Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (15) shoots past Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (8) and forward Thaddeus Young (21) during the second half of an NBA basketball game, Monday, March 1, 2021, in Chicago. 
In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, Mike Singer and Matt Schubert check in after Nikola Jokic went nuclear on the Chicago Bulls. Among the topics discussed:
- Nuggets coach Michael Malone compared Jokic to Spurs legend Tim Duncan during Monday night’s postgame news conference. How apt is that comparison? What makes Joker such an unstoppable force offensively now?
- Jokic and Jamal Murray have found their form together in the last 10 games, but the Nuggets are only 6-4 over that span. How concerning should that be? What are the Nuggets missing? Are their problems fixable?
- What is Nuggets executive Tim Connelly looking for on the trade market with the deadline three weeks away? Is it inevitable that Denver makes a deal? Who’s out there that might interest management?
- Bol Bol is clearly at the back end of the rotation, with players like Vlatko Cančar now taking his minutes. Why is Malone no longer giving him meaningful minutes? Is this an indication he’s still got a ways to go in developing? Would other teams be interested in him as a potential trade chip?
- What would you like to see from the Nuggets going into the All-Star break? Is there still hope they can move up into one of the top four seeds in the Western Conference? Can they avoid the play-in round in the NBA playoffs?
- Looking back at that regrettable fast break to close out the Wizards game, we play the blame game. Who’s most responsible for what happened?
