I was watching the Pistons game yesterday when my friend texted me something like "Sorry about the bad news" I didn't know what he was talking about. It was very ominous feeling. When he sent me the link it didn't make me feel any better.
It really sucks he got hurt. He was looking like Lavine in the game and had some terrific passes AND looked to be playing pretty damn good D.
There could be some silver linings. Maybe we find out Rush is worth keeping around for a more long term deal. Tyus will probably get some decent run. Rubio may be even more aggressive looking score. I do agree that this doesn't mean the playoff run is over but it does hurt at the end of the game with Lavine I always feel like the team has a shot because he can hit 3's in bunches. That isn't quite there now. Tyus might be the pseudo replacement in that type of role.
