The next three games are all winnable (Toronto, New Orleans, Utah) so it's a critical period for the tank and/or the quest for 20 wins.

I love that Vince Carter inspired Raptors logo at halfcourt.

Alright Salaun I see you.

Those might be the best drives we've seen from Salaun all year, and he had the nifty crossover on the fast break earlier as well. He's still raw but he's getting better.

Had a nice euro step as well. Still looks awkward but it’s way better than the beginning of the year.

Looking like a clutch tank loss so far. Nice games for Salaun and KJ Simpson.

Edit: And then Simpson and Salaun blow a two on one fast break :roll:

Couldn’t see the game, but glad to hear Salaun had a good game, continuing to show improvement. I’ve been as hard on that pick as anyone, but doesn’t mean I don’t want him to succeed. We NEED our picks to turn out and produce.

Looked at the box…was Nick really that bad tonight? TANK YOU JUNIOR! Seriously…we need no more wins.

It was good in relative terms, so not flashing stardom, but he's been much better positioning himself lately on defense and having some sort of plan when he drives on offense instead of just flailing and throwing up awkward prayers. He's also had a few nifty passes, and a few that didn't work out but you could see him making the correct reads.

Early in the year he looked like a totally hopeless case. Recently if you squint a bit, and remember he's 19, you can sort of see where the FO was going with that pick. He still has a long way to go however. I'm not giving up on him totally, but I don't want to set expectations too high either
