Wild overreactions, in-season tournament talk and the greatest Nikola Jokic pass we almost never saw

Nuggets Ink

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, host Matt Schubert and beat writer Bennett Durando wildly overreact to the Nuggets' 4-0 start. Among the topics discussed: • Matt provides four wild overreactions to the first five percent of the NBA season. Does it matter that head coach Michael Malone hates overreactions? Short answer? Not here. • Is Peyton Watson for real? The second-year pro is shooting over 60 percent for the season and tallying 1.5 blocks so far. Time to start engraving the trophy for Sixth Man of the Year? • Bennett, still working on growing his first legitimate beard at the recording of this podcast, discusses his Halloween costume and potential for others in the remaining years of his youth. • The first annual NBA in-season tournament begins this week. Are the courts merely bad Halloween costumes masquerading as good taste? Can the Nuggets win their group? Does it matter? • Is a surprise James Harden in your candy bar the new razorblade in a Snickers this Oct. 31? Bennett thinks so.
