 What's the word y'all one thing that all 30 teams should be thankful for and I know I'm releasing this video after Thanksgiving But as a guy that's making YouTube videos for about a decade now There's three days every year. I know I cannot upload on it is the fourth of July It is Thanksgiving and it is Christmas. So though this video should have came out yesterday It's happening today also recognized that bleach report puts together their own list of things that teams should be thankful I did not look at their list everything that you see today is coming from my head Let's start off with the 76 is the thing that they should be thinking for the most is having a nurse as a coach There's a video by thinking basketball that he put together showing the in-game adjustments that Nick nurse did specifically against the Detroit Pistons, but in-game adjustments is something that is new Let's just say I'm not trying to talk bad about previous coaches like Doc Rivers and stuff But in-game adjustments is just something Notoriously the 76 is ain't really been able to do so to have a coach in there They got these boys humming Joellen Bean is the system by himself now playmaking and doing all these things Nick nurse Is taking the 76 a team to a whole new level next with the milky bucks It's too early to know if Adrian Griffin is a good coach bad coach or somewhere in between But one thing that they should be thankful for is he's not a stubborn coach earlier in the season They were playing a different kind of defensive coverage They went to Adrian and said hey, we're used to playing this way This was our success away and Adrian was like, you know what you're right Damian Lillard said hey, I don't really like the way you divvied up my minutes Can I play the whole first quarter and a whole third quarter and Adrian was like for sure? I mean that takes do we give him credit for that? Let's give him credit for that They got a coach right now that is okay We're listening to his roster while we wait to see where he stands amongst all of the coaches and ball Chicago Bulls It ain't a lot We're thankful for Alice Caruso You know why because if the Bulls decide to break it all down with all these rumors about people not being interested in Zach Levine and the Martin Rosen at least we know that the Alex Caruso is gonna bring us back in return That is where we are as fans. Yeah The Cavaliers have had a ton of injuries over the course of this first month of the NBA season The one thing they should be thankful for is Craig Porter, Jr That is a man that I did not know existed into a couple weeks ago And he's turned into one of the better backup point guards in basketball as a Undrafted rookie that is a rare thing. They found a guide to add to the rotation Especially we consider like Ricky Rubio going out for personal reasons or stuff to have another point guard That you can trust just is really important I think the Celtics should be thankful that they were okay with change, right? When you look at the success that they've had over the last four or five years or so maybe even longer It would be easy for them to say, let's just run it back. Let's just run it back Let's just run it back this offseason Of course, they made some big-time adjustments trading away market smarter person that felt like he was gonna be a Celtic life Or bringing in Jew holiday bringing in poor zingas and the team looks really good There there's some stuff that I'm still visually seeing them trying to grow in as a team But being able to look themselves in a mirror and say our current core is good But maybe not good enough and making the adjustments can go a long way and we'll figure that outcome playoff with the Clippers They should be thankful for Russell Westbrook's unselfishness. Is that a word? I'm pretty sure it is He was starting with the Clippers and playing some really good basketball after a year with the LA Lakers where it was Terrible and then obviously they made the James hard to trade it didn't work for the first five or so games and Russell Westbrook So I take a step back I'll come off the bench for the sake of the organization and since then the team has looked Dramatically better not saying that Russell Westbrook was the problem in the starting line up But to divvy up those minutes where these guys could play here and he can play there has just changed things a bunch the Grizzlies It's one of those teams. It's not a lot To be thankful for right now, but we getting close and close and a job coming back What what more can I say just get close every day We are closer to job a rent coming back and that is something to be thankful for get on the Hawks should be very thankful for Jalen Johnson stepping into that starting lineup and looking really really good He was a guy before the season if you watch or listen to the candy Beach and podcast I put together the video of the most intriguing players coming up this season and Jalen Johnson was on my list Because I knew when John Collins being going they were gonna have to make a decision between him is to debate And I was a Jalen Johnson fan because I thought his playmaking his defense and his his Finishing and transition was all things they could use and he's looked amazing so far this season I think he genuinely is a most improved player candidate I think there are some people that are above him, but he's in the conversation Miami He should be thankful for I guess a couple different things, you know Bama to bio is looking better than ever But don't get Roberson is the thing I got on my list because duck not only is Duncan Roberson back But he's evolved as a player where he's putting the ball on the floor get into the basket taking more two Pointies and he's ever had in this career just becoming a more of a threat outside if I'm a catch and shoot the Hornets I could call a couple different directions I wanted to go with Lamello balls still being great because there were some conversations on Twitter and in Podcasting about Lamello balls a player, which I never understood Lamello balls a Hooper But also I'm gonna give it to bread and Miller because when he was drafted second overall There are a lot of people that were like man, they just made the wrong decision school Henderson