Ok, so the general trend is that from the first day of the playoffs, it's 16 days (sometimes 17) until the 2nd round. This year's playoffs will start on april 11th, so I'm guessing April 27 will be the start of the 2nd round. It could be the 28th.. just depends. I'm gonna miss two of those games 'cause of Peru, most likely. hmm.. If I were you, I'd come up at the beginning of May. May 1st, probably. You could come up earlier but we won't be back until April 30th.

The trend for the conference finals is 4 days after ROund 2 unless 3 series are short and one is long, then it goes 2 days in between, 3 days for the conference who has the team that won the long round.

The Finals start 3 - 5 days after the Conference Finals end.
