What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Eric Smith @Eric__Smith
Not the way you wanted it to end, obviously. But…
A 48 win season…
A playoff appearance (5th seed!)…
Barnes=Rookie of the Year
FVV=All Star
Siakam: potential All NBA…?
Trent…solid season
Plenty to build on & tweak for Ujiri/Webster; plenty for the future for the fans – 9:38 PM
Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
The Raptors didn’t have enough shooting (and nowhere close once VanVleet went down), a viable backup PG or a real C. Impressive season, but lots of work to be done. Boucher and Thad Young UFA but lots of space under tax to bring 1 or both back and use MLE. Trades also possible. – 9:32 PM
David Thorpe @coachthorpe
Lots of talk about how Raps were better without FVV. Injured and slowed, I get it. And he’s been shooting poorly because of it, I suspect. But 3-20 from 3 is not something that can lead to a win. And that’s where Fred could likely help. – 8:38 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Nice quick pre-game sessions with Nick Nurse and Doc Rivers, which was most welcome.
No news, just there’ll be no Fred VanVleet (like that was a possibility) – 6:00 PM
Mike Ganter @Mike_Ganter
No surprise. VanVleet officially out tonight. – 5:27 PM
Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
No Fred VanVleet tonight – 5:25 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Nick Nurse says that Fred VanVleet is out tonight. – 5:23 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
VanVleet (hip) is out for Game 6. – 5:18 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Fred VanVleet officially won’t play tonight in Game 6, per Raptors coach Nick Nurse. – 5:17 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Fred VanVleet is out again tonight #Sixers – 5:17 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Fred VanVleet is out for Game 6 because of his hip flexor strain. – 5:17 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
VanVleet has officially been ruled out for tonight. – 5:17 PM

More on this storyline

Tim Reynolds: Fred VanVleet is officially doubtful for Game 6. -via Twitter @ByTimReynolds / April 27, 2022
Austin Krell: Doc Rivers noted that the game plan doesn’t change that much with Fred VanVleet out tonight. Says it adds things defensively for Toronto and takes away some of what they can do offensively. -via Twitter @NBAKrell / April 25, 2022
Rich Hoffman: Nick Nurse says Scottie Barnes will likely start for Fred VanVleet. Still didn’t say who will play the 5, could be Birch/Achiuwa/Thad. -via Twitter @rich_hofmann / April 25, 2022
