As it turns out, our predictions of pre-game Raptors-Pistons drama were for nothing. (Also, there were no predictions.) The Raptors are a business-oriented team now — check in, win, check out — there’s not a lot of ambient chatter about the past. There hasn’t been with Kawhi Leonard, who definitely works to make sure of that, and there hasn’t been with Dwane Casey and Nick Nurse. (Despite some trying, let me tell you.)
Aside from all that, there’s still basketball to be played. The Raptors head into tonight’s game against the Pistons riding a one-game losing streak.
