Oct. 29 is right around the corner. That is when the season tips off for the Washington Wizards as they will face the Miami Heat.
After winning their first playoff season last year since 2004-05 last season, there is a different buzz surrounding this franchise then in years past. People are legitimately excited about the Washington Wizards. Some of that buzz has worn off with Bradley Beal set to miss 6-8 weeks after injury his wrist in a preseason game earlier this month.
Even without Beal for the beginning of the season, they should be a top-4 seed in a much improved Eastern Conference and there are a variety of reasons to be excited for the Wizards 2014-15 season.
