  6. the only choice this year i think. okc’s front office deserves a ton of credit for their team building, but ultimately it’s the coach that gets the players working or not. them ending with the 1 seed cemented it

  7. Scott Brooks and Billy Donovan can’t hurt us anymore. Well deserved. I just wanted to avoid the play-in. This team has been a joy to watch.

  8. Sadly means he’ll be fired within three years 😞 the kiss of death award 

  12. Makes sense. Leading the second youngest squad in the league to the #1 seed in the west should be rewarded

  14. Happy for him and Presti. Largely a team award, but many of his schemes impressively won us games we may not have.

  17. OKC could have almost went 3/3 on big awards* . Chet is 2nd in ROY and SGA might even win MVP. Extremely successful season

  18. This man is proof that teams should stop passing around the same old heads like a blunt.

  24. I’m not an expert on basketball, but besides the obvious turnaround on OKCs record, Mark’s play calls out of timeouts are excellent. So many well run plays leading to a quick basket, especially to close out the quarter

  27. I love listening to his press conferences.

    He just oozes confidence, humility, leadership, and basketball knowledge.

  35. Well deserved man 

    From the 10 seed to 1 seed, Thunder really improved 

  41. Thibodeau got robbed.

    Knicks been on crutches all season.and got the 2 seed.

  42. Absolutely deserved, but it just hurts finch isn’t gonna get anything doe what he’s done this year.

  43. That organization has been run so well for that market, they gotta be using AI or something lol. They can def identify, nurture and produce top tier talent all players to coaches.

  44. Being number 1 seed in the West this year is a MONUMENTAL feat and to do that with a young squad is remarkable.

    I couldn’t imagine anyone more deserving.

  46. Everyone is understandably talking about Daigneault and Finch. They both absolutely killed it this season. Daigneault definitely deserves this. However, there is one thing that kinda bugs me. Am I the only one who thinks Mazzulla should’ve been in the running as well? Maybe I’m just being a homer.
