2027 NBA Season

[xzone]

Haliburton suspected of having a torn Achilles. Not good…

I hope he gets better soon, it's very sad that he has such an injury at an age when he will experience the biggest rise in his career. It's very difficult to recover from this injury, he may never be able to achieve his old performance again.

If he hadn't been injured, they might have been champions. It's almost impossible to win the last game of the NBA Finals without the team's most valuable player. That's why I feel sorry for the Pacers, we should thank them for allowing us to watch such a series without a high quality roster. It would be great if they could be champions

[MK-74]

Oklahoma City Thunder won the championship as expected.

If Tyrese Haliburton hadn't been injured, we might have watched a different game, but I don't think the result would have changed.

This was the FIRST NBA CHAMPIONSHIP in Oklahoma City Thunder Club history.
2025 Finals MVP SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER.
Teamwork brought the Thunder the championship.

For the game 7, still a very close fight and the Pacers still hanging with the Thunder. But it will be crucial in the 3rd quarter as who might get control of it might have a good chance to win the NBA championship.

Let's see how the game will end. The first half has just ended and we're going to the 3rd quarter, the game is very close. Maybe that we'll get an OT on this game. It's very exciting to watch how things are working for both teams. There were turnovers already done by the Pacers but still, they're on the 1 point lead as the first half ended but that's nothing to celebrate with.

OKC wins! Sad to say that it was a dominant performances from OKC after that first half, they push and really outscore the Pacers, though Pacers did try everything it's not enough to catch up and rally back, OKC is now the 2025 NBA champ, they completed  their dominance from the elimination up to this title match they earned their hardwork with a ring in their hands! Congrats!

I thought that it's going to be an OT but when Haliburton was out due to the injury, then it's more clear on who's going to win the game 7. Feeling bad for the Pacers, they did everything and their best but you know that situations like that were random and unexpected. Many are dissatisfied of how this ending went but OKC no doubt is the best for this season and they're also a good team. Caruso having 2 NBA titles now and most of the roster are still young and could still get more, congratulations to the OKC.

The series ended in Game 7, as expected, and the Oklahoma City Thunder became the 2024-2025 NBA champions.
Oklahoma played well, but the real turning point of the game was Haliburton's injury and withdrawal from the game.
Haliburton started the game well and had 9 points in the 7th minute, but the injury disrupted all plans.
OKC won the championship they deserved, but I also wonder what the outcome would have been if Haliburton had been there.

The expected trade of Durant is done...

Rockets got:

• Kevin Durant

Suns got:

• Jalen Green
• Dillon Brooks
• No. 10 pick in this year's draft
• 5 second-round picks

Is this a good deal for Rockets? I think a good step for playing bigger. Losing Green isn't very ideal maybe but I don't think the same about Brooks.

Durant is 36 but still can do pretty good. He is still one of the superstars and can help a great deal for bigger goals. 

I believe this is good if Rockets wants an immediate result since those 5 2nd round pick is still need a lot of years to develop without any certainty of success.

Rockets already have a solid starter while Green and Brooks game is not that consistent and impactful. They are building around Sengun so adding Durant will make Rockets formidable next season.

They just need to work on their bench and they are good to go.

If Jalen and Brooks were just consistent, I don't think that the Rockets will replace them. But you're right, they want to build their next roster around Sengun and adding Durant looks good on it. They've got their respective roles to play with and also Steven Adams. Two towers for the Houston Rockets with Durant on the outside making plays together with Vanvleet. I've read what Jalen Green said about this trade and it was a broken heart for him and blames the stint that they had during the playoffs, he's not expecting this.

Haliburton was in a good rhythm at the start of the game, but that injury really messed it up. It may have a different result if he can play the entire game.

Anyway, what's done is done. Congratulations to the OKC Thunder. SGA did step up his game too by being the facilitator. He gained a lot of assists and madr his teammates play better.
The defense of Chet Holmgren was also superb. He was like a wall underneath the rim and truly made some great blocks that changed the pace of the game.
It's sad that Hali was injured but it was part of the game. Maybe next year.

