"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy called his team \"messed up\" following Detroit's 106-96 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers&amp;nbsp;on Tuesday.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the loss, the Pistons fell to 3-15 on the season, the second-worst record in the league ahead of only the winless 76ers. Detroit has lost nine straight games.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Offensively, we just continue to be awful,\" Van Gundy told reporters after the game. \"We're really messed up right now as a team.\"&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Van Gundy was hired this offseason to be the Pistons' coach and president. Previously, he coached the Orlando Magic.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Pistons last made the playoffs in 2008-09 after appearing in six straight Eastern Conference Finals from 2003 to 2008.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Detroit plays at the Boston Celtics (4-11) on Wednesday night.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;DOLLINGER: West takes over top five in NBA power rankings&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Stanley Kay&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
