In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after Denver’s Game 4 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Among the topics discussed: Game 4 reactions: The worst first quarter in the history of baskets or balls? Yes. What’s to blame for the poor start? Tired legs? The 36-hour crunch between games? Both?

The Nuggets delivered a performance only a mother could love. Pass out the Capri-Suns and orange slices. They won the participation trophy. They tried really hard. But in the biggest game of the Western Conference semifinals, where results matter more than energy and effort, the Nuggets shot like the rim was a moving target. Airballs. Clanks. Clunks. Bricks. It was unspeakably bad. We expect this from the Rockies, but not the most clutch team Colorado has seen since the 2015 Broncos. Broncos coach Sean Payton and GM George Paton sat courtside for the 92-87 loss and were reminded what Denver’s offense…

By LISA MASCARO WASHINGTON (AP) — What, exactly, the Republican Party stands for in terms of economic policy in the second Trump administration is a question reaching an inflection point. Is it the party that promotes free-market prosperity or a 21st-century populism? Does it stick with the “No new taxes” pledge that has been GOP political orthodoxy for decades or do Republicans tax the rich, as President Donald Trump suggests? Roll back the Obama-era’s health care expansion and the President Joe Biden’s green energy investments or protect the federal flow of investment dollars generating jobs in the states? Slash deficit…

All of that is doing great.” An early…
