We are looking at an exciting weekend of Playoff basketball. There are three pivotal First Round NBA Playoff games scheduled for Friday night, followed by a TNT double header Saturday night to kick off the start of the Conference Semifinals with Game 1 of Magic vs. Pistons at 7:30 PM ET, followed by Game 1 of Spurs vs. Hornets.

UPDATE 5/3/2008: Following Friday night games, the schedule for Sunday has been set. ABC will feature a double header starting with Game 7 Celtics vs. Hawks at 1:00 PM ET, followed by Game 1 Lakers vs. Jazz at 3:30 PM ET.

After tonights games, the schedule will be set for Sunday. We already know that there weill be a least two games broadcast on ABC at 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM ET. If a third game is necessary, TNT will air the matchup Sunday night. ABC has first choice for the Sunday games, and there is no word yet on what their contingency plans are.

We expect the full Second Round NBA Playoffs Schedule to be set after tonights games. As soon as we get it, we will post it.
