Three years hence, I was again fortunate to have watched the home team get to the playoffs for the first time since 2008! Their second-round series was against the Eastern Conference's # 1 team, the Indiana Pacers. Though they lost the series, They were fortunate to take the series to 6 games. I was lucky to purchase game 3 tickets. This will add another milestone to my NBA-spectatorship: Playoffs baby!!!
Thanks to the powerful superzoom of my friend's 18-200mm Nikkor lens, I was able to capture some moments.

Playoffs baby!
Wizards starting lineup: Wall, Beal, Ariza, Nene, Gortat. All but Trevor Ariza will be back for 2014-15 season.
John Wall has improved tremendously this season. He was also slam dunk champion in this year's NBA All-Star Game
I hope they repeat last year's playoff run this coming season. With the addition of veteran forward Paul Pierce, looks like DC fans are in for a treat!
