If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you pray for sunshine and Seattle Supersonics playoff tickets. The Sonics are in the postseason once again, and that means that sports fans in Washington will be filling up Key Arena for every playoff home game.

Credit Public Service Union The Wizards lost the first two games of this first round Eastern Conference best-of-seven series in Chicago, playing in front of a delirious, sold-out crowd that rocked the United Center. Before Game Three on Saturday, Washington star-guard Gilbert Arenas asked Wizards fans to respond by booing the Bulls every time they touched the ball, and the jeers rained down on Chicago's players. The sold-out crowd waved white "rally towels" and cheered the Wizards enthusiastically, and Arenas appreciated it.

NFL playoff tickets have given fans of the Jets a chance to see truly legendary games, and the playoffs are an expected addition to the NFL tickets market in New York every January.

Center Credit Service Union The Wizards play their best at home, having compiled a franchise best 29-12 record this season at the MCI Center. Washington is also considered the more talented team - more athletic and with better shooters. But in the first two games, the so-called "Baby Bulls" played with more confidence and displayed a tougher, defense-oriented style.

Card Credit Service Wireless So if the Wizards want to prove their mettle, who better to be facing? The Bulls swept Washington out of the first round of the 1997 post season with three straight wins. But a Wizards fan named John says this time should be different.

Credit Security Service Union "This is a team we should be able to beat," he said. "You know, we really did not have a chance coming in as the eighth seed [in 1997] so now we are the fifth seed this time around. We should be able to win this series. I think we have the better athletes."

Credit Report Service Back in 1997 the Bulls were the best team in the NBA, led by the league's best player Michael Jordan. The Bulls won the league title in 1997 and won it again in 1998 for their sixth championship of the 1990s. But Chicago's management then decided it was time to rebuild the team. Coach Phil Jackson left and Michael Jordan retired. And like the Wizards, the Bulls have not been back to the playoffs until this year.

The following year, he returned to the court and played for two seasons. Michael Jordan filled the MCI Center with fans, but was well past his prime by then and unable to lead Washington back to the playoffs.

Christian Counseling Credit Chicago has never lost a playoff series after winning the first two games. They are 21-1 when they lead a series 2-0. But Bulls guard Chris Duhon told VOA Sports that his team learned from the loss.

Credit Federal Service Union "Just because we won two games I think we kind of relaxed a little bit and thought this one was going to be easy, and that they would not come out and try to grab it. So we did not come with the right mind set in this game. But we learned our lessons and we have to be prepared on Monday," he said.

Credit Monitoring Service It remains to be seen if the Wizards can beat the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs and advance for the first time in 23 years. Only four teams have come back to win a best-of-seven series after losing the first two games under the current 16-team format.
