Chet: 25 points, 9 boards, 5 blocks. The young man is working hard to turn us into believers.

Will be in contention for ROY

100% if his in-season production gets even a sniff of what he is doing during summer league.

And suddenly, Dieng looks like a lottery type prospect Presti thought he might be. We will see if it sticks, but at barely 20 yrs old, it looks like he is figuring some things out. At 6-10 and 220 with decent handles and a smooth stroke, better than average defense for a forward, and a new aggressiveness... well, color me hopeful.

Chet put on 12 lbs+., according to the summer league announcers in the Indiana game. So, it looks like he's at about 208 from 195. Still, IMO needs to add more muscle and mass to his frame. Time, reps and workouts will be Chet's best friend.

Thunder Signs Mark Daigneault to Multi-Year Contract Extension: https://www.nba.com/thunder/news/release-daigneault-230719?utm_source=insider&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=230720-weeklyinsider.html

I am curious if any OKC Thunder fanatic has the win/loss record for every OKC NBA season played and possibly the win/loss record for the NBA team that won the championship each year that the Thunder has been in existence? I noticed that the Thunder signed the current head coach to a multi-year deal but I wonder how good he really is?

He was runner up for coach of the year in the entire league. Coach D is exceptional.

Have you ever listened to him speak about BB ?

That still doesn’t say much considering who his Thunder coach peers are, lol. In all seriousness, Mark Daigneault definitely appears to have a better grasp of what to adjust and when to adjust that past coaches just didn’t have. He is willing to use short minute lineups to try out things that allows both him and the players to get the most out of each game. With Brooks, he was playing tic-tac-toe, Donovan was playing checkers, Daigneault is playing Go.

You can find this information using internet search engines. But, if that's your basis for judging Mark Daigneault then I suggest it's not going to be very helpful. Daigneault is widely respected in the league and I agree with others that he's the best coach OKC has had. He's both a player's coach and a good X and O's guy. Brooks and Donovan both struggled with that latter. Glad we signed him long-term.

Agree with some of both of you guys perspective.

Daigneault is the best coach OKC Thunder has had. He has been apart of the franchises' transformation, basically having to pick up the pieces and start from scratch.

Brooks (Carlesimo's replacement) did an outstanding job; however it was obvious that Durant & Westbrook weren't in sync, occasionally observed drifting into their own worlds during strategic time outs. Thunder lost to the Heat in the 2012 finals. Brooks was given more time to get the team together--fired in 2015.

His replacement (Donovan) had the Golden State Warriors down 3 - 1 in the 2015-16 WC finals and lost the series: then Durant joined the Warriors and Donovan's contract expired at season's end (2019-20), and the sides decided against pursuing an extension.

Let's give Coach Mark Daignault time to finish the outstanding job (IMO) he is doing with the team. Mark has kept the team together (very organized), players are attentive--huddled together during time outs, something you didn't see with Brooks and Donovan after their attempts to patch together an over-hyped out-of-control Westbrook and a mentally ailing Durant.

Chet 100% grew up watching and modeling his game after KD. Look, I despise KD with every fiber of my being. But even though I don’t respect HIM, I respect his game. In, fact, his ability, which I believe has been squandered, makes him one of the top 5 *TALENTS* to ever play the game. I’m saying all of this as a PRELUDE to saying that if Chet could end up being 70% of the player that KD is, with <10% of the softheadedness, this team will win a title.

If Chet can add 25-30 lbs in the next two years, get solid at 240 lbs, improve on his game and Jaylen adding muscle mass, Thunder will be a championship contender.

Like Urbanized, we despised KD for leaving OKC for GSW. He (IMO) failed at leadership, he allowed Perkins and Westbrook to run the team. Brooks and Donovan couldn't get control of the team b/c KD and Westbrook weren't together as teammates. KD quickly learned how a team worked under Steve Kerr. He took player abuse from Draymond Green, the Warriors enforcer.

Bull headed Westbrook, hope he has learned to follow the coaches' lead, many have better vision than one individual playing his own game.

Daignault is a much better coach, he controls the team and not afraid to sit a player, allowing him to observe the game. Mark challenges players to improve their game and uses his assistants to help with the team.

Traber and Al did their top 10 most hated sports personalities. Traber’s #1 most hated - Russell Westbrook. Wow. Just when I think I can’t dislike Traber more he proves me wrong.

I just wanted to come back to this post after he lit the Warriors up for 36, including a clutch buzzer-beating 3 to send the game to overtime with 1.6 left on the clock.