school Henderson And I'm not writing off school Henderson But Brandon Miller has looked really really good through the first month of his NBA career The jazz is a difficult one for me The jazz was different partially because I haven't watched a ton of Utah jazz full games this season I've watched highlights and moments and stuff But they traded for John Collins for maybe a couple different reasons one of them might have been the reclamation project And though he has it looked perfect the three-point shooting is encouraging I don't know if it's sustainable But John Collins was a player that was a good three-point shooter Then he messed up his finger that he missed all of the shots now He's back to shooting above average from three again I don't know if it's sustainable or anything But that just adds another element to his game if you're gonna keep up or train him away later for the Kings to watch Keegan Murray step up defensively as their stopper has been encouraging It's not perfect all the time considering as a year two player But there is a lot of moments where I've watched the Sacramento Kings I'm like, yeah, this guy is really after it His jump shot has not fallen much this year But that is okay at the moment because they're still in the basketball games But to have a guy that's taking the responsibility He guarded Luca the other day like that is that's big with the Knicks. It has to be Mitchell Robinson, you know, you know what you get it from Jalen Brunson, you know It's been a I'm gonna say rocky start But maybe not as great of a start as for him and Julius Randall Mitchell Robinson has been as consistent as ever when you have a person averaging that many offensive rebounds and getting that many Second chance points for his team. It goes a very long way Offensively on the glass and defensively as a as a anchor of a good defense. He's been Incredible like LeBron James right now has his highest true shooting percentage of his career and he's going on 40 it makes no sense the amount of time since this year along when we saw him take over a fourth quarter So these are things that people normally are not doing a year 21 There's never been a player to be able to do this a year 21 And you always wanted like when is he no slow down and though? He's not the same player. He was in 2016 He's still one of the best players in all the association and he's almost 40 It makes no sense and they should be thankful because of LeBron was not here boy if LeBron was not here But he is here so it's okay We made a whole video about the Orlando Magic But the one thing they should be thankful for is that the defense that they're putting together is real They just won the game against the Denver Nugget so five game went streak and everything is looking good in Orlando right now For the Mavs, Luca Doncis has been a player that has played himself into shape every single season itself for this one Partially probably because of FIBA so he played all summer But he came in and immediately put his his foot on the gas and the Dallas Mavericks have one of the best Offense in basketball It reminds me of like the Sacramento Kings of last year with the offense is so elite that the defense not being great It's okay at the moment and right now what we've seen because of the Sacramento Kings last year is that if you have that Combination you can become a real team in ball. Does that mean championship team? I don't really know but having Luca in shape from game number one means a ton because McKell Bridges started off the season slow The the Brooklyn Nets have needed people to step up Obviously Cam was doing ridiculous stuff before he got injured But then Cam got injured and the next man stepped up which was Lonnie Walker So because they have such a deep team they have somebody to basically replace any shoes, which is cool I know they're currently sub 500 but still, you know having that form of depth goes a long way There's no championship hangover for the Denver Nuggets and that's right I swear, I feel like every single time a team is coming off a championship that the year after They start off slow first month first two months of the season not 500 But still not playing at the caliber of team that just won the championship the Denver Nuggets said no We're keeping our foot on the gas too, even though we got Jamal Murray injured and so on and so forth So that goes a long way I think part of it is because of the way Mike Malone has talked about this team over the last couple years And I'm sure his coaching has gone a long way to not be satisfied with just one The Pacers should be thankful that they have one of the one of the best engines in all the basketball You see because Pacers is like a a racing thing and I said engines That's the Tarris Halliburton has been ridiculous this year all NBA Calibur player I would tell everybody to tune into as many Pacers games possible because you never really know what you're gonna get This team is gonna run they go throw lives They go hit three-point shots and he as himself has been a system this season Which is something that maybe not a lot of people expected coming out of the draft or he would have went higher number four The team that had the fourth pig you go do your research You know what team that is the Pelicans being able to stay afloat with Jose Alvarado being out He just came back to show shout out Jose with having CJ out with a collapse learn We're having trademark for the third out would have in Larry Nance out recently Then being able to stay afloat is something to be to be thankful for Eventually trademark for come back. They've had other shooter step up like the rookie Jayhawk shout out to him They have Matt Ryan step up and now Matt Ryan is injured So they've had the worst injury luck this season, but they're still winning basketball games Brandon Ingram and Zion and looking good together finally because we're finally getting to see them play for more just Then just a couple games here in a couple games down for the Pistons It's a it's a rough time right now Pistons fans the last couple years have not been pretty But if there's one thing to be thankful for it is a Sar Thompson because he's looked like the third best rookie in his class You know behind chat