NBA Conference Finals

Le National Basketball Association Conference Finals sanciscono la conclusione dei Playoff NBA, quando le ultime due squadre della Eastern e Western Conference si scontrano. I vincitori delle Conference Finals ricevono un trofeo d'argento e avanzano alle NBA Finals.

Inizialmente, la BAA (primo nome della NBA) suddivise i suoi team in due division,NBA Eastern Division e NBA Western Division. Le Divisional Finals, furono giocate per la prima volta nel 1948: nei primi due anni della sua vita la Lega usava invece un formato di playoffs che prevedeva incroci tra le squadre di Division diverse. Nel 1949 l'NBA creò tre Division, aggiungendo la NBA Central Division; tuttavia tale sistema durò solo quella stagione, tornando l'anno dopo al formato a due Division, che durò fino al 1970. Nel 1970 la lega creò due Conference (Western e Eastern), costituite ciascuna da due Division: nacquero così le Conference Finals. Le Conference Finals erano al meglio delle 3 gare nel 1949 e nel 1950, al meglio delle 5 fino al 1956 e dall'anno dopo all'attuale formato al meglio delle 7 partite.

Central Division

modifica

Nel 1949 vi era la suddivisione in 3 Division: Western, Eastern e Central. Il formato dei playoff prevedeva quindi tre "Division Finals"; la squadra campione delle Eastern Finals (Syracuse Nationals) avrebbe affrontato nelle NBA Finals del 1950 la vincitrice della semifinale NBA tra i vincitori delle Central Division Finals (Minneapolis Lakers) e i campioni della Western Division (Anderson Packers) in una serie al meglio delle 3 partite. Tale formato durò solo per quella stagione NBA.
