How big a snub was it? In history of 60 win teams in NBA, only 6 did not have 2 all NBA players. 3 were in era when there were only 2 all-NBA teams…..I believe 2 of those were 1986 Celtics and 1989 Lakers. One of modern teams was 2010 Cavs - understandable given Lebron was only good player on team and another was the Dirk led Mavs that lost in first round.
Meanwhile, Lakers have 2 even though they were a play-in team. Suns also had 2 and they get swept in first round.
Brown was victim of perception that Celtics have so many good players. Yet here we are again in ECF without Porzingas looking better than ever.
Brown was also a victim of the change in the voting rules. He was the 16th highest vote getter, and would have made it if they hadn't allowed 7 guards on the teams.
But also a beneficiary of the 65-game rule.
I do think Cs deserved at least 2 All-NBA teamers having lapped the field in the reg season. 14-game lead over East and something like 7-game lead over everyone. Much more deserving than the Lakers (play-in team) and Suns (not even a 50-win team) both having 2 each.

I'm not sure that mattered. Would Bam or AD have been listed as a forward under the old rules? If not, then Embiid making the team would hardly have mattered to Brown's chances. Who else was kept off by the 65 games limit?

Randle was having an awesome stretch and Knicks were barely losing when he went down.
Relevant. I was forgetting him. But it wasn't awesome enough to overcome him only playing 46 games.
Markkanen another guy who's put up great numbers but without the wins.
Jaylen's defense also got attention.
And yeah, Bam and AD could easily be slotted at forward if Cs are already filled up.

Why did he pull Siakam and others so early in 4th
