The first round of the playoffs, known as the American and National League Divisional Series' or ALDS/NLDS are a best of 5 format. The first team to win 3 games, advances to the next round which is the American and National League Championship Series or ALCS/NLCS. This series is a best of 7 format (first team to win 4 games) advances to the World Series which ALSO is a best of 7 format.

How many games are there all together in the NBA playoffs?

With each playoff series being a best of 7 series, and 16 teams that make the playoffs, you have 8 series in the first round (times 7 games) which is a possibility of 56 games (if all of them went to 7 games). Then, in the second round, you have 4 series, so that is 28 possible games. Then, you have the conference championships with 2 series, which means there is a possibility of 14 games. Finally, in the Championship series, you have the possibility of 7 games. So, that is 56 + 28 + 14 + 7 or 15 * 7 which is 105 games. If you take the minimum amount of games to determine a champion, it is 15 * 4 or 60 games. So, the answer is anywhere between 60 and 105 games.
