Cheap Wizards Tickets – Loads of Excitement Guaranteed

The Wizards started off in 1961. They called themselves the Chicago Packers then. They won 18 games in their first season. Though the team performed poorly, center Walt Bellamy was awarded the rookie of the year with 19 rebounds and 31.6 points per game. The following year, the award went to forward Terry Dischinger. The following season, they replaced the name to the Zephyrs. The March of 1963 saw this franchise relocating to Baltimore, Maryland and the name was changed to the Baltimore Bullets (taken after the city’s ammunition factories that had manufactured bullets for World War 2)

In the first year at Baltimore, the team came 4th amongst 5 teams of Western Division. The team reached the finals four times but could not win the championship. The then coach Dick Motta coined the famous phrase “The opera ain’t over ‘til the fat lady sings!” with this statement as their motto, The Bullets smashed the Seattle SuperSonics in seven games. They won the championship that year. It was the first time that any professional sports trophy was brought to Washington D.C. in 36 years. Even with future hall of famers in their team, like Wes Unseld and Elvin Hayes, a spell of bad games followed. At that time, even cheap Wizard tickets were not being grabbed by the fans.

Star Studded Team

Along with Unseld and Hayes, The Bullets also had Gus Johnson. He mastered the present power forward spot with his superb rebounding and great slam dunks. The team also had Earl Monroe “The Pearl”. Bullets team had the smallest player in NBA history- Muggsy Bogoues who stood 5ft 3.

In the NBA’s 1968-69 session, Bullets registered a win-loss record of 57-25 which was considered the best for the season. Unseld was awarded the most valuable player of NBA (MVP) and also the rookie of the year.

In 1981, Wes Unseld retired. Though the team played well in the regulars and it did advance to the semifinals of the Eastern Conference, but the edge of the 70s was missing. Elvin Hayes was traded to Houston Rockets in 1982. The club slowly was descending down the charts. Cheap Wizard tickets did not have many takers then as the fans were being constantly disappointed.

Bullets To Wizards

As the name Bullets signified violent overtones, the team’s name was changed to Washington Wizards in 1995. The name was chosen through a contest. The new logo was created and the team’s colors became bronze, black and blue. The club moved to MCI Center (Verizon Center) which is home to the Washington Capitals of the NHL (National Hockey League), Georgetown Hoyas basketball team and the Washington Mystics of WNBA (Washington Wizards played as the brother team of Washington Mystics in 1998). Cheap Wizard Tickets again saw an upswing in their demand.

In 2006-07 season, the Wizards played well finishing second in the Southeast Division. They were smashed in the first round playoffs by Cleveland Cavaliers.
