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?
