I don't post much on here but I check it a million times a day like a lot of people. It's one of the tabs that stays open on my phone no matter what. Haha well I finally joined twitter and so I'm looking for a short list of must follows for pels news. Any suggestions are welcome.

Scott Kushner

The Pelicans coverage is shite besides him and Fletch.

Kushner.
McNamara

I do follow all of the Bourbon Street Shot guys and Bird Writes guys...but their personal twitter accounts are pretty much them bitching about Trump ad naseum so I am thinking about unfollowing most of them. I don't give two fricks what anyone thinks about politics. I followed them for Pels news and analysis.

Agree 100%. That crap got old a long time ago. I stopped following Fisher because of his constant political posts.

Yeah Kushner, MM, and Oleh are all pretty good follows. Justin Verrier was a good one too before ESPN canned him.

Shams Charania
Bobby Marks
Marc Spears

Much appreciated. Is MM @silverandmac? Googled it and it's not popping up with his name but it's the top one.

Local reporters are:

Kushner
Jim Eichenhofer
Will Guillory

Then there are the blog guys from Bourbon Street Shots and The Bird Writes:
BSS
TBW

For national guys on the Pels, the only ones I would trust for news are:
Mark Stein
Shms Charania

Also if you ahve instagram, I would follow Jason Summerlin. HE posts great workout videos of AD, Qpon, Solo and others regularly.

I find Jake hit or miss. I guess he is better than many though.

I unfollowed all those clowns at BSS and TBW with the quickness when their basketball discussions were quickly replaced by political crap.

Fletcher is complete garbage. Can't believe you would suggest him.

Ginsburg dude is by far the worst but I've learned to laugh it off. I'll just never understand anyone putting their political views out there for the world to see. It accomplishes nothing and you never know who is reading it and how it could affect you later. My pels season ticket rep does the same thing and it baffles me.

Fletcher Mackel? He's the biggest dumbass out there. I don't even know how he's employed with all his takes. If it were up to him we would trade Rondo for Luke Babbit or Jimmer Fredette as soon as possible

After they got on the, "why would you not want political opinions of guys who know the CBA" stance I unfollowed. frickin nerds.

Madison is well rounded and MM still "gets it" more than any of the others

I usually ignore it, but every once in a while I think, "Are these people not self-aware enough to realize that others follow them for their basketball coverage, and couldn't give a shite less about their political views?"
