The Bulls, with the best record in the NBA during the regular season, begin what we hope is a run to the NBA title this afternoon. The Blackhawks have the day off before game three of their series with the Canucks tomorrow, but there's plenty of NHL playoff action on TV, as well as the Cubs and White Sox continuing their current series. All times Central.
