The nuggets weren't a top 10 defense last season according to defensive rating. The last time before that was 2018 Warriors (ranked #11) and before that you have to go all the way back to 2001 Lakers who were ranked unusually low at #21. Even more odd than that, the 2000 Lakers were ranked #1.
I feel like that says more about the inconsistency of using defensive rating.
I'm confused by this comment... Only 3 title teams have not had top 10 defenses according to defensive rating since 2000. That's not inconsistent
No, the big gap between the 2002 and 2001 Lakers
