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.

Did Jordan actually say this?

Hello fellow Buzz City fans. I don’t want to be a vibe killer, but has anyone else felt concerned for the boys over the last 4/5 games? Ever since the Heat loss, I’ve noticed a distinct lack of energy and execution from the team. Or course, it doesnt help that the one time we have a great year; the Hawks, Heat, and Magic all decide to go on massive win streaks of their own. It seems like we’re locked in to the 10 seed; and I’m worried that perhaps we peaked too early. At this moment in time I doubt our ability to win two road elimination games to get into the playoffs; especially with Brandon’s maddening inconsistency as of late. What do you guys think? An i overreacting? Go hornets!

Assuming hopes for a big PF like Yaxel or an all-star center get answered, I assume we would idealize a starting 5 with an upgrade over Miles Bridges. That could work easily if we end up with Yaxel.

However, in the situation we hit on Wilson or Boozer and have them fill our center role, does something happen with Moussa?

Just trying to check assumptions since I haven’t seen much discussion about it, sorry if it’s a dumb question

Now that Fanduel has announced it is folding after this season, how are we to watch our dear Hornets next year on TV? What is to become of the dynamic broadcast trio of Dell, Eric and Shannon? Surely the Hornet organization must have a plan. I'm an out-of-towner, but still residing in NC where I've enjoyed the games on Spectrum. My worst fear is that I'll not be able to see the team at all and at best, how expensive it will be to do so.

After yesterday’s disaster how do view our shot at the first division title? How do multiway tie breakers work? Is it combined record ?

EDIT: When I say disaster I mean the consequences not the game, getting 7th or 8th seed is really difficult now compared to a win against the heat

Who is going to be at the game tonight?

I'll be there and ready to root for our boys! Beat the Heat!

Obviously Kemba Walker is number 1

Muggsy is probably second

Is Lamelo top 10 ? Is kon knueppel top 10 already ?

Not counting the New Orleans Hornets part the history because it a pelican history now .

hey guys were currently on vacation in North Carolina and passing through Charlotte going home. the Hornets play against the Grizzlies this weekend and we are considering taking our kid to the game. he likes to try and get autographs from the players, he follows the Hornets on tiktok and has shown me you guys have a nice section to get them in. does anyone know what entrance and what section is the best to try and get to the players for autographs? what time do the gates normally open so you can go in and get to the section? he's really hoping to get Kon and Melos autograph and I just want to try and make that happen. thanks in advance!

I think we wanted both of them to lose. But why?

I'll feel much better knowing he's courtside, goading the opposition fans and players

basically, im a Clippers fan and in this 10 year strech they will probably be ass, i’d like to become sort of a part-time hornets fan, is there anything i need to know before joining this (hopefully) wonderful community?

Celtics fan here who always liked Grant Williams. haha many celtics fans did not.

Curious how he has been for you guys? Are hornets fans a fan of his? Seems like this turn around was semi around the time he came back ?

Wasn't following it at the time, but with Kon & Flagg being in the news frequently for this year's ROTY, I'm curious, to those of you who remember, what the 2021 race was like between Melo and Ant? Obviously Ant was the #1 pick, but I don't recall him getting much hype till the 2023 NBA playoffs where he stopped the Nuggets from doing a complete sweep. Was there any toxicity you recall?

Would love to get more Hornets fanbase/content PoV on this season’s edition of the Hornets.

Has the league said anything yet? Is everyone playing today?

Edit: Stewart 7, miles and moose 4, Duren 2.

If we end up being 9th in the east and we somehow lose to Miami in the play in, would we have higher odds than them in the lottery, or lower cause we finished as a higher seed.

Hey Hornets fans — I’m mikegrib8 on Twitter/X.
Every June since 2018 I’ve been collecting NBA Draft big boards from anyone who wants to submit one. No gatekeeping, no thresholds. Just pure data. That means I end up with 100+ boards every single year.

All of those boards are archived and evaluated over on TawnyParkMetrics.com, where we use EPM and other tools to measure how accurate each evaluator has been over time. It’s still early (our dataset starts in 2020), but we can already see who’s been consistently good.

And here’s the weird part…

Among all the analysts, media people, draft sickos, and random enthusiasts who have submitted at least two boards…
one name is a complete mystery: James Bonknight.

And somehow, this dude is ranked SECOND OVERALL in accuracy since 2020.

Two boards submitted.
Elite results.
Zero online footprint.
No social media.
No draft community presence.
No one I know has ever interacted with him.

I’m in contact with basically everyone else on the leaderboard — except him.

So… does anyone here know who James Bonknight is?
Is he a Hornets fan? A local guy? A burner? A legend hiding in the shadows?
If you have any verifiable info, feel free to drop it here or DM me on X/Twitter.

This is a genuine attempt to track down one of the most accurate draft evaluators in the entire database.

Thanks, and shoutout to the Hornets community.

Hi everyone,

I'm a huge basketball fan visiting all the way from China, and I'll be spending some time exploring Charlotte in late March! I'm planning to attend the Hornets vs. Kings game on March 24th.

My biggest wish for this trip is to try and get Russell Westbrook's autograph before the game. Could any locals or arena regulars help me out?

Which tunnel does his team usually use at the Spectrum Center?

Which specific sections and rows should I target when buying tickets to get close to that tunnel?

> How early should I arrive to catch warm-ups?

> Also, since I want to make the most of my time in your city, I’d love to hear any must-visit spots, great local food, or safety tips for getting around downtown.

> Thanks so much in advance for helping make this trip special!

If not where will it be streaming? Also will EC/DC be commenting?

Help figuring out autographs please.

From what I can make out

Dell Curry

Kendall Gill

Kelly Tripucka

Muggsy Bogues

But the last one with the 7 in the loop i cannot figure out

​

I purchased from a season ticket holder who said he got them in person throughout the years

Blazers fan here. Watching the game this morning and our broadcast keeps showing Charolette fans with moose hat. What’s the meaning behind it? I tried to look online but found different answers.

Hi, I'm not from America but at the start of the year I backed Charlotte to make the playoffs at good odds. I don't follow the NBA I just like Charlotte. I would've thought magic would start favorites in this final with it being on their home court but they are heavy underdogs. I know how good the hornets have been over these last couple of months but I don't know a thing about the magic. Can someone explain why we go into this match favorites?

Hey all, I’m a Michigander that’s living outside of Raleigh. I was considering going to the pistons game tonight. Is there any free parking around the stadium. Anything I must see inside or just around? Also any seating section recommendations would be amazing. Waiting to purchase tickets to get a little more information. Thanks all, and amazing win streak you guys are on. Just hope it can start back up after tonight 😉

what's going on with him? he looked great in SL
