Nuggets Ink

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, host Matt Schubert and beat writer Bennett Durando catch up after the Nuggets' win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. Among the topics discussed: + Where does Draymond Green choking Rudy Gobert rank among the great fights in NBA history? Who are the NBA's real tough guys? Fake tough guys? The fellas provide a semi-definitive list. + What teams on the rise appear to be legitimate threats to the Nuggets' repeat championship hopes? Minnesota is balling, the Oklahoma City Thunder are making noise and the Phoenix Suns are setting. + The new-look L.A. Clippers came to Denver and got sent home with an "L" once again. Should the Nuggets be at all worried about them? Or is this just the same, old Clippers? + Listener reviews! All five stars, and at least one of them is pretty saucy.
