Philadelphia 76ers Tickets

It been just over 10 years since the Philadelphia 76ers, with star Allen Iverson and coach Larry Brown, went all the way to the NBA Finals. Since then the Philadelphia 76ers roster has obviously undergone some major changes, and the team has been through a long list of head coaches. Not surprisingly, the results on the court have not been great as the Sixers have only won a single playoff series in the past decade. But now with an established leader like Doug Collins at the helm, and a roster that includes a mix of young talent and veteran leadership, the 76ers are on the way back up. Make sure you are there this season with Philadelphia 76ers basketball tickets.

After a pretty poor season in ’09-’10, the Sixers ended up with the second overall pick in the NBA Draft and they took Evan Turner from Ohio State. Turner had a solid rookie season, and now he’ll be looking to take the 76ers deep into the playoffs. The team will also have a new owner this year, as Erick Thohir heads a group that bought the team for a reported price tag of $280 million. The new ownership group has committed to spend the money needed to improve the Philadelphia 76ers roster and make them a contender once again. Among the other owners are Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, so you might get a chance to see them in person at the Wells Fargo Center when you have 76ers basketball tickets.

Because the Sixers play in the Atlantic Division, the Philadelphia 76ers schedule will provide plenty of chances to see them take on the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics this season. Even though the Sixers finished with a rather ordinary record of 41-41 last season, they gave the tough Miami Heat a run for their money in the first round of the playoffs. And when you consider that the Sixers started last season with a 3-13 record, that means they finished 10 games above .500 after that point. This team is clearly on the rise, so get your 76ers tickets today.
