The Thunder had one of the greatest regular seasons in NBA history, breaking the record for point differential, meaning they won their games by more combined points than any team ever.

They won 68 games, surpassing their previous franchise record of 60 wins, and became only the seventh team ever to win 68 games, which is the fifth-most wins in league history.

The Thunder also set the record for the most double-digit wins in NBA history, winning 54 games by double digits, the most ever. They had more double-digit wins than the second-place team in the West, the Houston Rockets, had total wins this season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder finished the NBA regular season with a historic 29-1 record against Eastern Conference teams. The Thunder's average margin of victory in those 29 wins was 19.2 points. The Western Conference has historically been stronger than the East, and this year is no exception.

Only 1 coach in the NBA won COTY back-2-back and it's Monty Williams.

Daigneault doesn't deserve it in my opinion and the voting shows that so far since he barely has any votes versus Atkinson, Bickerstaff and Udoka.

Atkinson is going to win it going by what the current pole submissions show from the voters, but I think Bickerstaff deserves it over everyone judging by where the teams came from the previous year. The Pistons were the worse team in the league last year, had no superstars go to them and they went from worse team in the NBA to legit 6th seed in the playoffs.

OKC vs 2024: +8 Wins
Cle vs 2024: +16 Wins
Det vs 2024: +30 Wins
