If you look at his number son the year, then yeah it won't blow you away. But his numbers since Josh Smith was waived are All Star caliber (still some inconsistencies night-to-night, but overall it has been drastically better), and he has been playing the best basketball of his career by far. The timing of this injury is absolutely terrible, and I felt physically ill watching him writhe around on the ground in pain. :-(

It was so much fun watching him during this Pistons run, and I really grew fond of the guy. But what's done is done, and I won't write this team off yet. In SVG we trust.

Augustine filled in for Rose quite well last year. And this gives dinwiddie a chance to show what he's got. But this still sucks jennings was turning a corner with his game.

Sour grapes, with Jabari's injury, GoBlueGB? It isn't cool to ever wish an injury on anyone, or to rejoice when someone goes down. That's just being a jerk. These guys lay their bodies on the line, and it is crummy when something like this happens.

I'm not a believer in Karma. But you better hope that Jabari gets healthy and stays healthy. As a Bulls fan, I've seen how seasons are easily ruined by injuries.

I am wondering the same thing honestly - considering how the last 13 seasons or so have gone in Milwaukee, an aggrieved, vindictive Bucks fan just doesn't seem like more than a remote possibility. In any case, calling an injury to a player "karma" is rather immature and inappropriate, but it came from about the last fanbase that I would expect in NBA terms.

You're up, DJ. It'll be interesting to see if the team adds a PG to the roster thru FA or a trade. I'd let DJ play a few games with Dinwiddie back-up before making any moves, but this team needs to strive for the playoffs, not take the ever-so-popular tanking route.

left the roster spot open after waiving Smith.  Should allow them to either bring someone in on a 10-day contract or permanent basis if they feel it's necessary.  Wouldn't mind seeing Seth Curry sign a couple 10-days.  Shooting close to 51% from three in the D-League on almost 8 attempts per game.

I hate to see injuries to anyone, any time. This really sucks for the Pistons.

As a Bulls fan, it has been very tough with D Rose's injuries, and Joakim Noah. (and they're not the only ones.) Pacing is so important, and staying healthy is critical. Sorry for Pistons and Pistons fans.

They have backups, and now with better spacing between Monroe and Drummond there should still be shots for guys like Augustine to fill in.  They probably won't sneak into the playoffs, but the Pistons could still have a nice showing to end the year even without Jennings.
