Facing off against the best team in the league, the Golden State Warriors in the first round, the Portland Trail Blazers face some insurmountable odds. History is not on Portland's side as there have only been five times when a No. 8 seed beat the No. 1 seed in the first round. And even the NBA apparently is counting on Golden State sweeping the Blazers out of the playoffs.
On April 26, Chance the Rapper has a concert at Oracle Arena, which is the same date as a possible Game 5 between the Warriors and Blazers. The NBA made the playoff schedule so you would think that they were aware of the concert happening when they scheduled a possible Game 5 for that date.
Don't know how a potential game 5 could be April 26 in Oakland. Pretty sure @chancetherapper plays that night at Oracle. https://t.co/1EF7iqtZUl

Oracle Arena will likely have to reschedule Chance's concert if Portland is able to win one game in the series. But for now, that is a big if as Portland will first have to win one game against the Warriors, a seemingly difficult task for the Blazers.
