Memphis Grizzlies Tickets

Until last season the Memphis Grizzlies had a mostly forgettable history. The team started out as the Vancouver Grizzlies and were simply dreadful on the court with their first four seasons ending with win totals of 15, 14, 19 and 8 (although that last one was a strike-shortened season). Whether the NBA wasn’t right for that part of Canada or the team just didn’t show enough on the court to merit fan support is open for debate, but the team relocated to Memphis for the ’01-’02 season and almost instantly got better. The team also sold a lot more Grizzlies basketball tickets, and now it looks like the franchise has turned the corner and is ready to bring a consistent winner to the city of Memphis.

Just two seasons after moving to Memphis, the Grizzlies made their first playoff appearance, and in fact had a streak of three straight seasons in the NBA playoffs. The only problem was that the team went a combined 0-12 in those three NBA playoff appearances and then went four more years before finally making it back to the playoffs last season. After posting a solid record of 46-36 during the regular season, the Grizzlies upset the heavily favored San Antonio Spurs in the first round. That caused a tremendous surge in the popularity of Memphis Grizzlies tickets, and the FedEx Forum became an intimidating place to play even for a veteran team like the Spurs. Then it was on to the second round to face Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Even though the Grizzlies ultimately lost the thrilling seven-game series, they established themselves as a legitimate contender for the Western Conference title and with that experience under their belt will be a dangerous team this season. The Memphis Grizzlies roster includes plenty of star power with the likes of Zach Randolph, O.J. Mayo and Rudy Gay, and this team figures to get better ever season for the next couple of years.
