那如果以下情況呢？ 

假設湖人第一，

火箭、爵士、金塊得勝率一樣(其他球隊較低)，而他們之間的對賽成績如下：

爵士3：1金塊

火箭4：0爵士

金塊4：0火箭

那他們的最終排名是怎樣？

是不是金塊第二，火箭第三，爵士第四？

金塊比爵士排名靠前？？？

金塊與爵士對戰的成績較差

又金塊和爵士同組

戰績一樣的話比雙方對戰

因此爵士是分組冠軍

可以確定金塊排在爵士後面

火箭是西南組的分組冠軍

季賽四比○橫掃爵士

所以排名在爵士前面

總結這種情況下的季後賽的種子排名是

一 湖人

二 火箭

三 爵士

四 金塊

理論上應該是這樣沒錯

不過這種情形百年難得一見...

根據nba.com的解釋，好像應該是金塊第二，火箭第三，爵士第四。(英文不好，不敢肯定)

c. Guidelines For Applying Tie-Break Criteria.
The following guidelines shall be used when applying the above criteria to break ties for playoff positions:

(1) (a) Since the three division winners receive the first three playoff positions, ties to determine the division winners must be broken before any other ties.
(b) When a tie must be broken to determine a division winner, the results of the tie-break shall be used to determine only the division winner and its playoff position, not any other playoff position(s).

(2) If a tie involves more than two teams, the tie-break criteria in subparagraph b. shall be applied in the order set forth therein until the first to occur of the following:
(a) Each of the tied teams has a different winning percentage or point differential under the applicable tiebreak criterion (a “complete” breaking of the tie). In this circumstance, the team with the best winning percentage or point differential under the criterion will be awarded the best playoff position, the team with the next-best winning percentage or point differential will be awarded the next-best playoff position, and so on, and no further application of the tie-break criteria will be required.
(b) One or more (but not all) of the tied teams has a different winning percentage or point differential under the applicable tie-break criterion (a “partial” breaking of the tie). In this circumstance: (x) any team(s) that performed better under the applicable criterion than any other team(s) will be awarded a higher playoff position than such other team(s); and (y) teams that had equivalent performance under the applicable criterion will remain tied, and such remaining tie(s) will be broken by applying, from the beginning, the criteria in subparagraph a.(1)-(6) above (for any remaining tie involving only two teams) or subparagraph b.(1)-(5) above (for any remaining tie involving more than two teams) and the guidelines set forth in this subparagraph c.

(3) If application of the criteria in subparagraph a. or b. does not result in the breaking of a tie, the playoff positions of the tied teams will be determined by a random drawing.
