In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene two weeks into the regular season. Among the topics discussed:
The Nuggets are 4-3 with several narrow wins on the resume that revealed more than a few holes. And now the national media is in a panic over Denver’s title window. Time to pump the breaks?
The boys dig into a few overreactions in a game of “It might be early, but ..” Chief among those hot takes: Is it time to start worrying about Jamal Murray?
Has Christian Braun already proven himself an upgrade over Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the Nuggets’ starting lineup? What happens if Aaron Gordon continues his torrid 3-point shooting? Is this the worst second unit of the Nikola Jokic era? Speaking of the big fella: Is the Joker really going to win the MVP yet again?
On the other side of the break, Matt offers up a few more overreactions from around the NBA, then the boys open up the mailbag.
