    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."

    He said it after the Suns' 88-86 victory over the Pistons at the Palace when Caldwell-Pope missed a triple in the closing seconds that would have probably won it.

    "Caldwell-Pope got it and you know he doesn't have any heart, so we knew he was going to miss," Morris said.

    Van Gundy wasn't going to let such an insult slide.

    "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."

    The verbal volleys probably are because the two had to be separated after getting chest-to-chest to trash talk in the second quarter.

    "A lot of emotions were running," Caldwell-Pope said. "We exchanged a few words with each other. So obviously, out of frustration, he said that."

    Not surprising, if you ever watch any Suns games, the Morris twins talk A LOT of trash

    This was nothing but a little jab after the game between to guys that got double techs. The media is blowing it out of proportion just to get a little sound bite.

    Markieff is a solid talent...i'm not so optimistic about Marcus.

    Speaking of which, are the Lopez twins the closest the NBA has come to producing two truly talented brothers?

    Maybe Mason and Miles Plumlee.

    Guess you've never heard of Nick and Tom Van Arsdale.

    Both were all-stars and had very good long careers.
