They won't put the Bulls over the spurs. Simmons is a spurs admirer
Remaining teams in alphabetical order.
Chicago
Miami
San Antonio
Jalen says CP3 best PG for this coming year. Tony Parker love that he showed was for the Playoffs/Finals only. Jalen and Bill both believe Paul George is the #1 LeBron defender. No mention of Kawhi. I think San Antonio comes in at number 3 sadly.

And what did PG24 do against lebron again?
If you can't accept this fact, stop watching basketball now.
I'm pretty sure that they put Chicago at #1
On those vids they have a short segment called "miami vice" basically what that team has that can beat miami. Obvious sign they gonna rank miami at number one
Seriously, did George limit lebron? Sure Kawhi didn't shut him down, but he made things hard for lebron
I saw on another forum the list and the Spurs were #3. I don't know how are the Bulls better than the Pacers, but it.
Bill has spurs at 3, heat at 2, bulls at 1.
The Bulls are ranked #1, which is patently ridiculous.
Somebody needs to Bring DoK's PG theory to Bill Simmons's attention.
Have they released the top 3 yet? I don't see it anywhere on youtube
nope. neither Grantland's youtube channel nor their website have released it. Pacers are the most recent
The sprite file for their picks was leaked a few days ago.
Spurs #3, Heat #2, Bulls #1.

Bulls are overrated hype........ Book it.
Yeah the Bulls shouldnt be ahead of Miami, San Antonio, or Indiana IMO. Chicago is unproven, especially with Rose barely coming back and some unproven role players...
@ Chicago being #1 when Miami returned a young championship core, San Antonio stayed the same and Indiana got better over the summer via free agency.
My thoughts exactly. I frankly don't see this Bulls team as being better than Golden State, which Bill and Jalen have at number 9. And I don't see them as better than any of the teams ranked 8-2 either, with the possible exception of the Clippers.
Ranking them above Miami might be an actual crime. The last time CHI and MIA met in the playoffs (with Rose healthy), the Heat were a worse team than they are now and the Bulls were a better/deeper team than they are now. And in that series, the Heat thoroughly shut down Derrick Rose and won in 5 games.
Yeah the Heat, Spurs, Pacers, Warriors, and Clippers should easily be ranked over the Bulls. I might even rank the Nets over the Bulls right now..
Chicago is overrated. The only thing that makes them a serious threat is their head coach. Derrick Rose is still rounding into form and after him, they don't have a guy that you could call a franchise player.
IMO, it's
1. Heat
2. Spurs
3. Pacers
4. Rockets
5. Thunder
6. Nets
7. Clippers
8. Bulls
what do people see in chicago? they have NOT gotten better other than rose. rose is a top player in the league, but nate robinson is gone now and that will hurt them for bench play. hamilton is getting old, boozer went to duke so i put no faith in him and deng only plays well against miami. 2nd round exit.
Ehh... I'm not sold on the Warriors this year. I have them making the playoffs but I'm not sure they can match what they accomplished last season.
That is all Bill's list, not Jalens. Bulls @ 1 is pretty overhyped. The team lost a lot of important players like Robinson, Belinelli and Hamilton. I think the Heat, Spurs and the Pacers are better. I'd even put LAC in front of them.
ohh, they lost hamilton? that's bad all together. i still dont' know why everyone is picking the thunder in the west. durant and westbrooke alone will not beat us. short changing harden was the best thing their owners did for us. that reminded me of cleveland trading ron harper for danny ferry and brad daughtery said when jordan talked to him, he was grateful for it.
I believe the ol' sport let Lebron get an easy game winning lay up at the buzzer
