Nikola Jokic's second ejection, Jamal Murray's nagging injuries and Julian Strawther catching fire


Listen Later

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink Podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert talk ejections, suspensions, injuries and rookie prowess. Among the topics discussed:
+ Is Nikola Jokic being unfairly refereed by officiating crews around the NBA? After getting ejected for the second time this season -- while shooting just six free throws per game — is there a case that the two-time MVP isn't receiving the same whistle as other stars?
+ Draymond Green is off to therapy after his latest heinous act on a basketball court. What is the reality of who he is at this point in his career?
+ Jamal Murray is closer to saying goodbye to a supermax contract as the injuries mount. Is it time for the Nuggets to take a step back and hold him out of more games to allow him time to fully heal? Or is this destined to be a recurring theme this season?
+ Bennett, who has been on the Julian Strawther train since day one, discusses his back-to-back games of note. Is he among the best Michael Malone-era rookies to date? His numbers seem to indicate the veteran-leaning coach is starting to trust the youngster.
+ A fresh batch of reader emails arrived in Matt's inbox ([email protected]), but no new iTunes reviews and an alarming lack of sponsorship dollars from the Northglenn boys basketball program.
