Nuggets Podcast: The looming Nikola Jokic-Shai Gilgeous-Alexander MVP showdown and shifting Western Conference landscape

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after a long road trip for Michael Malone’s bunch. Among the topics discussed:

  • The Nuggets split a recent four-game swing through the Eastern Conference, winning in Indianapolis and Detroit and losing in Milwaukee and Boston. What was the overall takeaway from the trip?
  • Seemingly inspired by the Lakers’ recent win in Denver, teams are starting to make a habit of roughing up Nikola Jokic. The tactic led to head coach Michael Malone intentionally taking a technical foul less than a minute into the Nuggets’ game at Detroit.
