Below is tonight's playoff schedule and open thread, but first, here's what went up on the site today.

• Our "Countdown To The Lottery" series kicks off with Bullet Nation in Exile discussing the difference between expectations and promises.
• As of now, it looks like we have two upsets in today's two #QUOTESANITY matchups.
• Today's links feature JaVale McGee gleefully fooling all of us into believing he got pet platypuses.
• Today's "Better Know A Free Agent" is for Indiana Pacers guard George Hill, who is also playing tonight.
• Today's draft profile is of UConn big man Andre Drummond.
• Today's player evaluation poll is for Mo Evans.

Onto tonight's schedule. Once again, I'll be live-blogging on SBNation.com.

Pacers Vs. Heat, Game 2: How will the Heat play without Chris Bosh? I think they'll struggle, but we'll see if that holds true. (7 p.m., TNT).

Spurs vs. Clippers, Game 1: All signs point to a Spurs blowout, but keep in mind that they do sometimes struggle with great power forwards, and Blake Griffin's right up there assuming he plays to his capabilities. (TNT, 9:30 p.m.)
