No Celtics on All-NBA Teams

Kyrie Irving received 42 points worth of votes.

Al Horford received 32 points worth of votes.

Not surprising. Kyrie would have made it without injuries. Horford tends to fly under the radar because he doesn't put up flashy numbers.

Embiid not getting All-First Team is bad since that gives Philly more cap space

If Curry is going to be considered after missing all those games. Kyrie should be on the team.

Too far in advance of Embiid’s free Agency to be considered for Supermax. Additionally second team and third team both count the same as first team.

Predictable. Brad isn't gonna win COTY despite coaching a young, injury plagued team who lost an all star in game 1 to 56 wins. Smart doesn't make an all defensive team despite being the best defensive guard in the league. And Kyrie doesn't make an all nba team despite having his most efficient season and leading a young team to a 60 win pace. I'm noticing a trend.

Not voting Al on is pretty ridiculous.

Damian Lillard can be All-NBA 1st team, but Irving can't even make one team?

Who does he replace? Gotta be DeRozan. Curry is one of the faces of the NBA, he's not missing it despite missing so many games.

Curry? Much better player. Better season statistically. Team had more success. Sure, he missed more games. He dropped from 1st to 3rd team because of that.

Oladipo? Played more games. Had a breakout season. Carried a team to the playoffs that most people expected to be awful before the season began. He deserved to get in. Yes, Irving is the better player, that's not even a debate.

Westbrook? Averaged a triple double...again. Love him or hate him, he puts up historic numbers for a PG.

DeRozan? Legitimate argument to be made here for Kyrie. DeMar has 2 things going for him. Team success in the regular season, and he played in 80 games. Beyond that, he choked in the playoffs again, his numbers weren't that impressive, and advanced stats hate him. Kyrie put up equal or better stats in every major category (per 100) while being far more efficient. Ignore the regular season team success (only 4 more wins than the Celtics) and missed games, and what argument is there for DeRozan? Absolutely none. It's not even close.

AD is a pipe dream now that he is in Super duper max territory. Also, PG and Butler both made 3rd team, but Kyrie and Horford didn't? I guess those guys can celebrate at home while all of the non-All-NBA Celts get to keep playing.

Kyrie had better seasons than Lillard, Oladipo, Derozan, and Westbrook

There always were going to be deserving guards left off. I'm OK with Irving and CP3 being snubbed. I would have been OK with alternative snubs too. :)
