So these final four games are going to be a gauntlet. There is a real chance the Blazers go 1-3 and are unable to secure the eighth seed, especially given that the Clippers have five games left against the Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder, the Blazers, and Golden State Warriors. Outside of the Thunder game, and of course the Blazers game given the consequences, the other three should be cakewalks.
