NBA Playoff 2008 波士頓塞爾特人 VS 克里夫蘭騎士 (Game1) ( 第1,2節)

The 2008 NBA Playoffs is the postseason for the National Basketball Association's 2007-08 season.

There are four rounds of postseason action, all of them in a best-of-seven format, with teams seeded on a bracket. The team with the better record is not necessarily the basis of seeding teams in the playoffs. Nevertheless, the team with the better record in a match-up has home court advantage.

[edit] Format
The 2008 format will be the same as 2007's format.

The top 8 teams from each conference qualify for the playoffs.
The top 4 seeded teams are the three division winners and the best division runner-up all ranked on the basis of their standings.
The bottom 4 seeded teams are seeded by basis of their standings.
All series are in a best-of-seven format with the Games 1-2, 5 and 7 on the home court of the team with the better record (not necessarily higher seed).
Exception: For the NBA Finals, the team with the better record will play Games 1-2 and 6-7 on their home court.
Reseeding (as used in the Stanley Cup Playoffs) is not in use: therefore, all playoff matchups are predetermined via the teams' seedings.
