Raptors' Tucker bashes Bradley's All-D snub, but Thomas clowns him anyway

Even on the rare occasion a Toronto Raptors player praises someone from the Boston Celtics, the growing rivalry between the two Atlantic Division residents continues to seep through.

Raptors forward P.J. Tucker was none too happy upon hearing that Celtics guard Avery Bradley had been left off of the All-Defensive teams, calling out the media on his Instagram account for what he believed to be an egregious omission.

All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas commented on the post, joking about how Tucker can't guard him on the hardwood.

Defense is one of the weaker aspects of Thomas' game, yet he somehow managed to secure a vote for the All-Defensive team. Tucker, on the other hand, secured three votes of his own, while Bradley received the most votes/points of players not selected with 46.
