DeMar DeRozan and the Toronto Raptors are in a tough spot against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Although they won Game 3 to narrow the series deficit to 2-1, few expect the NBA's Canadian-based team to win the series. To make matters worse, critics have been letting the Raptors know it.
Through all the criticism that Toronto has received, including some directly toward DeRozan and his parter-in-crime Kyle Lowry, who has struggled greatly in the playoffs, DeRozan knew there was only one to make it stop: go out and win.
Speaking of how hard the first two losses were on the team and how the Game 3 win changed the tone of the series, DeRozan told reporters on Sunday:
“When you see things and headlines, thins being said and you really sit there and wonder where do y'all get this from? … It's crazy to see it sometimes because people don't understand how sick or upset we are after a loss, especially how we lost in the first too games. We felt embarrassed…
The only way to shut it up is to go out and play.”
Game 4 tips off Monday night in Toronto at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
