The recent flurry of injuries that have ravaged this OKC Thunder team has officially opened the door for fans and pundits to cast doubt on the club's title aspirations. The latest figure to question their supremacy is sports journalist and The Ringer founder Bill Simmons. I have now moved Denver into that group together, partly because this no-(Nikola Jokic) run was so important for their young guys. The Thunder's inability to rely on players outside of their stars has made them look one-dimensional on offense, reminiscent of the Nuggets team they faced in last year's playoffs. With the two teams set to face off in just a few days, Simmons will soon find out if his claim has merit.
