In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Mike Singer and deputy sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene with the Nuggets preparing to take on the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference playoffs. Among the topics discussed:

+ With Nikola Jokic set to win his second consecutive MVP award, Singer reviews his end-of-season awards voting before discussing his recent story polling numerous NBA big men about Jokic vs. Embiid. How did his MVP ballot shake out? Did any other Nuggets make Singer's awards voting? Where did the league's stars land on his All-NBA team?

+ The Nuggets sat most of their starters in the final game of the season in an apparent concession of the No. 5 seed to Utah. Did the Nuggets get the matchup they wanted with the Warriors and the No. 6 seed? What will be the keys to Denver springing a first-round upset? Is there a chance Jamal Murray returns to give the team a boost? Singer and Schubert open up the mailbag to take listener questions about the series.

+ We asked for listener reviews, and they came through in spectacular fashion with a series of humorous and creative iTunes reviews of the podcast. Schubert reads off a handful of the best before Singer selects the winner of the coveted Nuggets 2009 NBA Finals T-shirt.
