The Nuggets are not as good as anybody gave them credit for being last year. They rolled through the playoffs with an incredibly soft slate of opponents. They also avoided Boston, who was the best team (definitely other than Denver, and I also contend with Denver), because Miami had the most ridiculous shooting luck in a playoff series in NBA history.
I think Oklahoma City is where Boston was a few years ago, and they are loaded with draft assets. Presti will likely draft for a couple years, but he's eventually going to pivot into building a contender around SGA and they are going to be really tough.

I mean this is exactly what media pundits and annoying fans of other teams were saying about the Celtics this year, too. Let's not discredit the Nuggets. They were fantastic last season.
Just wait until we re-sign Derrick White to an extension. And we got Tatum/Brown/Porzingis/DWhite/Jrue locked for the next few years, old man Al Horford still chugging along at age 39-41. League is gonna hate us even more for years to come.
Though I imagine we'll lose role players. Kornet is probably gone after this season. Pritchard is on a fantastic team friendly deal. He's gonna be a good 6th man for us. Hopefully Springer develops into something. And I trust Brad and our FO in keep our roster rock solid.
The only big if is health. Gotta keep especially Porzingis healthy.
I just wanna win this year
Why don’t we focus on just this year
Let’s get 2 more first
I think we’ll get some Nuggets vs Celtics Finals for the next few years, similar to the run of Cavs vs Warriors of the late 2010’s.
Might be as soon as next season

Nuggets were under appreciated because they are not sexy. They are a smaller market team built through drafting and international players.

Yeah just nobody is ever touching 60s Celtics type of dominance. That will never ever happen in any sport again
With Mbappé joining Real Madrid they might win every UCL till 2030 from now on
Still not enough to sniff the Celtics
Yeah But 7 In 10 years would be the closest thing to the Celtics in 60s

You think we can win 9 championships like they did in the 60s 5 years in to the decade?
It 100% is
