Good beat writers for the Clippers? 

Post#1 » by NBAtweeter » Fri May 11, 2012 8:42 pm

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

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 Clippers are:
@madelynburke
@ba_turner
@danwoikesports
@latimessports
@fosterdj




If you want clarification on how the site works you can check my signature. I'd appreciate any feedback on the site as well.

Any other writers besides the ones I'm using that you guys feel are worth adding? On a side note, if you have bloggers besides:
@clippersteve
@clipperbloglive
@clipperfeedr

I'd appreciate that as well.

Thanks again!

... and thanks again. A couple other good ones to throw in there. I'll update them tonight, feeds get out of whack when I change them.

Thanks again for taking the time and helping out.

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
