Washington Wizards Tickets
The team entered the NBA in the 1961-62 season as the Chicago Packers, winning only 18 games in its first season. Despite the poor start, the team boasted talented rookie center Walt Bellamy, who averaged 31.6 points and 19 rebounds per game and won the league's rookie of the year award. Forward Terry Dischinger won the award a year later. The franchise briefly changed its name to the Zephyrs for the 1962-63 season, but in March of that year the team moved to Baltimore and became the Bullets in honor of the area's ammunition factories, which had produced bullets during World War II (1939-1945).
The Bullets then drafted Gus Johnson, who defined the modern power-forward position with tough rebounding and overwhelming slam dunks. In Baltimore the team improved, qualifying for the playoffs in 1965 and 1966. Two last-place finishes followed, but those years also featured the selections of guard Earl 'The Pearl' Monroe and Wes Unseld in the NBA draft.
With new talent, the Bullets improved dramatically, registering the NBA's best win-loss record for the 1968-69 season, at 57-25. The team qualified for the playoffs, and Bullets coach Gene Shue was named NBA coach of the year. That season Unseld won both the NBA most valuable player (MVP) and rookie of the year awards.
In 1970-71 the Bullets recorded a 42-40 win-loss record in the regular season to win its division. The team then defeated the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks to advance to the NBA Finals. There they were defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks in four straight games. The Bullets' success continued throughout the early 1970s, although they traded Monroe to the New York Knicks before the 1971-72 season. In the 1974-75 season the team began playing as the Washington Bullets, in Washington, D.C. That year, Unseld and Elvin Hayes, who was acquired from the San Diego Rockets, led the team to the division title as the Bullets put together a 60-22 record. They advanced to the NBA Finals, where they were swept by the Golden State Warriors.

Washington Wizards 2009-10 Season Preview
|
 There is no question that the Washington Wizards struggled last year without their injured star, Gilbert Arenas. Now Arenas is back and healthy again, the Wizards are capable of going deep in the playoffs. In addition to the leader's return, and in order to address a void in the backcourt alongside him, the Wizards have acquired Randy Foye as well as Mike Miller from the Timberwolves, and if Arenas, Antawn Jamison, and Caron Butler, all stay healthy in 2009-2010, Washington could very well be one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. There is no doubt that the Washington Wizards go as Gilbert Arenas goes; no Gilbert, no chance. That is the easiest and most honest explanation for last year's disappointing 19-win season, which started 4-23 while improving only marginally afterward. There is no doubt that Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison gave their best efforts for a team which also lost its coach, Eddie Jordan, early in the season. Unfortunately, while under the guidance of interim coach Ed Tapscott, the Wizards still could not generate much of anything in the way of improvements, especially on defense. If ever there was a fitting time to write off an entire season without having taken away a single positive message, Washington's 2009-20096 campaign seems to fit the mold. With a healthy Arenas back at the Verizon Center, the Wizards have every chance of returning to the playoffs and making waves for the rest of the East. New coach Flip Saunders should flourish with the Wizards where expectations may be somewhat downgraded compared to what he was up against in Detroit, and truth be told Washington now has the superstar and the coach needed to continue play into the month of May and quite possibly June. With a new coach on the bench, a healthy superstar returning to the floor, and a wealth of young talent surrounding them both, the Washington Wizards will be a seriously competitive team this year. Check the schedule and get your tickets to come watch the team climb the Eastern Conference ladder this season, while packing The Phone Booth in Washington D.C.
