The NBA and NHL playoffs have both arrived, and the schedules for the two teams from Boston have some serious overlap.
According to Conor Ryan of Boston.com, the Celtics and Bruins play on the same day in four of their possible seven games in the first round.
Most notable comes Tuesday night, when the Celtics and Bruins are each scheduled for Game 2.
The Celtics tip off at 7 p.m. that night at home. The Bruins drop the puck at 7:30 p.m. that night on the road.
It certainly seems a scheduling setup that could’ve been done at least a little better.

Who do the Celtics play?
The Celtics are the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and open up against the 7-seed Philadelphia 76ers.
Boston will be favored in this series.
The Celtics have looked very strong this season, and then getting Jayson Tatum back late in the regular season made them even more dangerous.
Who do the Bruins play?
The Bruins are matched up with the Buffalo Sabres.
Buffalo is the better seed and so hosts the first two games of the series.
It’s the Sabres’ first playoff action since April 2011, while the Bruins have been there, done that. They’ll hope that experience matters.
