Each team plays a rival one in a better one of-seven series, with the first team to gain four play that advance in the second series, while the other team is eliminated of the ends. In the next series, the successful team plays against another team that advances of the same conference. Thus, all but a team in each conference they are eliminated of the ends. Since the NBA not teams of re-sowing, the ends put among parenthesis in each conference utilizes a traditional design, with the winner of the series that matches the first one and 8 the teams sown that they play al winning of the series that matches the 4 NBA 2007 and 5 the teams sown, and the winner of the series that matches the 2 and 7 the teams sown that play al winning The series that matches the 3 and 6 the teams sown. In each series except the NBA Final, the best of seven series continues a guideline 2-2-1-1-1, signifying that that team will have at home court in play 1, 2, 5, and 7, while the other play at home in play 3, 4, and 6. For the final series (NBA Final), the series continues a guideline of 2-3-2, signifying that that team will have at home court in play 1, 2, 6, and 7, while the other play at home in play 3-5.
The final ends round, a better one of-seven series among the winners of both conferences, known like the NBA Final, and they are had yearly in June. The winner in the NBA Final earns the Trophy of the Championship of Larry OR’ Brien. Each player and the older contributor, inclusive coaches and the National Basketball Association general director, in the victorious team they receive a ring of the championship.
