Is Rose finally back?

[ImKobe]

last 2 games have been solid for him, b2b games with 29 and 25 points apiece, averaging 18/3/5 on 45% shooting (54%TS) in 18 games so far (27 MPG)

A lot of people wrote him off in terms of ever even being able to stay on the court, but I don't think he's looked better than he currently has since that ACL injury, his numbers will get better as the season goes on.

He's back. Against Lillard he dropped 31. Against Lowry 27 and completely took over and 25 against Wall and once again took over in the 4th. As long as he is in attack mode and doesnt settle for 3's he will back to being a top 5 PG in the league. His shot should get even more solid, but his drive and floater is nearly unstoppable.

He needs to cut down on the TO's though...but that always has been a weakness of his style.

He keeps getting better and better as you would expect if he stays healthy.

He sure looked back to me when he killed us (Raps) in the 4th of the last game.

no hes not back yet. hes only back until he plays the first game of the playoffs where he left off in 2012. everything before then is foreplay.

“I know where I’m going to be in a couple of months. You all are going to be the ones that are going to be surprised by the way I’m going to play,” Rose said.

Haters and doubters eating crow

I would say he's close. He still hasn't dunked on anyone tough, and he's been pretty off and on, but these last week or 2 he has been great. watching him, it looks like he's holding back, and then he just explodes in the 4th with bucket after bucket. If he keeps his 3pa down, improves his freethrow shooting, and stays aggressive, i will be happy.

I don't you'll be seeing that version of Rose anymore. He's still going to get in the lane for the acrobatic finishes and maybe half-heartedly dunk if he's alone on the break but he's not going to risk going way up for hammer dunks on defenders or put on a show with the two-hand reverse windmills like we saw in years past.
