The Detroit Pistons are reeling, losing six of their last nine games after starting the season a respectable 11-10.
Backup center Aron Baynes called a players-only meeting on the weekend after a 15-point loss to the Indiana Pacers, and the Pistons followed that up with a 31-point drubbing at the hands of the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.
In the words of Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy, "Team meeting, my ass."

— FOX Sports Detroit (@FOXSportsDet) December 20, 2016Most of the blame for the Pistons' fall from grace has landed on the shoulders of Reggie Jackson because Detroit's recent downturn coincides almost directly with his return from a 21-game absence to start the season due to thumb and knee injuries.
