Pistons visiting team with no home-court advantage

Suns president of operations Lon Babby on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, as transcribed by Andrew Joseph of AZCentral.com (hat tip: Brett Pollakoff of ProBasketballTalk):

"“We don’t have a home-court advantage for a whole number of reasons right now and that’s hurting us."

"And quite candidly, the games here – I think we’re putting on a great product – but the games here are not as well attended as I would like and the fans aren’t, you know, boisterous enough in my mind. You go other places and they can raise the level of their team’s performance. That’s our problem. It’s not the fans’ problem. It’s a reality that we haven’t generated the kind of – I mean, I remember last year, the Oklahoma City game, the fans won that game for us. It was just electric in the arena.”"

The Pistons, playing in Phoenix tonight, have a chance to take advantage.

Probably won’t, though.
