[Bill Simmons]- “This Nuggets team is the best team since the KD Warriors”
This was on his podcast today with Russilo. Russilo wanted to argue Milwaukee a bit but didn’t push it.
Do you agree? Are the Nuggets that good they’re better than all the championship teams from the last 5 years?

I’m not sure about that, but I do know this team is insanely good. What’s becoming very apparent is that hardly anyone in the national media watched a single Nuggets game this season. These basketball “experts” just see Denver annihilating teams all of a sudden for the first time and they are taken aback by it
Simmons already building narratives for boosting his Celtics if they win the finals.
I mean, looking at records going into the Finals we’re up there but we won’t know until we see what happens in the Finals
Appreciate the love from Bill Simmons but it’s premature to make that claim.
Nuggets not only need to win the finals, but they would need to dominate the Celtics or Heat (sweep or 4-1 at worst) to justify that claim. FWIW, let’s say we play the Celtics… the Warriors last year basically beat the core of this year’s Celtics team 4-2.
Bill is great and actually watches the Nuggets, but that team had multiple HOF players and a DPOY on their squad. Let’s not get carried away.
It’s swung too far the other way. Please start a disrespecting us again.
Simmons has respected this team since like November. Pretty much everyone at the Ringer has. Big Woz has been riding with the Nuggets since the bubble.
This whole “nobody talks about us” take is so boring and dumb. People are getting too high on DNVR’s homerism. No one gave a shit about the Spurs either; even when they won 4 titles. I can’t ever recall a single Spurs fan crying about it. Shit is cringe af tbh.
