The struggling Suns reportedly held a players-only meeting recently in an effort to get back on track before it's too late.

"It's yet to be determined," Coach Terry Porter said. "Whenever you run an exercise like that, it's long term more than short term. I don't know if you can necessarily see short-term results."

Porter was a part of some similar meetings during his playing career.

"They did a little soul-searching," Porter said of his experiences. "A couple 'f-bombs' are thrown in there. For the most part, you may get good results for the next couple games and there's a positive vibe from it. Then, you fall into the old traps and to the old scenarios that obviously made you have the first players-only meeting.

"Until there's some true sacrifices in those type of situations, a lot of times, it's for them to show they are trying to make some corrections."
