The NBA Playoffs are underway and the next game is
The NBA Playoffs are underway and the next game is on April 17th at 8:00pm. The Warriors will be playing the Pelicans in what promises to be an exciting matchup.
The second round of the NBA playoffs are set to begin
The second round of the NBA playoffs are set to begin on Wednesday, April 24. The Golden State Warriors will take on the Houston Rockets in what is sure to be an explosive match-up. These two teams met three times during the regular season, with the Warriors winning two out of three games.
The conference finals are just around the corner
The conference finals are just around the corner, with the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets facing off in the West, and the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers doing battle in the East. The schedule for those series has not yet been announced, but we do know that the first games will be played on May 15, with the potential for a seventh game on May 28.
The NBA Finals are the last stop
The NBA Finals are the last stop on the road to the NBA Championship. The best of seven game series is played between the two conference champions and determines the league champion. The first team to win four games is crowned the NBA Champion. The Finals are played in June, after the conclusion of the NBA playoffs.
Who’s playing in the NBA Finals?
The Finals of the National Basketball Association (NBA) is the championship series for the NBA and the conclusion of its postseason. All Finals have been played in a best-of-seven format, and are contested between the winners of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference (formerly Divisional playoffs), except in 1950 when the Eastern Division champion declined to play.
The Eastern Conference/Division leads with 27 wins, and the Western Conference/Division follows with 26 wins. The Boston Celtics have appeared in the most Finals with 21 appearances, winning 17 of them. The Los Angeles Lakers have appeared in 19 Finals, winning 16 of them. The Golden State Warriors have appeared in 8 Finals, winning 5 of them.
How do teams make it to the NBA Finals?
In order to make it to the NBA Finals, teams first have to make it through the playoffs. The playoffs are a best-of-seven series between the sixteen best teams in the NBA. The eight teams with the best regular-season record in each conference (Eastern and Western) make it to the playoffs. These sixteen teams are then seeded based on their regular-season record. The two teams with the best records in each conference play the seventh and eighth seed in their conference, the third and sixth seed play each other, and the fourth and fifth seed play each other.
The four winners of these series then advance to the second round of the playoffs, where they are reseeded so that the team with the best record plays the lowest remaining seed. The winners of these series advance to the conference finals, where they compete for a chance to play in the NBA Finals. The two conference champions then face off in a best-of-seven series to determine who will be crowned NBA champion.
What happens if a team doesn’t make it to the playoffs?
If a team doesn’t make it to the playoffs, they will have to settle for playing in the NBA Summer League.
What is the NBA draft?
The NBA draft is an annual event in which the thirty teams in the National Basketball Association select new players for their rosters. The draft order is based on the previous season’s records, with the team with the worst record selecting first, and the team with the best record selecting last. In reverse order, each team then selects one player until all teams have selected a total of 60 players.
What is free agency?
Free agency in the National Basketball Association (NBA) refers to a period of time during the off-season when players who are not under contract with any team may sign a contract (or “offer sheet”) with any NBA team they choose, subject to the NBA’s restrictions on player movement.
What is the salary cap?
The NBA salary cap is the limit to the total amount of money that NBA teams are allowed to spend on their players’ salaries. It is a soft cap, meaning that there are certain exceptions that allow teams to go over the salary cap. The salary cap for the 2020-21 season is $109.14 million.
