    The looming Nikola Jokic-Shai Gilgeous-Alexander MVP showdown and shifting Western landscape

    In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after a long road trip for Michael Malone's bunch. Among the topics discussed: + The Nuggets split a recent four-game swing through the Eastern Conference, winning in Indianapolis and Detroit and losing in Milwaukee and Boston. What was the overall takeaway from the trip?  + Seemingly inspired by the Lakers' recent win in Denver, teams are starting to make a habit of roughing up Nikola Jokic. The tactic led to head coach Michael Malone intentionally taking a technical foul less than a minute into the Nuggets' game at Detroit. Is this a problem for Denver? Or yet another Rubik's Cube that the Joker will eventually conquer? + The Nuggets head to Oklahoma City for a big-time back-to-back early next week, with the NBA MVP race likely hanging in the balance. What does Nikola Jokic need to do to surge past Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? Is a split fine? Or do he and the Nuggets need a sweep? + Julian Strawther is out for at least the next four weeks after suffering a knee injury. Does this mean the second-year guard will be out of the Malone's playoff rotation? What does this mean down the rest of the roster? More run for Jalen Pickett? + Christian Braun has come on strong over the second half of the season, turning in strong offensive numbers while also improving defensively. Could the former Kansas Jayhawk be in the running for Most Improved Player? + The Lakers are surging, the Mavericks are sinking and the Warriors are thriving with Jimmy Butler caring about basketball once again. How will this all shake out come playoff time? The boys review their preseason wins draft. Who's in first place? Producer: AAron Ontiveroz Music: "The Last Dragons" by Schama Noe

    Jamal Murray goes supernova, Nikola Jokic trails in MVP race and an All-Star Weekend abomination

    In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene days after a dreadful NBA All-Star Game. Among the topics discussed: + Bennett and AAron were in the building to witness the abomination that was Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game. Was it even worse in person than it was on TV? Can the game be fixed? ESPN's Tim Bontemps released his latest MVP straw poll and Nikola Jokic — currently averaging a triple-double — was second behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. How high is the bar for Jokic to win his fourth MVP in five years? + Russell Westbrook left the lineup and the Nuggets played their best basketball of the season with Christian Braun going up another level. If Michael Malone was worried about messing up a good thing the last time he had to make a starting lineup decision, does the same logic apply now that Denver has hit its stride with Russ in street clothes? + Jamal Murray closed out the first half of the season by dropping a double nickel on the Trail Blazers. Don't look now, but Murray is averaging 21, 6 and 4 for the season and is on an absolute tear. Is there a chance Jamal could play himself into All-NBA consideration? How does his play over the last month change the Nuggets' title contention hopes? + The fellas try to fix the NBA All-Star Game, with Matt delivering a game-changer of an idea. And then ... reader emails! Producer: AAron Ontiveroz Music: "The Last Dragons" by Schama Noel

    Nuggets stand pat, Lakers get Luka and insanity reigns at NBA trade deadline

    In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after the NBA trade deadline. Among the topics discussed: + For the second year in a row, Calvin Booth opted to stand pat at the NBA trade deadline. Is the inaction an indication the Nuggets general manager is happy with his roster? Or did he lack options to upgrade a team looking to win a second title in three seasons? + Peyton Watson is out for a month after what at first blush appeared to be an innocuous injury. How worried should the team be about his availability for the playoffs? + Head coach Michael Malone opted to keep Russell Westbrook in the starting lineup and send Christian Braun to be bench after Aaron Gordon rejoined the starting five. How motivated is Braun in the wake of the demotion? And did Malone make the right call? + With trade season now officially complete, the fellas hand out grades for the most significant deals, including the shocking blockbuster that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

    Nikola Jokic puts final nail in Embiid debate, Russell Westbrook thrives and Aaron Gordon returns

    In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after Denver's annihilation of Philadelphia. Among the topics discussed: + Is the Joel Embiid-Nikola Jokic debate officially over? Will the 76ers big man ever play in Denver again? Is the new big-man rivalry between Jokic and Victor Wembanyama? + The Nuggets are red hot after winning six of their last seven games. How much of this run can be pinned on the injury woes affecting their opponents? How much is just the Nuggets hitting their stride? How much is getting Aaron Gordon back in the lineup? + The recent run of success also happens to have coincided with the insertion of Russell Westbrook into the starting lineup. Should the Nuggets keep the veteran point guard in the starting five, even after Gordon is fully acclimated? Should Christian Braun go to the bench? Or should Michael Malone go back to his original starting five as early as possible? + Is Nikola Jokic's elbow injury a cause for concern? Why won't he share what caused the injury in the first place? Matt goes full tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist. + The fellas power rank the Nuggets' biggest threats in the Western Conference.

    Has Jamal Murray finally put his annual slow start to rest?

    In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene as the calendar flips to 2025 with a Denver rout of Atlanta. Among the topics discussed: + Jamal Murray's annual slow start to the season appears to finally be in the rearview mirror. With the Nuggets surging at 8-3 in their last 11 games, is this the key to the season? + Nikola Jokic was the clear favorite in ESPN's MVP straw poll at the end of the NBA Cup. Could he really win his fourth MVP in five seasons? Or is it Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's time with the Thunder rising above the rest in the Western Conference? + Russell Westbrook is fitting in with the Nuggets so far in the regular season. Can this last for Denver once the postseason rolls around? + How much of a concern is Aaron Gordon's hamstring issues? Should the Nuggets sit him for a while so he's 100% healthy for April? + Updated Nuggets Ink wins leader standings revealed and more listener emails.

    Is Zach LaVine really worth trading Michael Porter Jr. for?

    In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene as trade season begins in the NBA. Among the topics discussed: + Zach Lavine to the Denver Nuggets ... not so fast, sweetheart. Can the front office make a pitch to move enough pieces to upgrade -- Or not upgrade? — a roster that has left fans wondering if the glory of 2023 can return to the Mile High. + If not Lavine, then who? Jordan Poole, Cam Johnson? Is MPJ worth keeping, if the market yields parallel moves? + Jamal Murray does Jamal Murray things in Sacramento. Is his early-season lull an aberration? Will he return to form? + The Bucks win the in-season tournament. Can the Nuggets find a way to take seriously the fledgling competition or are their sights solely set on another NBA Finals run this season and for years to come?

Among the topics discussed: + The NBA Cup is here, and people are wearing captain hats in Golden State! How about those courts?

Is Dario Saric already done with the Nuggets? + The youth movement is on in Denver after the young trio of Christian Braun, Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther played key roles in back-to-back wins against the OKC Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks.

Speaking of the big fella: Is the Joker really going to win the MVP yet again? + On the other side of the break, Matt offers up a few more overreactions from around the NBA, then the boys open up the mailbag.
