It is Thanksgiving week, which is a time which I use as a marker, one of the first markers of the season, often for players who are rookies, who have found themselves into roles, and we give them a bit of time. Yagord Yelman, Ace Bailey, one of those guys, we go, they're doing something, like, we'll see what a Jeremiah fears, they're starting, the production's like, eh, and then when we get to Thanksgiving, I tend to make it an adjustment. Do we hold and see the improvement or is it just

sort of stagnant? And then we drop and cycle back in two months time. That's how I like to use

that Thanksgiving period. However you like to use it, up to you. Also, I know this will happen. Someone

will wish me a happy Thanksgiving. Nothing to do with us. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving.

It's not a thing here. It is very specific to one country this Thursday, which just happens to be the country that holds all of the relevant NBA teams. All right, let's talk about week six. Let's talk about how it looks, how the schedule plays out. It is a lighter week than we've had over the past couple

for a very specific reason. There are no games on Thanksgiving. We have 10 on Monday. We have

three on Tuesday. We have nine on Wednesday, which honestly, when I saw that, I fell to my knees

in a Walmart parking lot because in previous years we've had 15 on the Wednesday, which of course is nonsense. It's ridiculous. It is insane.

Nine, beautiful. We have zero on Thursday. We have 11 on Friday, which is okay. Again, sometimes you come out with a 15-014, so I love it, 11.

And then eight on Saturday, eight on Sunday.

So we've got six playable days this week, six playable days of action for this upcoming week,

which is the stock standard way that the NBA runs Thanksgiving week.

How does it look in terms of games played split throughout the teams?

Well, we have another two teams this week that play two games.
