Washington Wizards Tickets

The last few seasons have been pretty tough for fans of the Washington Wizards, as the team has averaged about 23 wins and hasn’t even been close to making the NBA playoffs. But with a new owner in Ted Leonsis, who also owns the Washington Capitals of the NHL, and a future superstar in John Wall, things are finally starting to look better in D.C. Leonsis has already pledged to put up the money it will take to turn this team back into a playoff contender. So take a look at the Washington Wizards basketball schedule and order your tickets today.

Last season the Wizards were actually a pretty good team when they played at home at the Verizon Center, where they posted a respectable record of 20-21, including a perfect 4-0 mark at home in the final month of the season. The problem, however, was that the Wizards were a dreadful road team with a record of 3-38. It’s almost hard to believe that a team could have such different records at home and on the road, but that’s indicative of a young team and that’s certainly what coach Flip Saunders has with the Washington Wizards roster. But with John Wall improving with every game, and plenty of young talent around him, this looks like a team that could pull off some surprises in the Eastern Conference and might just be able to sneak into the playoffs. You can see whether that happens when you buy Washington Wizards basketball tickets from GoTickets.

The Wizards ended up with three picks among the first 34 in the ’11 NBA Draft, and they selected Jan Vesely from the Czech Republic, Chris Singleton from Florida State and Shelvin Mack from Butler. Along with some of their other recent draft picks, the Wizards appear to have the building blocks to return to their former glory of the 70s, when they captured the NBA Finals in ’78. Of course the turnaround will still take a little time, but this season could be the first step in that direction. You can be part of it all with Washington Wizards tickets.
