The Golden State Warriors keep up their record pace, Kurt Rambis has a porn situation on Twitter, Kyrie Irving blames bed bugs for his early exit on Sunday, and Jim Harbaugh attends Monday Night Raw. Those topics and more here at the Tuesday Cheat Sheet…
The Warriors are the fastest team to 50 wins in NBA history
50-5. That’s the Golden State Warriors’ record now, after the Splash Brothers led them to a 102-92 win over the Hawks on Monday night in Atlanta.
Steph Curry had 36 points:
And Klay Thompson had 27 points:
Ho-hum. The Warriors have reached 50 wins faster than any team in NBA history, remaining one game ahead of the 95-96 Bulls’ pace.

Fewest Games to 50 Wins
2015-16 Warriors 55
1995-96 Bulls 56 (won NBA title)

1982-83 76ers 57 (won title)— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) February 23, 2016
And over the last 82 games… the Warriors are 73-9 (or, what would be the greatest record in NBA history):

They really may do this.
Quick Hits
– Daytona 500: Inside just how close Denny Hamlin’s win over Martin Truex Jr. really was. Fun, in-depth stuff here from Dan Levy. An example of what Dan dives into in the article:
The fastest shot in NHL history was by Zdeno Chara, who rocketed a puck 108.8 mph in the All-Star Skills competition four years ago. So how far would that puck travel in one hundredth of a second? 19.13 inches. Yep, the hardest puck ever hit would travel less than two feet in the time difference between first and second place at the Daytona 500 this year.
– The NFL has been ordered to return more than $100 million it withheld from players.
– This is so good: Knicks claim Kurt Rambis was hacked after liking porn tweet on Twitter and has now deleted his account. Lololol.
– Kyrie Irving claims BIG ASS bed bugs (from the hotel the night before) caused him to leave a game early. This is a crazy story, and the Oklahoma City hotel — which is said to be haunted, too — has confirmed bed bugs were found in his room the next day, so he’s not bullshitting us.
– Two of the craziest people on the planet take a selfie together. Arnold and Ballmer:

– Jim Harbaugh was at RAW and was VERY fired up about it. Of course he was.
– This Dion Waiters lowlight reel is very real and very funny.
– Jaromir Jagr has been in the NHL a long, long time. To put it into better perspective: Jagr’s career is longer than 1/3 of NHL players’ lives.
– Would you buy organic fast food from Ray Allen?
– Jose Bautista isn’t going to give the Blue Jays a hometown discount. Bautista is a free-agent after the end of the year and is coming off a 40-homer season. But, he will be 36 when he hits the open market, so it will be interesting to see what teams are paying him, even with power bats like his so hard to find these days.

– All 129 major college football teams as Pokemon.

One last breath of gratuitous procrastination
This grocery store prank is pretty brilliant:
Screw it, one more breath of gratuitous procrastination
An absolutely gorgeous video of Hawaii, put together by filmmaker Karim Iliya, and shot entirely by quadcopter drones… this should win some awards (and make you want to get to Hawaii as fast as freaking possible):
