In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, Mike Singer and Matt Schubert check in two games into the Nuggets-Trail Blazers playoff series with things all tied up at 1-1 and Game 3 set for Thursday night. Among the topics discussed:
- Michael Malone broke the glass in Game 2, calling on Aaron Gordon to take the emergency defensive assignment on Damian Lillard. How much more of that should we expect to see as the series goes on? Did Malone play the Gordon card earlier in the series than he wanted to?
- The Nuggets have received significant contributions from the bench, from a big Game 2 performance from Paul Millsap to Markus Howard’s surprise role in both games.
