Yes, the Zards need to beat Toronto, if only to get that "we can't beat the Raptors" monkey off their back. But there's a risk in putting too much emphasis on this game, including getting down on yourself if you lose or too high on yourself if you win. At the end of the day, it's just one game.
This has been a breakout year for Derozan. He's outplayed a lot of other SGs this season...not just Beal, and made the all-star team. But it's also his 4th year in the league...compared to Beal who is in his second year.
