Just suppose Rockets are in the playoffs, when will they start play?

The reason I'm asking is I will be out of the country from 4/1 to 4/19 and will miss the rest of the season for sure.

Now if they start the playoffs on the weekend after the last game, then I'm toast since I won't be back till Monday the 19th.

Does anyone know how the playoff schedules works?

Since the Rockets are not going to get homecourt in the first round, if I miss the first 2 games away wouldn't be that bad since they are likely to lost those anyway.

And no, I would not have good internet access so while I might be able to check in once in a while, I would have a chance to do it everyday.
