looks like he's out now

Detroit Pistons Basketball: News, Blogs, Photos, Audio, Schedule & Stats - MLive.com

Billups has been told by Arnie Kander, Detroit's strength and conditioning coach, that he can't make the hamstring any worse by returning to action now.

but that is the best part of the article, hopefully being at home stuck can have a great game and let us get it some more rest..... sorry but i'll take a bit of rust, if its against boston we only need to win 1 out of those first 2 games to take control of the series.... so i'll take a bit of rust, and that could be balanced out by a tired (phyically and mentally) boston team.

I believe it was started by Cloudwalker, back when he was known as Cirrus.

Anthony Goldwire was on the Pistons roster and somehow Rufus became a metaphor for such a player.

Rufus has had legal trouble, plays craps in the back alleys, hangs out on the street corner, has a wooden leg and an eye patch. He's like a ghetto basketball pirate.

Hopefully ~~Cirrus~~ Cloudwalker will regale us with more of his legend soon.

I think Cloud developed the mythical Rufus Henry character back in the 04/05 season when Joe was auditioning back-up point guards every other week (Horace Jenkins, Smush Parker, etc...).

We all kinda ran with it and added to the Myth of Rufus.

DA RUFUS - ON FIRE!!!
