86 I'm not going to read all that.![]()
Danny Green's tweet with the single emoji said all that needs to be said.
Congrats to Kawhi on an outstanding season. Congrats to Tim on extending his legendary status. This guy is unreal.
Yep. You know he's disappointed. He really had a shot at second team.
Kawhi couldn't stop a nose bleed in the 1st round this year. Media hype player.
This is what a 1st teamer looks like? Sub out for Marco.
Another year another selection to the defensive team. Congrats Timmy da Gawd!
LDN got snubbed per par.
Lol Jordan making the 1st team when 40 year old Duncan destroyed him.
Danny better hope Pop didn't see his tweet reaction to not making the 2nd team defense
He was absolutely better than Butler. Again, Butler wasn't that great this season defensively. All the numbers agree, and he himself as said as much:

"I think it starts with me, to tell you the truth,'' Butler said before Wednesday's 101-90 loss to the Houston Rockets. "I'm supposed to be this prime-time defender and I don't think I've been holding up my end of the bargain lately. So I think whenever I start kicking it up three, four notches on defense and not worry about offense as much, I think it'll all turn around.''

"I have," Butler said. "I'll stay on us about it. I'm supposed to be the prime-time defensive guy, and I haven't been guarding a soul. I've been worried about offense too much, and I need to change that quickly or it's going to be my fault."
You don't need awards to define a great player, tbh..impact can be analyzed in a number of ways..all-NBA teams have always been a joke, especially on the defensive end, just look at how many Kobe has been selected to..
Look at the names on that list:
- Westbrook..I'm his biggest fan on ST, but he was absolutely horrendous on defense this year, one of the worst in the league IMO..he received a ridiculous 35 points
- Lebron hasn't been a good defensive player since 2012-2013(when he was elite), but still receiving the rep votes
- Pau Gasol, one of the worst defensive bigs in the entire league, receiving 3 points
- Manu, Z-Bo and Wade receiving votes
The actual all-NBA teams aren't as egregious, but Jimmy Butler was an average defender, at best, this year..Jordan and Davis aren't surprising, as they are both severely overrated due to blocked shots, making it understandable..
I'm not knocking the accomplishment for both Kawhi and Duncan, they're clearly both very deserving, I'm just saying, I can't believe that the selection process is still so embarrassing..

Just wanted to post the tweet. But it´s deleted already! It where three of those:

I guess Gobert didn't make it due to games/minutes played, but he's significantly better than Jordan defensively, tbh..
It's also amazing how the Clippers finished with a defense that ranked below average, despite having 2 all-NBA 1st team defenders![]()
Pop never acknowledges his defense. He always goes on about Kawhi and Timmy but Green gets no love in the media from him. As a result, he goes unnoticed in the press. Even Spurs fans underrate him with the way some of these posters insist he's expendable and could be replaced by losers like Afflalo
if green is not shooting and if green is not making green sucks on d unless pop benches and then puts him back in
pop should not have to babysit him
Parker fans throwing other players under the bus. God, you player fans are de able. At least Green is playing defense. What the is Tony doing for $14 mil a year? Get raped by Chris Paul and Austin Rivers on one end of the court while shooting 38% TS on offense?
38TS?![]()
every post you post has tp making 14 million you think no one knows what he is making
at manu getting a vote

Actually they aren't lol. Might be time to buzz that .
TP doesn't know he's earning 14 millon, he played like he was earning vet's min..
which is more then what you will make in your life![]()
