In the spirit of this thankful holliday, let's post what are we thankful of our Utah Jazz. Please, don't start puny fights over Sloan, etc.

I'll start:

I'm thankful about the players we have this season. It's up there in terms of most awsome roster we've put up as far as I remember.

I'm thankful we have a very good coach in Jerry Sloan and the stability no other team has (maybe SA and LA a bit).

I'm thankful about the fact that we have a 63% winning percentage despite not having our arguably 3 biggest cannons play together a SINGLE GAME yet.

I'm thankful Deron is finally back (to stay this time around :pray:)

I'm thankful that AK is back to being awsome.

I'm thankful that we drafted Deron, CJ, Brewer, Millsap. They own.

I'm thankful to have such an awsome team!

GO JAZZ!! :D

BTW, Happy Thanks Giving everyone!!

I'm thankful Larry Miller keeps the Jazz in this market.

Ditto, and I'm thankful that the players seem to enjoy playing in Utah. I love living here, but completely understand why it would suck for an NBA player, especially if you aren't married.

That leads to being thankful we don't have any pre-madonnas on the team. They all seem to be pretty humble guys that play for the love of the game, which is very nice.

I'm thankful that we have had 1 losing season in how many years? Sloan may have not won a championship, but at least we have a good team worth cheering for year in and year out.

And I'm thankful for food. family, and fun. Happy Thanksgiving guys!

Today it is hard for me to feel any good. The Mumbai attacks are keeping me pretty bummed. Hope you enjoy Thanksgiving guys.

We've consistently been a contender for a very long time. Take a look at the Clippers, one playoff series won in their 20+ year history. Grizzlies never even won a playoff game. We have great management and the best fans in the NBA. I'd be even more thankful if Boozer could play defense.

I am thankful for being a Jazz fan, and have chosen them over Jordan during the 96-97 Finals (which would be a obvious choice, specially for a non American guy like me).

I am really thankful for The Jazz having a coach like Sloan. He's everything I admire in a person: he's a family man, he works hard, he doesnt want the credit for the wins, and always the first one to blame himself for the loses. A simple, honest guy.

Regards,

I'm thankful for girls in Millsap Jerseys, the "Houston Sucks!" guy, and Memoismoney youtube videos.

I'd like to thank the Portland Trailblazers for trading a top 5 player in the NBA for Jarrett Jack and Martell Webster. Seriously, you guys are awesome. That was really cool of you.

To add to Bat's:
I would like to thank the Bucks for taking my boy Andrew Bogut #1 and to the Hawks for taking some dude named Marvin Williams #2, taking those two guys off the board so Portland would be willing to trade the 3rd pick.

Honestly I think about how poorly that draft could have gone for us all the time. What were those three teams thinking? I do wish there was a scenario that would have gotten the Hawks Chris Paul and the Jazz Deron Williams. I would love to see CP3 roll with Josh Smith and Joe Johnson.
