Nuggets Podcast: What went wrong for Denver, what comes next and the Nikola Jokic book to come with Mike Singer
Denver Post
In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert are joined by esteemed author and former Nuggets beat writer Mike Singer. Among the topics discussed:
- Mike weighs in on what went wrong for the Nuggets after they were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-3 in the Western Conference semifinals. Did Denver not have the depth needed to defend its title? Was this team compromised from the very start?
- Bennett talks about head coach Michael Malone’s reluctance to rely on youth when the team needed an answer for the unrelenting T-Wolves. Did the head coach run his players into the ground, as he suggested during an end-of-season news conference? Or did he not have a choice?
- Mike talks about the work that went into producing his debut book: “Why So Serious? The Untold Story of Nikola Jokic.” He shares never-before-heard anecdotes ahead of the book’s upcoming release.
- After the passing of NBA legend Bill Walton, Mike and Bennett share personal stories of their interactions with the Basketball Hall of Famer.
- Who wins the finals assuming the Dallas Mavericks eliminate the Timberwolves? The Boston Celtics await the outcome.
