  4. this is just a good team sports moment. i hope the nba community can come to appreciate this team over time

  5. He’s like a proud dad talking about his teenage sons. Even though he’s only like 10 years older than them lol

  10. I started tearing up with Mark bro 😭 this means so much to the city, we gotta finish the job though.

  12. I been shitting on this man throughout the season when things went bad, and probably gonna keep doing it.. but he’s more than a great coach. He leads this young roster with everything they need. I love you Mark!

  13. They’re winning it all this year. No way Pacers can take ’em. Also, Anthony Edwards is a bit of a bum.

  14. Last year, it’s Mazzulla. This year, it’s Daigneault.
    Do the next generation coaches have a training of roasting your team in national television or post-game?
    I blame El Jefe Gregg Popovich for this… XD

  15. Remember when Draymond said their post game habit of all being together would cost them?

  17. Just a great encapsulation of this team’s vibes. Getting called professionals and then immediately goofing off.

  19. This team is so damn good and YOUNG. I hope their three stars take a slight paycut a la Duncan/Parker/Ginobili so they can keep this thing going for years to come. It sucks that the second apron punishes teams with homegrown talent.

  22. so happy for Caruso he made a great decision to leave the noncompetitive Bulls team and knew OKC had something cooking

  23. I lived in OKC for 1 year and it happened to be when they made the finals. That city loves the Thunder. It’s their only professional sports team. A finals win would be awesome for OKC

  24. I hope their tradition of messing with the interviewee never dies. I was hoping they would start stacking their hats on him.

  28. I’ve never seen such a young team that is this professional. Memphis Grizzlies were said to be supposed to be in this position back in 2022 lol. I’ve been checking out SGA’s games since his college years and man did he overcome lots of obstacles. Now it’s time to have Larry O’ tour Canada!

  29. Yo so do we think the pacers can take OKC to 7 games? What’s everyone’s predictions on the series?

  31. I’m not a fan of the style the thunder play but Presti might be the best team builder in sports history. Presti and whomever builds the pacers have routinely built great teams without needing to sign big time free agents. The pacers and thunder are who the warriors and heat think they are

  33. They are a fucking team and can play defense. This will be a hard out for whoever (pacers) win the East.

  34. I genuinely can’t work out why I dislike this team as much as I do. Team seems to be loaded with good people, no drama, play high quality ball. And it’s not even a jealousy thing cos I felt the same after the Mavs beat them in the playoffs last season. I think I’m just a bitter old man. 

  35. Man this shit is making me so nostalgic cuz it reminds me so much of the young Warriors. OKC fans — make sure to savor every moment of this. This is a special team. They’re gonna be around for a while

  36. Fuck the haters. I love the vibes at OKC. They really be having fun out there

  37. Side note but if Mark Daigneault was an NHL coach his name would be pronounced Dane-yo instead of Dagnolt.

  41. Bunch of crybabies in this thread. OKC are incredibly good, they’re having fun and playing hard. What more do you want from basketball?
