Pistons vs. Everybody

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) and Kelsea O'Brien (@kelsea_lately) talked about the Pistons getting beaten badly by the Raptors, and if that matters since Blake Griffin didn't play at all. Then, more interestingly, they talked about how Patrick Beverley is like Kyle Lowry is like Ben Wallace, how Laz learned to love Halloween, and The Handsomeness Bracket.

Laz also reports which of the Pistons' end-of-rotation guys is safe, and speculates about what that means the Pistons will do before the regular season starts.
