Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you're able to enjoy this day with your loved ones. Since it's Thanksgiving, it felt like a good time to give my thanks for a few things.

I'm thankful for the standard things, of course. My wife, my son. My family, my loved ones, my friends. But let's spend some time focused on basketball, shall we?

But even more than all of that, I'm thankful for you, the Sactown Royalty community. I'm thankful for the folks that comment and argue over every article, I'm thankful for the lurkers who never even log in, and I'm thankful for everyone who falls between those two extremes. I'm so proud to be part of this intelligent, witty, sarcastic, and passionate fan base. I'm thankful that I found this place, and I'm glad that I've been able to share the experience of being a Kings fan.

We've been through a lot of ups and downs, mostly downs, together. Things are looking up a bit, and it's so damn fun. But I know that even if this hot start has been a mirage, no matter what tomorrow brings, we'll enjoy it, argue about it, and complain about it together.

Happy Thanksgiving.
