There will be no Golden State Warriors or Sacramento Kings in the NBA Playoffs, but for local fans of the 16 teams that did make it, we'll have you covered here at SB Nation Bay Area.
The NBA TV schedule for the first few games of the NBA Playoffs has been released, and this weekend will start with the team with the best record in the NBA, the Chicago Bulls.
