UPDATED:

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink Podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after two weeks with a bunch of news to discuss. Among the topics discussed:

  • For the first time in quite some time, Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic actually got a friendly whistle in a Christmas Day win over the Golden State Warriors — prompting a testy rant from Warriors coach Steve Kerr. Was the future Hall of Fame coach right about players baiting officials? And even if he is, is there anything the NBA can do about it?
  • Later that night, Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon suffered injuries from a dog bite while celebrating with a little eggnog. What’s more surprising: That Gordon was in such good spirits a few days later? Or that he’s a Nog Guy?
  • The Oklahoma City Thunder left Denver with a second consecutive win at Ball Arena this season. Is it time for Bennett to revise his “Nuggets in five” prediction from before Christmas?
  • The fellas engage in a draft of former Kentucky Wildcats currently playing in the NBA. Did AAron reach for Karl-Anthony Towns?
  • A fresh batch of reader emails arrived in Matt’s inbox (mschubert@denverpost.com).
