The playoffs are here.
Starting Saturday, no key players sitting for rest. No players taking mental vacations for a night… well, fewer players taking mental vacations for a night. More focused game plans and the chess match of adjustments. Crowds that are into the game and loud. We’re ready for all of it.
Here is the full schedule for the first round of the playoffs. Set your DVRs accordingly.
