    Doesn't really take into account how you rank as an overall player. The voters also takes into account your value/contribution to the team. Bulls overachieved, and Noah was the catalyst. He was 4th in MVP voting.

    He's obviously not better than Howard.

    And Harden should take this as motivation. No way a first-team all-nba player should have played like that in the playoffs. Absolute no reason.

    The Noah love is ridiculous.

    Howard is a better rim protector and offensive player in general.

    Give me a break.

    I completely agree with Noah over Howard.

    So Rockets has a All-NBA first teamer, a second teamer, and a defensive 3rd teamer, and lost in the first round. On the other hand, Heat has only one All-NBA teamer and Spurs has none, yet they are in the finals.

    A player who made all NBA first team and a player that made all NBA second team and a first round exit.Ya, coaching isn't the problem. The decision to keep McHale hurts my brain.

    Not that uncommon to have 2 All-NBA players and get ousted in the 1st Round:

    2013: Chris Paul (1st team) Blake Griffin (2nd team)
    2013: Kobe Bryant (1st team) Dwight Howard (3rd team)
    2012: Carmelo Anthony (3rd team) Tyson Chandler (3rd team)
    2009: Tim Duncan (2nd team) Tony Parker (3rd team)
    2008: Yao Ming (3rd team) Tracy McGrady (3rd team)
    2008: Amare Stoudemire (2nd team) Steve Nash (2nd team)
    2007: Yao Ming (2nd team) Tracy McGrady (2nd team)

    Spurs share the ball to the point where no one guy has stand out stats. As for Miamia PF is stacked so bosh was left out and Wade missed too many games this year.

    This is what happens when the first teamer put in an effort not befitting a first teamer. Subpar on offense and embarrassing on defense.

    We need to trade the fake All NBA player for a real All NBA player when we still have a chance.

    Oh, sorry Tony.

    Anyway, congrats to Harden and Howard.

    My point is instead of adding another superstar, maybe Morey should look for some really good role players and good coach.

    I'd trade our All-Nba guys and All-defensive guy for the Heat's All-NBA guy any day.
