2017 nba playoffs
these seedings are used to create a bracket that determines the match-ups throughout the series. once the playoffs start, the bracket is fixed; teams are never "reseeded", unlike in the national football league (nfl) where the strongest remaining teams face the weakest teams in subsequent rounds. the first round of the nba playoffs, or conference quarterfinals, consists of four match-ups in each conference based on the seedings (1–8, 2–7, 3–6, and 4–5). the four winners advance to the second round, or conference semifinals, with a match-up between the 1–8 and 4–5 winners and a match-up between the 2–7 and 3–6 winners. the two winners advance to the third round, or conference finals. the winner from each conference will advance to the final round, or the nba finals.
