How do you get into the NBA playoffs?

To qualify for the playoffs in the NBA you have to finish as one of the top eight teams in your conference. Winning your division doesn't necessarily get you a playoff berth, as another team from a different division could potentially win more games during the regular season and have the advantage over you record-wise in securing the final playoff spot.
