With the Oklahoma City Thunder primed to return to the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2020, we asked readers what they were most excited about related to this year's OKC Thunder team.

Here are some responses:

● I like the way the team plays as a unit. The pass oriented version as opposed to “iso ball” that so dominates the NBA is very entertaining. The players are a great reflection of our state and the high character we like to see. And then Coach Daigneault is perhaps the most talented professional sports coach I have been able to witness. His thoughtful and strategic approach have been key to this team’s rise.

— Chris Benge, Tulsa

● Their ability to finish close games. I can watch with a high level of confidence and expect them to win most games when they are ahead or withing 6-9 points in the last 8 minutes.

— Larry Guthrie, Sulphur

● They have worked so much harder together, it seems! They deserve it!!

— Phyllis Adams, Oklahoma City

● They are young, have fun and work together as a Team!

— Rev. Mark McAdow, Enid
