Sometimes fans in Detroit take for granted that the Pistons have the fundamentals down cold. You know, understanding how to execute a good pick-and-roll, remembering to box out on free throws, and, uh, knowing what the clock that counts down from 24 seconds on top of the backboard is for. Larry Brown is learning just how lucky he had it:
Knicks coach Larry Brown claimed one of the players asked him how he could tell how much time was left on the shot clock. “I never thought I’d have to hear that kind of response,” he said. “You can’t take anything for granted.”

That is one of the funniest things ever…
Flat out ridiculous, really. I kind of wish he named the player.
I’d throw a couple dollars on Jerome James, if he’d played more than scrub minutes this seaason. He’s admitted that he only started playing ball because he was so tall.
