Playoff basketball is back!
It's been a long regular season (177 days, to be exact), but the postseason has arrived, and it looks a lot different than it did a year ago. For the first time since 2010, a team not led by LeBron James will emerge from the Eastern Conference, and for the first time since 2005, James will not be involved in the festivities.
As for the players, teams and matchups to know, well, we've got you covered.
1. Golden State Warriors
2018-19 record: 57-25
