The NBA's second round dates were tentative, but now, the dates are set and the series are ready to go. Here are all the schedules for all the playoff games to take place in the second round of the conference semifinals.
Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls
This series takes off on Monday evening as Game 1 tips off at 7 p.m. ET. The Heat are the obvious heavy favorite as they get set to face a weaker and injured Bulls squad. However, the Bulls were the team that ended Miami's 27-game win streak though they aren't the same team as they are missing some of their personnel, look for them to be confident as they look to stop the league's MVP and a very dynamic bench in the second round.
