    Only 3 time before tonight has a player gone for 50+ points, 5+ assists, and 5+ steals in a regular season game:
    2-12-05, Allen Iverson, 60 points, 6 assists, 5 steals (3 turnovers, 42 minutes)
    12-20-04, Allen Iverson, 51 points, 6 assists, 7 steals (7 turnovers, 47 minutes)
    3-18-88, Michael Jordan, 50 points, 9 assists, 5 steals (1 turnover, 42 minutes)

    2-19-16, Damian Lillard, 51 points, 7 assists, 6 steals (0 turnovers, 31 minutes)

    Wow. 51 points in only 31 minutes. Amazing!

    And that 0 turnovers against the best defense in the league!

    I don't know, I think most our cap space will be going towards keeping this group together, including Henderson.

    Look at the box score tonight. Plenty of minutes for Hendo and Harkless and Crabbe and Aminu.....

    That was the fastest 50 point game in history. Lillard scored 51 points in 31 minutes 6 seconds. Previous record was Kobe in 31 minutes 20 seconds.

    I'll say it until he surpasses it: tonight, Dame had the greatest all around game of the last 40 years, arguably the second best game ever, when you consider the opponent and his all around stats over pure points.

    Wow Meyers didn't play at all tonight. Is Stott's thinking ahead to the playoffs and not wanting them to work on that matchup, or has he gone down in the rotation now that Vonleh is back?

    Warriors went small; Meyers wasn't useful against that.

    Possibly, but I personally think we will make a trade for a solid piece this summer. I'd like it to be a vet (like Z-Bo) so we don't have to pay them too long and helps stop gap for the growth of Noah and co.

    Aren't the Warriors 20th in the league on defense? I thought I heard that somewhere.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens with Leonard's minutes next game. Who sits? Harkless has earned playing time. So has Vonleh. Aminu?

    Not to nit pick, but wtf was Kaman doing shooting 3's when he came in? If it wasn't for Roberts our win would have been under 30. And that would have pissed me off.
    Roberts looked good even if it was garbage time.

    One of Darks poll questions earlier this season was something along the lines of "Will Damian Lillard win a championship with the Blazers"...

    Leonard needs to get center minutes only right now. Small ball is working with Aminu and Harkless at the 4 (And Vonleh)

    I'm shocked it wasn't a pro-Warriors recap. It was amazing to hear all of the Warriors fans tonight act just as badly as Lakers fans, especially when they were leaving throughout the fourth quarter. Oh wait, most (if not all) were Lakers fans.

    "We've only lost five games! We're still amazing!" Yes, that's true, you're a damn good team. We're one of those five teams that kicked your ass, though. Scoreboard!
