I’ve been to half a dozen Hornets games in the last couple of weeks. They’ve ranged from pretty quiet (against the Wiz) to loud as all holy hell (against the Suns). It really all depended on how many people were in attendance but even during sellouts, the crowd took its cues from the PA

What did he win?!
From the looks of the picture, a blow job from a Mexican midget.

I hear that it can get loud in Dallas….and people seem to be crazy for the Rockets in Houston.

Out in Sac-Town, they used to get rowdy.

I’m sure the crowds are hype in Boston this year….and Utah fans are good.

Not sure about San Antonio.

But after that, yes, you might struggle to find a college basketball-like atmosphere, much less foreign pro-basketball, in the NBA.

The last time I went to a Wiz game, I left sometime in the third quarter to go do something fun.

As for Charlotte’ atmosphere, I’d say it’s quite similar. Kiss Cam is probably the most exciting part of the game. Although I’ve only viewed the action from the luxury suite (no big deal), so I managed to enjoy myself.

Chris, how does Charlotte’s atmosphere compare to D.C.’s? Aside from that Rufus on Fire guy, I gotta think the two are pretty similar.

Coach, yeah, playoffs are a different story. I was in the nosebleeds for Wiz-Cavs two years ago and it was a good crowd. Not “incredible,” but good.

The only two NBA arenas I have been to are the (then) MCI Center (haven’t been back since 2000), and Staples Center. I would compare the the regular season games at Staples favorably to anything I’ve seen in DC, but since the Wizards/Bullets were never in the playoffs when I was around, I can’t compare playoff crowds. I went to the Lakers-Suns playoff series two years ago, and it was incredible — an impressive pre-game spectacle (no surprise that they do theatrics well in LA), and the crowd was crazy and loud the entire game. That’s my west coast report…

I’ve never seen Unsilent Majority more excited than he is in that photo. What did he win?!
