The last time Dwane Casey spoke to Nick Nurse in any meaningful way was the night LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Raptors out of the NBA playoffs. This is what LeBron has done – or had done – to the Raptors and Toronto, last year, the year before, the year before that. It was just another game against just another team or just another weeknight, except LeBron was there and playing and being LeBron. One game, one series, one set of circumstances and so many lives were affected by the loss to LeBron and the Cavs. “Now, you have to get through a lot.”And now LeBron James is a regular-season curiosity rather than a playoff crusher for the Raptors.
