In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Mike Singer and deputy sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after the Nuggets put the smackdown on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of their first-round series. Among the topics discussed:

+ Denver absolutely manhandled Minnesota without even getting an A-plus game from superstar center Nikola Jokic. What does this say about the T-Wolves' chances? Will Jokic be held below 20 points again in this series?

+ Jamal Murray got his playoff legs in the second half after a slow start in Game 1. What did Murray have to say about the game afterward? What does this mean for the Nuggets going forward?

+ Christian Braun is already flexing his muscle as a playoff irritant, gutting under Kyle Anderson's skin in the waning moments of Sunday night's blowout. Singer gives his thoughts on the dust-up and what makes Braun such a nuisance for opposing teams.

+ Singer and Schubert react to the opening three days of the NBA playoffs, as things appear to be breaking the Nuggets' way to start.
