In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, host Matt Schubert and beat writer Bennett Durando catch up prior to the Nuggets' loss at the Los Angeles Clippers. Among the topics discussed:

+ The fellas catch up on a few superlatives at the quarter point of the season for the Nuggets. What's the best win of the season to date? Worst loss? Biggest surprise? Biggest disappointment?

+ What's the verdict on the NBA In Season Tournament? Is this a win for the league? Worth keeping around? Does anyone really want the medals that go to the winning team? Did the Nuggets at all regret not qualifying for the quarterfinals?

+ Is it already time to declare Jamal Murray's All-NBA chances dead given all of his missed games?

+ We found out Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther and Christian Braun all live in the same apartment complex. So which one is Kramer?

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink Podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert talk ejections, suspensions, injuries and rookie prowess. Among the topics discussed:

+ Is Nikola Jokic being unfairly refereed by officiating crews around the NBA? After getting ejected for the second time this season -- while shooting just six free throws per game — is there a case that the two-time MVP isn't receiving the same whistle as other stars?

+ Draymond Green is off to therapy after his latest heinous act on a basketball court. What is the reality of who he is at this point in his career?

+ Jamal Murray is closer to saying goodbye to a supermax contract as the injuries mount. Is it time for the Nuggets to take a step back and hold him out of more games to allow him time to fully heal? Or is this destined to be a recurring theme this season?

+ Bennett, who has been on the Julian Strawther train since day one, discusses his back-to-back games of note. Is he among the best Michael Malone-era rookies to date? His numbers seem to indicate the veteran-leaning coach is starting to trust the youngster.

+ A fresh batch of reader emails arrived in Matt's inbox (mschubert@denverpost.com), but no new iTunes reviews and an alarming lack of sponsorship dollars from the Northglenn boys basketball program.
