2009 NBA Conference Semifinal Schedule

A couple things that I do not like about the NBA playoffs is the unbearable length of the first round and that they start and schedule the 2nd round games sometimes before the first round is over. I do not understand why they cannot wait a day or so, but alas, with the western conference semifinals starting tomorrow, I should get the schedules (or at least what has been released of them) up ASAP. And as always, this will be updated on a daily (or almost daily basis) with the scores of each game so instead of navigating the NBA website, you can just click on the sidebar link (this also helps me keep track of what is going on in each series seeing as I learn a lot by writing it out). Enough about me, though, here is the 2009 NBA Conference Semifinal schedule! (all times eastern)
