NBA Playoffs 2017: Complete TV schedule
The 2017 NBA Playoffs are scheduled to start Saturday, April 15. Jere is the complete TV schedule released by the NBA.
The NBA Playoffs start Saturday and the conclusion to the NBA season is that much closer. With a handful of games and superstars to watch from both conferences, the NBA Playoffs serve as one of professional sports’ biggest stages.
Eyes will be fixated on the talented Washington Wizards led by John Wall, the super-team that is the Golden State Warriors and the longevity of the San Antonio Spurs under Head Coach Greg Popovich as well as several other intriguing storylines to pay close attention to.
On the other hand, perhaps this is the year that the Los Angeles Clippers (No. 4 seed) make it past the second round? Maybe Russell Westbrook gets snubbed as the MVP, but goes forward dismantling the Houston Rockets and presumptive winner James Harden? Questions will be answered regarding if the Cleveland Cavaliers played poorly to end the regular season or was it all a part of a”bigger picture” strategy from LeBron James?
Teams have rested players and the lineups are set, it’s now time for the gloves to come off. The NBA Playoffs represent two months of must-see TV for fans of the hardwood. Depending on how these series play out, fans could be in for full NBA overload, here is a list of the complete TV schedule through the NBA Finals.
