16 teams enter the playoffs. Jordan has three 16th place finishes. Let's be truthful
If we actually think about winning and losing simplifying the results is easy. 16 teams make the playoffs so if you go out in the 1st round you are a 16th place finisher. I am going to use 2020 as a base model. Here is the bracket results for the year
1st round Start: 16 teams
End: 8 teams
8 teams lose in the 1st round , they all finish 16th of 16 teams
WC
16th: Blazers
16th: Mavs
16th:Thunder
16th: Jazz
EC
16th: Magic
16th: Sixers
16th: Nets
16th: Pacers
Semi Finals Start: 8 teams
End: 4 teams
4 teams lose in the Semi Finals
They all finish 8th of 8 teams
WC
8th: Rockets
8th: Clippers
EC
8th: Bucks
8th Raptors
Conference Finals Start: 4 teams
End: 2 teams
2 teams lose in the Conference Finals
They all finish 4th of 4 teams
WC
4th: Nuggets
EC
4th: Celtics
Finals Start: 2 teams
End: 1 team
Finals winner is 1st place
1st: Lakers
2nd: Heat
Final Playoff Standings:
1st: Lakers
2nd: Heat
4th: Nuggets, Celtics
8th: Rockets, Clippers, Bucks, Raptors
16th: Trailblazers, Jazz, Mavericks, Thunder, Magic, Sixers, Nets, Pacers
This is the best way I can make sense of people saying a 1st round (16th place) is the same as a Finals loss (2nd place).
