    Lillard calls for a screen with about 5 seconds left and then waives it off. "Nah I got this!"....

    I just got home from the game. Nobody wanted to leave the arena. Massive yelling and high-fives on the way out. The parking garage was, well, a parking garage. People were screaming and honking their horns. Nobody was in a hurry to leave.

    That was a game to remember.

    Thank you Dame.

    While watching it unfold I kept thinking why isn't Dame taking it in??????? Why is he going to settle for a shot just inside of half court with how much time is left????? Dame's like don't worry my son, I got this!!!!!

    I mean are you serious? A step back 40 footer, to his right when he usually goes left on his step backs, and with George in his face????? And that it gave him 50!!!!! Plus he basically played the whole game minus about 2.5 minutes.

    I'm still tearing up. Obviously there have been bigger and more important games in the history of the Blazers but has there ever been a greater single game performance in 49 seasons?

    Even made the news here, that hasn't happened since 0.9:

    Damian Lillard hits 50 points and sinks epic matchwinner to send OKC out

    I just love that Dame dropped 50 on Felton to win this one tonight...that is just frickin' icing on the cake! I'm now calling Stotts the "New Zen Master"

    There is a reason why this not a bad shot. Actually there are a few of them.
    First the game was tied and it was at the Moda center in PORTLAND. Just that alone will tell you that the percentage was better.
    Second Lillard was shooting well all night.
    Third. If he missed they were going to OT at home with the home crowd behind them. Not just OT but Overtime with both PG and Russ with 5 fouls.
    Lillard knew exactly what he was doing.

    I think his post game interview summed it up best too. He didnt want to drive to the hoop, have been mauled with insane amount of contact which alters his shot and force the refs to make a call (because they wouldn't). I just had that feeling that once that left his hand it was a great shot and it was going in. Amazing.

    I don't understand how he could say that's a bad shot........ if you can consistently hit a shot from there, and you have a clean look, it's not a bad shot....
