It\u2019s Thanksgiving in the U.S.! Most people are gathered around tables, inhaling carbs from potatoes and pie, trying to avoid awkward conversations around the family table while side-eyeing football games on the TV. What a holiday!<\/p>\n
In case the festivities are leaving you flat, we\u2019re posting a series of questions related to the Portland Trail Blazers today. Feel free to join in the discussion if it brings you happiness (or gives you a credible escape)! \u201cNo guys. I, uh, I\u2019m down a rabbit hole of True Shooting Percentage here. I think we may have solved the Blazers\u2019 problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a doozy of a question for you.<\/p>\n
Who is the Trail Blazers Turkey so far this season?<\/p>\n
Now, let\u2019s be somewhat kind. That\u2019s part of the rules of the exercise. \u201cTurkey\u201d isn\u2019t entirely complimentary, but let\u2019s not make it a huge insult. Define it like this: something that\u2019s supposed to be a bedrock foundation, but might be just a little bit dry and overrated and definitely needs a little help (cream cheese and cranberry? honey mustard and horseradish?) in order to reach its potential. You know, someone or something that hasn\u2019t quite lived up to expectations yet.<\/p>\n
Your nominee can be anyone from or around the organization. Remember that the season is young and redemption could be just around the corner. Keep it lighthearted and not too mean and have fun with it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s Thanksgiving in the U.S.!
