I need to remember when I place ML bets on Cavs' opponents not to use freebies..........need to be able to cash out when other team gets a big lead.

Jdub is out tonight in Boston so the Thunder are an underdog for only the 3rd time all season.

Everything? No not at all, have some general idea of their record? Uh yea.

Do i expect him to know their coach? Uh yea. By saying Chauncey he got 2 teams coaches wrong.

For a regular fan Id expect them to not have seen much Detroit ball...obviously.

I'm not saying they aren't worthy, just that I don't think fans of other franchises are going out of their way to watch Pistons basketball yet.

Shaq is obviously not doing his job well to claim Billups was the coach. I hope that was just a brain fart, but tough to say.

Shaq always preaches about being on top of your game and being excellent. He gets paid to know his product and he has failed his own standard.

Does he get paid to know anything really? He and Chuck are more comic relief than anything...and that's when you can actual tell what mumbling Shaq is even saying. He needs subtitles half the time.

Who's defending him? Just saying the Pistons' emergence isn't national news other than for diehards. Blame the networks for not showing the games.

And ive not personally suggested it should be, just think someone who gets paid millions of dollars to do nothing but cover the NBA should have a ballpark idea of every teams record and know who their coach is.

C'mon, nobody is expecting knowledge out of Shaq or Chuck. They are comic relief more than anything. Turrible.

But also c'mon, even guys as bad as Shaq and Chuck should know that the Pistons are having a historic turnaround, percentage-wise as big as the Celtics going form worst to when they got Larry Bird, just by being associated with the NBA almost every night of the week.

I absolutely expect them to both have a moderate level of knowledge about the NBA yes.

Why are we giving them a pass? Would we say its reasonable to expect Howie Long knows jack shit about the Panthers or something
