The same problems continue to rear their heads - to many turnovers, bad rebounding and poor execution.

Hahaha...awesome, we just helped snap the Pistons 13 game losing streak. This team is gutless.

Suns continue to take teams too lightly - no 4th quarter urgency at all. Hang your heads, boys - you deserve it.

Pretty low point, folks.

Same. The shoe needs to drop no doubt. I'm okay with scrapping this season if that's what it takes.

So they're obviously barely a contender for *at best* (and this is a stretch) the 8th seed.

They need to take a realistic look at their personnel and decide what they want to do long-term. Who they want to keep, and who is either to old to build around or not consistent enough (or good enough) to bother with.

Right now, with this substitution pattern and frontcourt makeup, they'll really struggle to get to 40 wins. Three guards is OK when one has size, but these three go 6-3, 6-0 and about 5-8. Only Bledsoe plays anything resembling defense. IT3 couldn't guard a potted plant.

You would think that using three point guards would make the taking care of the ball a strength - but it's been the opposite, turnovers and poor execution are two of their biggest problems.

This team doesn't really have anything they can hang their hat on. No area other that FT shooting that is a real strength.

They're not a good offensive team, not a good rebounding team, not a good defensive team. What else is there?

I hope we at least get some amusing post-game trash talk from the Pistons. Lord knows the Suns have earned it.

The dance team is good and the mascot is one of the best in the league. Also, the radio play-by-play guy is pretty awesome.

Alex Len got beat up tonight. But it was nice to see him get angry. He's got a long ways to go.

Yeah, but it looks like it is in him.
