Thanksgiving
Well, happy late Thanksgiving, I guess
Usually, we drive to my cousins’ house to celebrate, but this year, we obviously couldn’t because of the pandemic, but we still could video call family members to wish them a happy Thanksgiving.

Also, Klay Thompson injured his right leg last night at a workout.
The Warriors being my favorite team, I’m not happy about this, since Klay will most likely be out for another year, and he’s leaving his prime fast, but at least we have a rising star in Wiseman, who can fill in those starting-center needs that we have had for a long time. Also, with Marquese Chriss, Kevon Looney, and Eric Paschall off the bench, Golden State has some big-man depth. Eric Paschall had a promising first season on a bad, 15-50 Warriors team, so hopefully they can get back on track after losing in the Finals, Klay getting injured, KD leaving, Steph getting injured, D-Lo leaving, Alec Burks (their leading scorer last year) leaving, the season getting suspended, and Klay getting hurt again.
