Doubt if he's back... incredible single game though.

Jennings dropped 55 once. Great night for Rose though.

A little bit funny that Minnesota beat the jazz with Butler sitting on the bench.

Rose has always been an interesting lottery ticket prospect for a team like the Wolves. He basically counts for nothing against your salary cap because he's still reaping the benefits from his $185 million dollar Adidas contract.

All that stuff about how he says that most people would quit it kind of flawed. While it may be true that many would have just medically retired, it's not like he's playing for charity. All he has to do is put out average production and he gets paid like a superstar by Adidas.

Happy that he's having a bit of a bounce-back season though and hope he can continue this high level of play. Prime Rose was an absolute force on the court.

Prime DRose was one of my favourites to watch. Don't expect him to maintain it, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

When you can't form a superteam, you must become one yourself.

Too early to talk about MVP chances?

I wouldn't expect a repeat of last night but he's been surprisingly solid this year even before the explosion. Had a 28 point game like a week ago.

Yeah, all jokes aside he has looked good. Maybe he just needed the dysfunction of the Wolves in order to thrive.

good to see him playing better.  hate to see top players cut down in their primes due to injury.  Not sure if he's enough to right the ship in Minny but if Butler got it together and quit pouting, the two of them could change that team's culture into a winning one.

A really nice story. The best part is they won the game on Rose blocking a shot. Terrific.

But no, he's probably not back.

Next game: Rose scores 3 points in 5 minutes off the bench, while Tyus Jones starts over him and struggles in 41 minutes.

What?
