Charlotte playoffs crowds this season >
Panthers and Hornets both have shown the world Charlotte is a great sports city. We just need consistent success in our city.
The 2026 Charlotte Hornets will enter the NBA Play-in as the 9th seed with 44 wins.
In years past, 44 wins would land you:
2025: 44 wins= 6th seed
2024: 44 wins= 9th seed
2023: 44 wins= 7th seed
2022: 44 wins= 7th seed
2021: 44 wins= 7th seed
2020: 44 wins= 7th seed
Madden Orlovsky had a heartfelt message for his family and friends in honor of World Autism Awareness Day 🥹
This was a special moment for all of us at ESPN. Thanks, Madden and @danorlovsky7 ❤️
That right there is why this format is AWFUL, how many times do we need to see this happen.
Losers bracket team coming in hot against the iced Winners bracket team, with no real advantage to make up for it. Just a free map.
It needs to change.
