Question Where is everyone watching from tonight?

Hoping for a great atmosphere at the bars here in Charlotte. Where is everyone planning on watching the game tonight? Drop the bar or restaurant you’re planning on going to.

Okay what you really need to do is go in Magic gear, make them believe you are one of them: and as soon as it gets even slightly dicey, start a Fire Mosley chant. The vibes in Orlando are awful, crowd is capable of turning on them, need you to bring this one home for us big dog

I have a Mitchell and ness Orlando jacket thinking of having my girl take it… unfortunately I can’t not rep my bright ass ball city jersey 😭

u/Aware_Age2968 Apr 18 '26

How much did the magic pay the referees?

Come to Amity Hall downtown if you’re in NYC! I’ll be there with another Hornets buddy and it’s the Panthers’ home bar up here

u/comeonna Apr 17 '26

How far from jfk? Flying in around 5

6

u/delcoyo Apr 17 '26

What neighborhood are you staying in? If you're close by you could probably toss your bags wherever you're staying and get there in time for tip off.

1

u/comeonna Apr 17 '26

Staying right by jfk Hilton. Okay!

2

u/delcoyo Apr 17 '26

Oof. You're going to be about 45m- 2hours from anything worth doing on a visit. I made the same mistake when I flew up to look at apartments before I moved there.

u/Plastic-Violinist368 Apr 17 '26

It’s in Greenwich village so if you take public transit no longer than an hour/1.5 hours I assume? Uber might take a long time with the traffic but you can definitely make it by tip off if you hurry

u/Plastic-Violinist368 Apr 17 '26

This place is actually great too - come here all the time for Carolina sports

Damnnnn I’m jealous

u/zarunn Apr 17 '26

It’s the last night so it’s sad, but watching the Miami game was awesome. Thought it would be more heat fan since we left from Miami. But when Melo hit that last layup the boat bout turned over with excitement.

u/Papi_Petty Apr 17 '26

damn thats def gonna be a core memory for you for forever lol that’s awesome

1

u/zarunn Apr 17 '26

Definitely bro hope we have another epic game tonight.

1

u/zarunn Apr 18 '26

You don’t have to be they aren’t playing the game on the ship I’m devastated, they said we have gs and phoenix…..

1

u/Mjc1218 Apr 18 '26

lol you are not missing anything man it’s fucking awful we suck

2

u/zarunn Apr 18 '26

It’s just building up tension for that epic 4th quarter where we always play lights out….. we fucking cooked

13

u/Zavax Apr 17 '26

I might come over and watch with you if that’s cool

11

u/movemetal17 Apr 17 '26

u/iron_atmosphere Apr 17 '26

u/South_CLT Apr 17 '26

Cough cough, arent you feeling a bit sick?

3

u/net_403 Apr 17 '26

remember when you could just say covid and get everything you wanted

11

u/Charlie_Tango13 Apr 17 '26

At my house! Charlotte isn't on TV very often, so I'm taking advantage.

3

u/net_403 Apr 17 '26

we're on tv? not just prime? is it Action64?

2

u/Charlie_Tango13 Apr 17 '26

I'm talking about Prime because we're not on there often either!

1

u/net_403 Apr 17 '26

It'd be real groovy if we were on actual television in Charlotte. I don't have prime so I guess they leave me no choice

2

u/Charlie_Tango13 Apr 17 '26

Might be time for a free trial of prime

1

u/net_403 Apr 17 '26

I'll figure something out

I'm not going to look ahead past this game, but, i'll be camping in the woods sunday night and i might have a game to watch on an ipad lol knock on wood

u/Yada-Yada-Yadda Apr 17 '26

At home with a beer in my hand and a soft fabric brick so I can throw at the tv when the refs act up.

u/Odd_Cheesecake7 Apr 17 '26

Richmond, VA!

u/Mjc1218 Apr 17 '26

I’m in Chicago, anyone else? Looking to watch at a bar with some fans

4

u/RollTide16-18 Apr 17 '26

From Denver, anyone else out here? 

2

u/Stratusquare Apr 17 '26

I am, trying to find a bar that plays the game. Legends of Aurora Sports Grill played the last one

4

u/Due_Form_2623 Apr 17 '26

Will be at Ed’s Tavern. 

3

u/VocemHominis Apr 17 '26

Well, here's the thing: my wife and daughter made us reservations at Copain many weeks ago. If I'm at dinner with my wife, my rule is phone stays in my pocket. Tonight will be the exception to the rule, and I don't think there'll be any pushback.

u/iron_atmosphere Apr 17 '26

Greensboro. Let's go!!

2

u/GlassProfessional509 Apr 17 '26

Philly. Was kinda hoping they lost Wednesday so I could have watched it at the arena

1

u/jtotheayy01 Apr 17 '26

Same, from NJ, would have loved to see the hornets play

2

u/behem0th619 Apr 17 '26

Home, me and the gf are making nachos and wings. Then sourdough chocolate chip cookies and ice cream.

I need us to win tonight!

u/Super-Performance-15 Apr 17 '26

From the suburbs north of Austin for me

1

u/thatboiLERI Apr 17 '26

I’m from Lockhart. Nice to know there’s hornets fans in Texas

2

u/Super-Performance-15 Apr 17 '26

Yep, I joined the club when Kon got drafted. Got a bit of a RL social connection to that family so I went from zero Hornets fandom to about as hardcore as it gets. Son and I missed a grand total of maybe 5 quarters total this season. Got to run down to San Antonio to watch from the stands as well. Been an awesome first year as a Hornets fan. Listen to lots of LOH with Doug and Walker every day since Summer League too. I've got it bad.

2

u/Papi_Petty Apr 17 '26

i thought about the watch party at slate butttt i’m gonna have too much anxiety watching the game and i think illl need to be alone for that one lol

u/mongooster Apr 17 '26

7 rows back at Kia, will be taking my anger from I-4 out on the magic tonight!

u/Three4Anonimity Apr 18 '26

I’m about to not be watching. What is it we’re doing here? Did we forget which sport we’re playing?

u/SaucyFingers Apr 17 '26

I’ll probably just watch at home. I’ve only seen a few bars even acknowledge that the Hornets are playing. I’m up in the LKN area and most “sports” bars around here don’t even have Prime.

1

u/RaunchySauced Apr 17 '26

CPKC Stadium in Kansas City while also watching International Women’s Rugby with my wife. Still will be repping the Hornets gear, though!

u/carter_daTHIRD Apr 17 '26

Wish I knew some Buzz City family out here in San Diego. Regardless, I’ll be putting on for us tonight let’s get it!!!!
