In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene following a 3-1 road trip for the defending NBA champions. Among the topics discussed:
Do the Nuggets need to fear the Celtics or the Bucks more? Is there another team coming out of the Eastern Conference that should give Nuggets fans pause?
The fellas catch up and rehash Kyrie Irving’s miraculous left-handed hook shot that took down the Nuggets in Dallas and why Anthony Edwards should be feared by anyone who encounters him.
The gold standard for Nuggets fame is securely owned by Nikola Jokic, but when recently paired with fellow Serbian great Novak Djokovic in L.A., did Denver’s big man take a back seat? Bennett talks about his encounter with the tennis GOAT.
Nuggets are roaring after the All-Star break sporting a 12-2 record. Is the playoff form or are they just warming up ahead of next month’s tournament?
Matt learns about rizz, emojis and admits to not having seen Dune 2.
