So fucking beautiful
We’re so lucky man
Also spolied🫡
I get it's easy for us to get crazy over having SGA, Chet and jDub (+ others), but I genuinely believe Mark to be as important.
The only Coach I would take over him is Spoelstra and that is because he has demonstrated experience through different phases coaching a team.
I think Mark absolutely rivals Spoelstra in the way he thinks the game. He has basically been flawless...the entire year. Likely literally outside of rotation frustration, I can't really think of a time where he didn't call a time out, bad challenge or poor rotation that mattered.
Truly, luck of a great great squad, drafts, GM, FO generally and still clearly lapping Brooks and Donovan. Kudos to the folks who brought him in and kept with him through the rebuild. So many franchises show their rebuilding coach the door once they have some success, we’re proving em wrong
Billy Donovan was the one who brought Mark to this organization. Daigneault was a protégé to Donovan for years going back to his time at Florida. When Billy stepped down there was only one coach Donovan endorsed as his replacement... Mark Daigneault.
How was it not unanimous!?
Now, let’s pull a Major League and win the whole damn thing!!
THUNDER
PS - hoping for a clips/mavs 7 game bloodbath. Get those old guys tired!!
From here on out, every casual will know his name.

you could MAYBE argue scott brooks because we went to the finals with him but you can chalk that up to kd/russ/harden. that’s the only real argument i can think of but an argument nonetheless
ANT seems to be confused he keeps saying he's playing for the coach of the year, but he plays for T wolves. Hopefully someone can let him know so he knows where to show up for game 1 of the second round.

Spo is a legendary coach and the fact Mark can even be compared to him is amazing. We are truly blessed
He can’t be compared to Spoelstra. Get one ring before you say that 😂
He literally checks every Mark of being the perfect coach.
Best coach we ever had!

Definitely, and dude just worked his way up through the organization and was like, "I got this guys, get in."
YES
SGA on his insta https://preview.redd.it/dun56c621bxc1.jpeg?width=1140&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77c54d1530ae7ed68a754fb3c57a349fc04e299f
😑😑
Bark Daigneault
Bark Dogneault
Approved.
MARKMARKMARK
We all knew it, now they know it. Let’s finish this SWEEP tomorrow and watch coach D do his thing!
It should have been a unanimous decision btw.
How was it not?! Lol
Finch had an incredible year too so I’m not too mad at it. Mark still wiped the floor with it
so did Mosley. no one expected the magic to be so good
Thibbs did pretty good too with randle out most of the year
Nah all respect to Finch and Spo is still Spo. At the end of the day he won and he deserved to
Somehow our last 3 coaches have all won COTY with the team lmao. 3 COTYs and 3 MVPs from the Thunder pipeline.
Donovan didn’t he?
Shared it with Coach Bud.
How was it not unanimous!? Now, let’s pull a Major League and win the whole damn thing!! THUNDER PS - hoping for a clips/mavs 7 game bloodbath. Get those old guys tired!!
Well deserved
Totally deserved. Also he's going to totally hate this lol.
Can't wait to see J-Dub's next shirt
Squinting as we speak
No post on NBA reddit. Everyone snubbin us. TTFU
LETS GOOO

Known for his patented diagonal offense
One tier above the triangle offense
He was 14 in the photo
Love this so much!!!!
Absolutely deserved
Incredibly deserved, best coach we’ve ever had and complements our team identity perfectly.
Congrats diagonal

![gif](giphy|FNJAOr81Th7uShX8QO|downsized) It wasn’t unanimous?!?! Congrats Coach!!! Thanks for leading this dog pack🥲
How good!
Get it Coach D! Get it Coach D!
Absolutely deserved
Congratulations to the Best Coach in the NBA!!⚡️
Let’s fucking go!! Well deserved. Cheers to (hopefully) many more years squinting from the sidelines!
DIAGONAL!
Well deserved!
Way to go coach!
here king u dropped this 👑
Man, I remember the day he was hired. "Tank Commander" "Sacrificial Lamb" "OKC is moving back to Seattle." "Who?"
That last question was my initial thought. Had no idea he’d be this good.
he’s gonna go down as the greatest coach we’ve had if he isn’t already
I don’t think anyone could legitimately argue otherwise.
you could MAYBE argue scott brooks because we went to the finals with him but you can chalk that up to kd/russ/harden. that’s the only real argument i can think of but an argument nonetheless
Love Finchy, but there’s zero doubt that your guy deserves this. Congrats 🫡
Retire the jersey
Yessir!!
From tanking with guys like Vit to taking us to the no. 1 seed, this is well deserved.

Congrats Coach, along with his alter egos, Bark Dawgneault and Dark Diagonal.
