Turkey Day plans

Though they may be on the road for Thanksgiving, the holiday isn’t going uncelebrated. A Turkey Day lunch is being prepared at the team hotel Thursday afternoon before the squad leaves for Indianapolis.

“We would have been a little worried if we would have had to eat room service for Thanksgiving,” Jason Terry quipped.

Some family members, such as Terry’s father and cousin, made it to Houston to take part in the holiday.

“Even though some family hadn’t made it down for the trip, we’re still family in a sense,” Terry said. “We’ve been together so long. We’re used to seeing each other and being together, so this holiday will be a special one.”

Any chance Avery Johnson breaks into an impromptu film session?

“Maybe be a couple coaching moments at the table, but for the most part he’s pretty good at dinners,” Terry said. “It’s more of a social gathering. We just enjoy the time together.”
