In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after the first week of the regular season. Among the topics discussed:
+ Jamal Murray is tired of hearing about slow starts, and he proved as much Monday night by dropping 43 points on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Is this the year Murray finally gets the All-Star recognition that's eluded him?
+ Aaron Gordon got the season started with a 50-burger against the Golden State Warriors. The Nuggets forward says he's not as athletic as he once was, but is he the best he's been at basketball, as he contended this offseason?
+ Is Tim Hardaway Jr. going to be the Nuggets' sixth man all season? How has Jonas Valanciunas fit in with the second unit? Is Julian Strawther going to remain tethered to the bench?
+ Christian Braun got his big-money extension, but fellow fourth-year player Peyton Watson didn't. What does that mean for them and the future of the franchise?
+ How has new head coach David Adelman fared running the show? His rotations? His adjustments? What's been different between how he runs things and how Michael Malone did?
+ Emails and iTunes reviews ... would've been read had anyone sent them in!

Jamal Murray goes supernova, Nikola Jokic trails in MVP race and an All-Star Weekend abomination
In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene days after a dreadful NBA All-Star Game. Among the topics discussed:
+ Bennett and AAron were in the building to witness the abomination that was Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game. Was it even worse in person than it was on TV? Can the game be fixed?
ESPN's Tim Bontemps released his latest MVP straw poll and Nikola Jokic — currently averaging a triple-double — was second behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. How high is the bar for Jokic to win his fourth MVP in five years?
+ Russell Westbrook left the lineup and the Nuggets played their best basketball of the season with Christian Braun going up another level. If Michael Malone was worried about messing up a good thing the last time he had to make a starting lineup decision, does the same logic apply now that Denver has hit its stride with Russ in street clothes?
+ Jamal Murray closed out the first half of the season by dropping a double nickel on the Trail Blazers. Don't look now, but Murray is averaging 21, 6 and 4 for the season and is on an absolute tear. Is there a chance Jamal could play himself into All-NBA consideration? How does his play over the last month change the Nuggets' title contention hopes?
+ The fellas try to fix the NBA All-Star Game, with Matt delivering a game-changer of an idea. And then ... reader emails!
