Accessing tweets from Twitter API

I need help making this code more efficient but still functions the same, such as by making it access the Twitter API fewer times. When I run this code for like 1 min, I get an error from Twitter saying that it exceeds limits.

List tweets = result.getTweets();

       for (Status tweet : tweets) {

            if(!(tweet.getUser().getScreenName().toString().equals("gh") || tweet.getUser().getScreenName().toString().equals("gh"))){

                boolean found = false;

                List Stats=  tw.getHomeTimeline();
                for (Status StatList : Stats) {  

                    if(StatList.getTweetText().equals(tweet.getTweetText())){   
                        found = true;
                        break;
                        try {
                            System.out.println(tweet.getUser().getScreenName() );

                            Thread.sleep(2000);
                        } catch(InterruptedException ex) {
                            Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
                        }
                    }else{
                        // nothing here                    
                    }
                }
                if (found) // you can move this and the initialisation(boolean found = false) out side the upper if statement
                    System.out.println("false");
                else
                    System.out.println("turn");

            }else{
                System.out.println("blocked");
            }
        }

Just a few hints that might better the code:

-
If you tend to access a structure for a given element multiple times with an operation on it, extract it in a local variable:

tweet.getUser().getScreenName() // If its String, toString not required.

-
Have try..catch for statements that can cause the exception i.e put this out

System.out.println(tweet.getUser().getScreenName() );

-
As your comment states, put the boolean out with the two states and have minimal print statements. If its for debugging, add comments or debug flag.

• Having try..catch after break? Please check.

-
Check if tweets is null after

List tweets = result.getTweets();

-
Check if tweet is null inside the for loop.

• Apply (5) and (6) for Stats as well.
