    The fact that it was 70, 6, and 6 in 39 minutes is so fucking insane!!!

    Lillard is a basketball god!

    Dame got some Drug test? Is there a drug out there that can make me shoot half court shots?

    Let's face it, 80 was in play had he played selfishly.

    If the refs give him 25 free throws like they gave Mitchell, he easily breaks 80+.

    Tonight's performance gets him up to 32.25 ppg. Solidly in 3rd, and less than 1 ppg behind Luka/Embiid. If he wants it, I absolutely believe he can get the scoring title.

    Just witnessed maybe the most amazing performance I've ever seen on the court....and I come on here and there are "fans" actually complaining about shit. I just don't get you people. #RipCity

    I don't know if Dame wants to lead the league in scoring but look at the team around him. Even if healthy the only way we make the playoffs is if Dame averages 40 for the rest of the season and that will likely have him leading the league in ppg.

    If we make the playoffs and it looks like the Knicks will too. That opens up 5 first round picks for us to trade in order to get Dame help in trying to win our team a title.

    If there is any complaining I am so high on tonight's performance by Dame that I didn't even notice it. We're all fortunate to be Blazers fans in the Dame Lillard era.

    When you factor in "degree of difficulty" on some of those shots it is even more mind boggling.

    There were posts regarding the lack of roster around him, the competition, the way he was getting shots, that the game wasn't decided early despite him having 40+. So while nobody was complaining about how great Dame is, they were finding a way to take a magical performance and point out how the situation was less than perfect. I'm far from Mr. Rose Colored Glasses, but there wasn't a chance in hell I was going to watch that performance and be anything but appreciative.

    And the fact there are more amazing performances in front of us, excites me.
