MVP (NIKOLA JOKIĆ)

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene as Denver heads to Los Angeles for Game 3 of its first-round NBA Playoffs series against the Clippers. Among the topics discussed:

+ Two games into the series and things are deadlocked in more ways than one. Total score: 215-214, Clippers. Total turnovers: 31-31. Games won: 1-1. So who has the edge ahead of Game 3? Should we expect more of the same in Los Angeles?

+ Kawhi Leonard torched the Nuggets for 39 points on 15-of-19 shooting in Game 2. What can Denver do to slow down the Clippers' superstar as the series shifts to L.A.?

+ Is Nikola Jokic hurt? The Nuggets big man has struggled from the free-throw line and even threw a sleeve on his arm midway through Game 2. What can interim head coach David Adelman do to get his superstar untracked?

+ Michael Porter Jr. responded to a Game 1 dud with a much better performance in Game 2, yet a costly end-of-game turnover left him blaming himself for the loss. The veteran forward also revealed his breaking in a new brace on his foot. What does that mean going forward?

+ More: Is Christian Braun lacking aggression or are the Clippers simply limiting what he does well? Russell Westbrook keeps hitting big shots ... and doing other things. Are the pros outweighing the cons? Is David Adelman holding his how against Ty Lue? How impressive was Jamal Murray's UFC-style hoisting of Norman Powell? And why was he wearing a long-sleeve undershirt?

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after Denver's stunning Game 1 comeback against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Among the topics discussed:

+ The Nuggets rallied from 13 points down in the fourth quarter to take down Oklahoma City on its home court in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series. How did the Nuggets pull it off? And how does the ball keep finding Aaron Gordon in these clutch moments?

+ How much did coaching decisions play into the dramatic final minutes of the game? Did Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault err in sticking with his fouling strategy with Nikola Jokic off the court? Was it wise to extend the game with his team leading by three in the final seconds?

+ Is there any doubt about Nikola Jokic's MVP bona fides after his heroic Game 1 performance?

+ Russell Westbrook continues to shine in the playoffs. Is this version of the Russ fans should expect to see as the series ramps up?

+ What is the legacy of the Nuggets' series win over the Clippers? Who gained the most from those seven games? And what does it say about Denver that it's advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs six times in seven years?

Episode 294: "Knicks in 6"

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after Denver's Game 4 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Among the topics discussed:

+ Game 4 reactions: The worst first quarter in the history of baskets or balls? Yes.

+ What's to blame for the poor start? Tired legs? The 36-hour crunch between games? Both?

+ What's wrong with Nikola Jokic? Another tough outing has some wondering if the arm sleeve is thinly concealing a nagging injury. The 3-point and free throw lines weigh in.

+ Conversely, has anyone done more to elevate their stock than Aaron Gordon in these NBA Playoffs? Could the Nuggets ever consider trading a player who's cemented his status as one of the most beloved players on the team?

+ What do the Nuggets need to do to survive the Thunder and advance to the Western Conference Finals?

Episode 295:  "Next Generation Surfacing..."

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after Denver's elimination from the NBA Playoffs. Among the topics discussed:

+ The Nuggets' season not-so-mercifully came to an end in a Game 7 blowout loss at the Oklahoma City Thunder. What was the biggest culprit in their demise? Did the Thunder's cynical approach to overtly physical defense finally break Nikola Jokic? Did Denver even stand a chance after all of the injuries and its relative lack of depth?

+ How did the Nuggets get here? Who is ultimately responsible for their second consecutive exit in the Western Conference semifinals? Is this all on former general manager Calvin Booth? What role did Michael Malone play in the team's inability to develop long-term depth? Is there even some blood on Tim Connelly's hands?

+ Now that the season is finished, where do the Nuggets go from here? Without any draft picks to add to the roster, are there moves that can be made to improve the roster or shake things up? What about trades? Could Michael Porter Jr. be on the trading block? What about Aaron Gordon or Jamal Murray? The fellas open up the trade machine to dive into a few possibilities.

+ Did David Adelman do enough to take over as head coach for the 2025-26 season? Will the Nuggets opt to promote from within to fill both that opening and then one for general manager?

What's next after Denver is eliminated by Oklahoma City Thunder?

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene with the NBA Finals on tap. Among the topics discussed:

+ Speaking to reporters twice in the span of a few weeks, Nuggets President and Governor Josh Kroenke made it clear he thinks the answers to Denver's problems are internal. Then he backed that up by officially hiring interim coach David Adelman as head coach. How much pressure does that put on Adelman to get the team back to title contention?

+ Do Kroenke's words mean we can expect another internal hire for the general manager opening? Who might that be? When will that decision be made? And who are some of the bargain free agents they can target?

+ Are the Nuggets about to become a half-court team with a totally remade defensive strategy? Changes to the coaching staff seem to indicate that while there is an emphasis on maintaining the status quo, things won't be entirely the same schematically.

+ Bennett and Matt give an assessment of each of the Nuggets on the roster. Is their stock up, down or holding steady? And what does that mean for their future in Denver?
