As we all reflect on what we’re most thankful for with Thanksgiving quickly approaching, here’s a look at the best aspects of the 2017-18 Utah Jazz.

After getting off to a uninspiring 7-11 start and dropping eight of their last 10 games, it’s easy to have a bleak outlook about the Utah Jazz’s 2017-18 NBA season. However, with Thanksgiving just a day away, how about we try to look at the positive side of matters and show some gratitude for those things that do give us reason to be excited about the Jazz.

After all, despite some early struggles and the return of the injury bug, the Jazz are actually just one game out of eighth place in the Western Conference and there’s plenty of time left in the season for them to right the ship and surprise the doubters that don’t believe the defense can survive without Rudy Gobert or that the Jazz can fix their woeful offense.

Time will tell what the reality ends up being, but the fact of the matter is that it’s far too early to give up on the 2017-18 Jazz. So, in case you needed some reminders of what’s going right, as you’re sitting around the dinner table stuffing your face with turkey, mashed potatoes and all the fixings, don’t forget to express gratitude for these five aspects of the Utah Jazz.
