guys who like to talk about non-basketball or their personal life.

The only writers I've found that seem to only cover the Pacers are:
@mg_indy
@timdonahue8p9s
@mikewellsnba
@conrad_brunner

The site can be found here if you want to see how its setup. As you can see, the twitter accounts are organized by type. So Right now I really only need writers:http://www.nbatweeter.com/pacers I'd appreciate any feedback on the site as well.

Any other writers besides the ones I'm using that you guys feels are worth adding?

Thanks again.

Those are the main ones. There's only one main beat writer for the Pacers in Indy at the Indy Star, and that's Mike Wells. You could get some opinion pieces from the Indy Star sports editorialist Bob Kravitz.

Great, glad to see I'm on track. Thanks for the help.

Kravitz looks great, I'll add him tonight. The feeds get a little funky when you change them so I do it overnight. Thank you again!

Edit: You don't know of any good blogs by the way do you? I have:
@pacersgab
@8pts9secs
@indycornrows
@indystar_pacers
@letstalkpacers

8pts, 9 seconds is pretty solid. That's about the only one I read.
