Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a>Chet Holmgren<\/p>\n“I’m not focused on that. I don’t even know how far away that is or when it is. We got Miami coming up. We got a flight going there right when we leave here. We got to get ready and prep for them. How I feel about that has no effect. It’s up to me to go out and try to win these basketball games. That’s what I’m trying to do.”<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to go crazy about the campaign. But what I will say is Chet’s the ultimate winner. It’s evident by the amount of winning we’ve done since we’ve had Chet. His first year, we won 57 games and were the No. 1 seed. Last year, he obviously didn’t play for some of the season, but we won in the playoffs. And then this year. There’s a reason for that. It’s the rim protection. It’s the competitiveness. It’s the floor spacing. It’s the unselfishness. He’s going to do what it takes for the team to win.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 16, 2026, 2:30 p.m. CT Getting the train back on track, the Oklahoma City Thunder have looked…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":540674,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3783],"tags":[72400,7,6,310,475,179,3966,3965,30882,72482,72404,72487,72559,72488,73002,72444,72422,72484,72405,72485,72483,72406,312,72403],"class_list":["post-541594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oklahoma-city-thunder","tag-accessfree","tag-basketball","tag-nba","tag-oklahoma","tag-oklahoma-city","tag-oklahoma-city-thunder","tag-oklahomacity","tag-oklahomacitythunder","tag-sstssportsnbathunder","tag-sstsnokc-thunder","tag-tagbasketball","tag-tagchet-holmgren","tag-taghouston-rockets","tag-tagjalen-williams","tag-tagmark-daigneault","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnba","tag-tagoklahoma-city-thunder","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagshai-gilgeous-alexander","tag-tagsmg-listicle","tag-tagsports-news","tag-thunder","tag-typestory"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115907404689017326","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/540674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
