You sucked me into the rabbit hole, watched the whole game.

A few things strike me watching the game again all these years later:

1. My recollection was that DRose dominated Westbrook, that's what I remembered, but that's not really what happened. DRose was better, but Russ was really good too.

2. CDR - man, I'm just not sure why he doesn't get the love from Tiger fans that some of the other all time greats do. I know he's got the Supreme Bae thing going and it didn't quite work out for him in the NBA; but geez, that dude was as good a college player as there ever was. Just unstoppable. Can we retire #14????

3. The Play - I always remember CDR dunking on Love and Dorsey pointing and laughing, which was amazing. But just a few minutes later, Dorsey sprints back and blocks a Westbrook lay up out of absolutely no where, just an awesome play.

4. Defense - that team was just stifling defensively. It started with AA on the perimeter and Dorsey on the inside, but CDR, Rose and Dozier were all phenomenal defenders.

Fun times indeed.

CDR was incredible during his time here and amazing in the tournament. The only sad thing is that he missed 3 free throws, including the front end of a one and one, a jumper, and before the two missed free throws he could have handed off to Dozier for a dunk that would have put the game away against Kansas.

We would have never gone far without him, that's for sure, but it's hard to forget the last 2 minutes of that game (obviously).

If AA had made the simple inbounds pass, nothing else make any difference. That’s the play that shocked me more than anything else.

Pretty sure the guy that stole that inbounds also slid out of bounds before he hit the three and it wasn’t called

I know damn well he touched out of bounds but you have to agree a very uncharacteristic pass by AA. Almost a panic inbounds pass.

No doubt. That was just the perfect storm of terrible plays all around and a few missed calls by the refs to lose that damn game. Just needed any one of 10 things to go another way. Not to mention the miracle three he still had to sink. We probably had a 99% chance to win that right before the implosion. Still makes me sick.

2008 wasn’t meant to be. Not with Cal as the coach.

We’ll win one with Penny and it’ll be befitting.

Probably need to hold off declaring him "back" until he has a game like Ricky Rubio had vs Westbrook.

Agreed. Is is almost impossible for those things to happen in a 2 minute span especially if you know the players involved as well as a die hard Tiger fan does.

That was the play of the game, the missed call by piece of **** Hightower. We go from inbounding the ball with a 7 point lead and then shooting free throws at the other end, to all of a sudden only up 4 because of the blown call.

Worst case scenario, we miss the free throws and delay Kansas scoring for another 10-15 seconds, IF they even score.

Yep. And I bet AA didn’t have more than 2-3 of that kind of inbounds passes his four seasons.

Clearly lost a step and doesn't jump as high, but dude can still play. Amazing that a guy can play his B game at that level. Truly impressive.

Well, DRose isn't back. He never will be, unfortunately.

Sad part is he was playing OK for the Knicks last year. Saying he wanted a max contract , which was silly, but you could see him getting a decent multi-year deal. Then, he got hurt again late last year. Signed a 1 year, $2M deal with the Cavs, got hurt again. Disappeared for a month, was a throw-in on the deadline day draft deal to the Jazz, who waived him.

Shot 22% from 3 last year and 23% this year. Is a very poor defender. Will be 30 in October. It will be 1-year, low dollar contracts from here on out. Rose should stay with Thibs, who likes him and seems to get the best out of him.

Ya, it is really sad how his career has played out. He will never be close to what he was. He will show an occasional glimpse of the past, maybe a handful of games a year for the next two or three years but will never string together multiple games in a row at that level.

Which tells one a lot more about the TWolves not being able to get Towns the ball than DRose being back. Glad DRose has had a couple of nice games, but they are down 3-1, so context is important. TWolves, despite two recent #1 overall picks in Towns and Wiggins, and a top 15 player in Jimmy Butler, are a mess. And Wiggins' 5 year, $150M extension kicks in next year.

Rockets scored 50 points in the 3rd quarter last night, most in one playoff quarter in over 50 years.

Rose +6

Rose +5

Uh, what difference does that make? (You seem to use "Uh" a lot, thinking you have made a point, when you haven't.)

TWolves were a preseason projected top 4 seed. Had to win on last day of season to make playoffs. And their soon to be highest paid player, Wiggins, regressed to a 13 PER, and scored 6 ppg less this season. Thibs seems unable to adjust to the new NBA. They are a disappointment, despite ending the no playoff streak.

Uh, the KAT is only averaging 13 PPG... Rose is still only 3rd on the team in scoring at 14.8.

Rose is simply a shell of what he used to be when he was arguably the most explosive PG in the league. Injuries happened, however, he has had a nice series against the Rockets, however, he will simply never be anywhere near the MVP level player he was a few years ago. That does not mean he does not have a place on a team as a high end bench player or serviceable starting guard.

Sad part is he was playing OK for the Knicks last year. Saying he wanted a max contract , which was silly, but you could see him getting a decent multi-year deal. Then, he got hurt again late last year. Signed a 1 year, $2M deal with the Cavs, got hurt again. Disappeared for a month, was a throw-in on the deadline day draft deal to the Jazz, who waived him.

Shot 22% from 3 last year and 23% this year. Is a very poor defender. Will be 30 in October. It will be 1-year, low dollar contracts from here on out. Rose should stay with Thibs, who likes him and seems to get the best out of him.

Rose didn't expect a max obviously; you need to google NBA contracts and see the money that guys not close to his skill level NOW are getting. I suspect OP or those reading this took thread title literally to mean back to all NBA level. He and Conley are fairly close in skill level right now.
