What NBA Teams Have to be Thankful For

November 26, 2008

It’s been a good year for some and a bad year for others, but every team, no matter how bad has something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving (yes, including the Thunder).  So this Thanksgiving…instead of sulking over that trade you wish your team had made, look at the bright side!  Here’s some things you can be thankful for no matter which team you support.

Atlanta Hawks - Be thankful for a return to respectability, it’s been a while.

Boston Celtics - Um, 17 NBA Championships good enough for ya?

Charlotte Bobcats - You’ve got a young and exciting core.  The future is full of possibilities.

Chicago Bulls - Derrick Rose.  Enough said.

Cleveland Cavaliers - Be thankful for contract law which will keep Lebron around until at least 2010.

Dallas Mavericks - At least it’s the owner facing insider trading charges and not you!

Denver Nuggets - Having a real point guard.

Detroit Pistons - Having a surreal two guard.

Golden State Warriors - Be thankful for having an exciting, high-scoring offense.  You’re halfway there.

Houston Rockets - Neither Yao nor T-Mac is out for the year yet.

Indiana Pacers - Danny Granger is turning into a gem.

Los Angeles Clippers - Be thankful your team is underachieving and could get better rather than just being really bad.

Los Angeles Lakers - Kobe.

Memphis Grizzlies - O.J. Mayo is the real deal.

Miami Heat - D-Wade is healthy and playing great!  What more could you ask for.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Um….maybe the Golden Rule applies and the Celtics will return you the favor of a franchise player in the future.

New Jersey Nets - You might move to Brooklyn and get Lebron.

New Orleans Hornets - Chris freakin’ Paul

New York Knicks - D’Antoni, Lebron maybe?  Things are looking up.

Oklahoma City Thunder - At least the drama is over with and you have a city to play in, right?

Orlando Magic - Dwight Howard is only 22!

Philadelphia 76ers -You aren’t off to a sputtering start like last season and have a good shot at the playoffs.

Phoenix Suns - You get to host the All-Star game, plus your team ain’t too shabby.

Portland Trailblazers - Greg Oden, Brandon Roy - oh, yes, the investments look like they might pay off.

Sacramento Kings - As a fan, your number (#6) is retired!

San Antonio Spurs - You could start with being thankful for the last decade and once you’re healthy, this year should be pretty good too.

Toronto Raptors - See “Cleveland Cavaliers” and replace Lebron with Bosh.

Utah Jazz - Be thankful the Western Conference Finals are a real possibility.

Washington Wizards - At least injuries tend to heal, your 2nd half could be great.
