The NBA released its playoff schedule and brackets soon after the last game of the season ended, along with the television channel you can view it on.

It has, as expected, already generated tons of responses as to who will win each series and will end up this years' NBA Basketball champ.

The first game of the playoffs will begin on Saturday at 12:30 ET, as the Cleveland Cavs take on the Washington Wizards on ESPN.

The only Saturday game during the playoffs that won't be on ESPN, will be between the Phoenix Suns and the San Antonio Spurs, which will air on ABC April 19, 3 p.m. ET.

Here's the entire first-round NBA playoff schedule
