Nuggets starting at 18:47
We’ll just begin with the assumption that there’s lots that dislike Bill Simmons and lots that like him. Save us all some time and spare us of comments that start there.
Simmons absolutely hammers the Nuggets here. Lowe has been pessimistic on the Nuggets much of the offseason it feels like, and Bill is so harsh on the Jokić era it feels like Zach Lowe had to jump in like “whoa, whoa…”
Simmons laments:
- There has never been a great Jokić team
- Nuggets haven’t won 60 in a season
- (perhaps rightfully so) knocks the Nuggets again on the game vs minny 7 collapse
- finds postseason comments about being tired inadequate… paraphrasing “the warriors did this year in year out playing 100 games”
- also says Jokić is probably top 15 all time
This whole thing from BS is surprising to me. As if winning one title in the last 5 is some kind of failure; I disagree. He alludes to this being the tail end of this Jokić era with Denver, which I also disagree with. I just don’t see it. Zach actually spent the majority of his time arguing in the Nuggets favor, often with a better informed opinion than Bill’s.
It seems like some of the offseason moves, good and bad, that we’ve seen woven into a strategy going forward, are lost on some of the major media types. We’ll see.

Obviously Bill went too hard, that’s kinda his shtick. But I do think it’s fair to be kinda disappointed.
oh no Bill Simmons said a dumb thing again
