UPDATED:

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink Podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after the Nuggets’ win in Toronto. Among the topics discussed:

  • Jamal Murray made his glorious return to Toronto, near his hometown of Kitchener. How was the reception? And where does he stand among all of the Canadian ballers?
  • Peyton Watson continues to submit gems off the bench both offensively and defensively. Could Watson end up being the Nuggets’ best player off the bench by the end of the season?
  • After seeing what the Oklahoma City Thunder did to the Denver Nuggets last week, is it time to start taking the Thunder seriously as playoff threats?
  • Who’s been naughty and who’s been nice for the Nuggets so far this season? The fellas sift through lumps of coal.
  • A fresh batch of reader emails arrived in Matt’s inbox (mschubert@denverpost.com).
