Kentavious Caldwell-Pope found humor in Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris’ verbal blast.

Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy questioned Morris’ credentials.

But both obviously disagreed with Morris’ assessment that the Pistons’ second-year shooting guard “doesn’t have any heart.”

“I’m not quite sure – maybe he knows – I’m not quite sure what Markieff Morris has accomplished in the league that gets him to the point of mouthing off,” Van Gundy said after today’s practice. “I mean, I don’t like the mouthing off anyway.

“It seems to me you should at least participate in a playoff game before you do. But maybe not, maybe that’s not the standard anymore.”
