Don't bother, the Nuggets are gonna cream the Lakers. :)

The NBA playoffs are played "best out of seven". For instance, the Celtics may win the first three games of the playoffs, but if the Lakers win the fourth game, the playoff continues until the Celtics win another game or unless the Lakers win the final three. There will be seven games max and four games minimum.

The team with the most regular season wins out of the two teams in the NBA finals will get home court advantage. They will play at home for games 1 and 2 and, if necessary, games 6 and 7. The other team will play three games in a row at home, being the home team in games 3, 4, and 5.

Team managing to reach 4 wins in a play-off series, eliminates the other team. Therefore, there may be 4 games if the series finishes with 4-0. There may also be 7 games, if the series finishes with 4-3. (There may be 5 or 6 games, too.)

The most a team could play is 28 games. 7 in the first round, 7 in the Conference Semifinals, 7 in the Conference Finals, and 7 in the Championships. The least a team could play is 16 games, but that is highly unlikely because they have to sweep ever team that stands in their way.

The New York Knicks made it to the finals in 1999. They were the first No. 8 seed in history to reach the NBA Finals.

5 out of 16 seasons:

- 1999 - Lost in Eastern Conference Quarterfinals (Bruins)

- 2001 - Eastern Conference Quarterfinals (Devils)

- 2002 - Lost in Stanley Cup Finals (Red Wings)

- 2006 - Won Stanley Cup

- 2009 - Lost in Eastern Conference Finals (Penguins)

For the 2021-2022 season here are the teams that made the playoffs:

AFC

1. Tennessee Titans
2. Kansas City Chiefs
3. Buffalo Bills
4. Cincinnati Bengals
5. Las Vegas Raiders
6. New England Patriots
7. Pittsburgh Steelers

NFC:

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
10. Dallas Cowboys
11. LA Rams
12. Arizona Cardinals
13. SF 49ers

Ray allen scored 8 three pointers in 2010 playoffs vs the heat

There were two matches played in deciding the outcome in 2010, as the first play-off ended in a draw, with both sides totalling 68 points.

By the rules of AFL, a drawn match must be replayed the following week to determine the Premiers for the year.

The scores at the second attempt were:

Collingwood 16.12 (108) def St. Kilda 7.10 (52).

You can calculate this by just adding the number of matches a team has played, to the number of matches yet to be played in the season. Go to the NBA web page, click on the team's 'standing', and you will see how many matches have been played to date. Then go to 'scores and schedules' and figure out for any given team, the number of games left for that team. I was able to calculate this because the season has only 9 days to go. It would be tedious to use this method to calculate your answer in the middle of the season.

For example: As of today April 6, 2009;

Toronto and San Antonio have played 76 matches each, and have 6 more matches to play by the end of the season - April 15. This makes a total of 82 matches. Take Detroit (my team) and the Lakers. Both have played 77 matches, and are left with 5 matches each to to wrap up. Again this makes a total of 82 matches.

Although this reasoning is logical, I stand to be corrected because there are 30 teams in the NBA, which means that each team has to play 29 other teams for 'x' number of games. Since 'x' must be a whole number, (and perhaps an even number for road and home matches) there must be a way of reaching 82 games, which is not clear to me if my deduction of 82 games per season is right.

This seasons 08-09' valuation for the Lakers in Forbes says that they made $191 million in revenue, have $82 million in gate receipts, $77 million in player expenses, and $47.9 million in Operating Inc. It also says that the Lakers are worth $584 million. I don't think the $191 million is accurate though because that's the net of the arena revenue and doesn't account for what they get through merchandising and televised events, but it's the closest I could find.

The Phoenix Suns

NBA- 8 from each conference/16 total

NFL - 6 from each conference/12 total

NHL - 8 from each conference/16 total

It varies depending on the standings of the teams that are positioned to get into the playoffs. The top eight teams from each conference get in, but the number of wins that have gotten teams to the playoffs go from as low as around 36 wins to being as high as 72 wins. Any NBA team that wants to qualify for the playoffs has to finish with a better record than the team holding eighth place in their conference.

Because there's a lockout going on. The same type of stuff is happening on NBA.com where you can't view any past videos. It sucks though.

The Diamondbacks have gone to the playoffs in 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2011. In 1999 they lost in the NLDS to the New York Mets 3-1. In 2001 the D-Backs won the World Series by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 in the NLDS, Atlanta Braves 4-1 in the NLCS and the New York Yankees 4-3 in the World Series. In 2002 they lost in the NLDS 3-0 to the Cardinals. And in 2011 they lost 3-2 in the NLDS to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Depending on when the other teams finish, anywhere from late April to early May.

The 2008-09 NBA Playoffs featured the following 16 teams:

In the East:

(1) Cleveland Cavaliers vs. (8) Detroit Pistons

(2) Boston Celtics vs. (7) Chicago Bulls

(3) Orlando Magic vs. (6) Philadelphia 76ers

(4) Atlanta Hawks vs. (5) Miami Heat

In the West:

(1) Los Angeles Lakers vs. (8) Utah Jazz

(2) Denver Nuggets vs. (7) New Orleans Hornets

(3) San Antonio Spurs vs. (6) Dallas Mavericks

(4) Portland Trail Blazers vs. (5) Houston Rockets

The Warriors franchise has 2 NBA Championships (1956, 1975)

and 1 BAA Championship (1947)

There are 15 teams in the eastern confrence (NHL)

It depends on how each series turns out. There are 4 rounds- 8 series in the first, 4 in the second, 2 in the third, and one for the championship. If each one takes 7 games, there is a total possible of 105 games. However, series usually do not take that long. Each series has a minimum of 4 games played.

So the total number of games ranges from 60-105 games.

yes

It depends on which team because some teams have played more than others, but most teams have eight to ten games left until the playoffs.
