So it’s that time of the year again, where all Aussie NBA fans are madly scrambling to find out which NBA playoff games are being shown and where.  Last year we were spoiled with full coverage of both Conference Finals (thanks to One HD and ESPN), as well as a scattering of good games from the first two rounds.  This year should be no different.

The full schedules haven’t been released, but this is what we know so far from scouring the TV guides. Note: these are Melbourne times, subtract/add whatever hours necessary for your other Aussie cities.