women. Okay, you get me defensively He's one of the better wing defenders in all the basketball We're talking about a player that's playing NBA hoops for a month now So like it's not a lot of great things happening in the Detroit But right now you got that the Raptors should be thankful for Scottie Barnes breakout because I think it just makes it easier For them to pick a direction I don't know what their director is gonna be But if Scottie would have came into this year looking exactly the same as last then I thought they would have had some bigger Questions to answer not just the og or Pascal siak of questions but deeper than that But now we know that they are trying to build around Scottie Barnes. At least that's what it seems like That just helps them out It helps Messiah figure out if he's gonna trade Pascal in for what pieces is he gonna trade ojana nobia Try to bring ojana nobby back because I think Scottie and og can coexist But just having Scottie break out as the the guy that won the rookie of the year then took a step back the year after Your number three has been amazed the rocket should be so very thankful to not be towards the bottom anymore Like this is a team that has real play-in slash playoff potential Which is something they haven't had in a in a while as a team has been towards the top of the loyalty for the last Couple years so this goes to what coaching can do and adding good vets in the locker room can change things They also should be thankful that um our friendship goon looks like the guy you feel me It's it's rare that you get a the guy type player and our friendship goon might be there for them The spur should be thankful that they won the lottery as of right now There's not a ton of other things to be to be thankful for you got wimby You know still be thankful for that a lot of teams don't get the opportunity to win the lottery in a generational draft The Suns should be thankful for a Kevin Arant playing like an MVP But B when Booker has played we all question like with them not having a true point guard How are they gonna take care of these responsibilities Devin Booker was like who doesn't who don't got a true point guard? Okay, he's average it like ten assists per game throughout the games He's played and I think he's average of two and a half a turn over so like his assistant turnover ratio is really good He's also still give you 28 29 points per game I'm gonna say they should be thankful for Kevin holding them afloat and playing like an MVP And then Booker kind of silenced in the noise on like the no true point guard who's gonna run point guard for us Rough couple days for Thunderfans understand that but they should still be thankful that they hit the next jump It is I think most of us anticipated the okc Thunder to take the next jump There's a lot of pressure to make that a reality You know what I'm saying when everybody is saying this is the young team has gone hit the next step And for them to do it is something to be thankful for I'll leave it at that on Thunder The world should be thankful that Carthage Townsend back the last five or six games in the season Carthage Townsend has been a better playmaker a better defender a better Scorer he's looking like the all-star all-NBA player that we saw Three year or two three years ago, and that's just great because it was a little bit scary for a little bit Okay, it was scary for a little bit so to see him turn into the version of himself We know he can be just goes a long way And that is what one of the reasons why this team has been able to be as successful as it has been through the first month Of the year the Blazers should be thankful for Jeremy Grant still looking really good You know to gay that man a bunch of money then 24 hours later Damian Lilly said pieces I want out and a lot of us were questioned like oh That's a big contract for Jeremy Grant How many teams might be interested so on and so forth if they are looking to trade away Jeremy Grant come February I think the way he is playing right now Teams will be able to look past the contract to guarantee years to guarantee money because his production has been so good It's three point shooting has been so good He looks like a player they can slide on to all of the other 29 teams a player significant role And that is something they should be thankful for because it is a lot of money the warrior still have a four point six Seven net rating with Steph Curry off the floor. That is the highest of his NBA career again Things ain't perfect in San Francisco right now But at least you know that when Stefan Curry is resting you're not Hemorrhaging on the offensive or defensive side of the ball and lastly, I'm sorry with this fan You always become last y'all decided to name your organization with a W You used to be the bullets that you would have been towards the top If you say the bullets but alcohol abali is not as raw of a prospect as a lot of people anticipate it He's shown a lot of stuff in his first month of his NBA career to three point shot looks real at the moment I don't know the teams aren't really guarding them out there just yet But he's making them pay early on in his career, which is really really dope. You know, I'm not an NBA team I am extremely thankful for y'all I've been making again YouTube videos for like a decade now and a lot of people that get into YouTube that make it Their full-time job don't get the opportunity to do it for as long as I have So I'm extremely thankful that you click on this video or any other video I've ever produced the podcast episodes and so on and so forth y'all changed my life Obviously, and I'm a hundred percent grateful for all of the support and all the love that y'all showed me just over I don't know the love of basketball and some of y'all was supporting when it wasn't basketball, which is crazy So again, I am extremely thankful For the last couple years and I want to continue to go bigger and bigger and bigger y'all I got some big old plans for 2024 and some of them are coming real and they wouldn't become real if it wasn't for you So I do want to say thank you so much and let me know what you think What else is your favorite team be thankful for as always I'll be in those comment sections
