I don't think their schedule is that easy, they have a lot of home games but they also have to play the Rockets, Jazzx2 (one home one away), and Spurs, along with the Pels and the Nuggets. I think there may be a lot on the line in the last game of the season. ETA: Their other 3 games are T'Wolvesx2 (one home and one away) and the Suns.

How can anyone say this is an easy schedule? There's easily 3 or 4 losses in this stretch for Portland. If this was the Pels' final stretch they would have no shot at the Playoffs.

I believe they actually play TWolves 3 times. One game got postponed.

Anyway, 7 of the Blazers last 10 games are at home. 6 of the 10 are against teams with losing records. It is easy, especially when you start it with a 4 game lead.

The thing is, the Pels have to go 6-2 and hope the Blazers go 3-5 over the next 8 games. That would set up a "play in" game for the 8th spot as the last game of the season (Pels@Portland).

ETA: most logical way to accomplish this (6-2) is for the Pels to win vs Dallas, vs Sacramento, vs Chicago, vs Denver, @ Denver, and @ Lakers, while losing @ Utah and @ Golden State. Very possible as most of these are at home and none of them are on a back to back.
