I can see how my wording my imply that...and I apologize for the confusion. What I meant was each game will have a different crew of officials compared to the previous game.
No, a certain pool of officials are selected to work in the postseason... it starts with a pool of 36 out of the 62 staff officials. Each of these officials will work games in the first round. As play goes deeper into the playoffs, the pool of officials is cut down until the NBA Finals were 12 officials are chosen. Each official will work at least one NBA Finals game at this point.