This is always a what if while injury is part of the game challenge. Also even on the first quarter good run by Haliburton OKC is still closing the score.

Pacers manage to have a close fight even until 3rd quarter without Hali so I think his presence will just make the game more competitive but not to the point that Pacers will guarantee win that game since Pacer already lose 3 games with Haliburton on the floor.

OKC deserves the champ.

[mandown]

Oklahoma finally won the championship.

Shai scored 29 points and was named the MVP of the finals series.

He became the second player after Lebron to win both the regular season and finals MVP.
Lebron also achieved this feat in the 2013 season.

After OKC's championship, 7 different teams have won the championship in the last 7 years.

[yenerbatmaz]

Names who became the Scoring King, MVP and Champion in the same season in NBA history:

• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
• Shaquille O'Neal
• Michael Jordan
• Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Shai finished the game with 29 points and 12 assists and had a big share in the championship.

Sadly for Green it’s a business so if you don’t improve or develop well the team will flip you in able to get much better player especially if they found the new potential face of the team.

Green was given a lot of opportunity in the past on Rockets but he blow up big time this year due to his inconsistency.

Team like Heat or Spurs is a better feat for him in able to grow more and become star player.

Well that already state that fate already dictate on which team will win a championship this season.

Its just to bad that the hot start of Haliburton didn't end up well since he fall down and his injury became more serious.

Also what an amazing achievement gotten by SGA this season then create a record which few legends only get those records. Sad that NBA already ends and congratulations for those people placed their bet on OKC since they are lucky gainer on this event.

Now for sure many are curious to know the further moves done by each team and its somehow great that Suns also Rockets made a big move for trading KD also those young assets on their teams.

I tried my luck with Pacers win just for fun because it was paying out really good money.    I could have just gone for Thunder as well but 1.33 was just too low to risk it.

Congrats to Thunder! Just as most people expected, they won the series and got their second NBA championship in team history after a break like 46 years... They didn't even figure out how to celebrate it for a second.

He has learned the business the hard way and now for sure he has realized that even the other stars, they've also shared the same feelings when they were traded. It's pure business for all of the teams and even the known potential franchise players, they were traded like Luka.

Green was given a lot of opportunity in the past on Rockets but he blow up big time this year due to his inconsistency.

That's true, he's given a lot of opportunity by them but still, he didn't improved at all and took that for granted.

Team like Heat or Spurs is a better feat for him in able to grow more and become star player.

Spurs is a good one with Wemby but he should know that he's not going to be treated the way he's treated by the Rockets.

If you are talking about ML on Thunder yeah, it's not that very attractive. But if you bet like them on the handicap, they have covered it by a mile, and If I'm not mistake, it's about 1.8x-1.9x in the beginning.

In any case, there are still some of us here who supported the Pacers till the end not just because they are the underdog, but we still think that they can make a good showing here. Unfortunately, Haliburton went down with one of the worst injury a NBA player will experience, and we hope that he will be all right.

You’re right, I frequently place bet on handicap with both OKC and Pacers on live games. It gives me a high odds since I timing my bet on the score when it’s huge.

The recent NBA finals makes a huge deficit easy to cut so I always place my bet when the lead is at the peak or near since I’m confident that the other team will recover it.

I become profitable on this playoffs by avoiding the ML pick since the winner keeps changing per game. It sucks if you bet in alternating patterns but in opposite result.

Like me, I supported the Pacers because I believed they could win. And honestly, I really think they had a shot if Haliburton didn’t get injured. It’s unfortunate, but it happened, so we have no choice but to accept the loss,  after all, this is still gambling.

The Pacers lost and didn’t cover the spread, but they fought hard especially in the first half where they even had the lead...but things changed in the second half, and it was clear that losing Haliburton made a huge impact.

Betting ML on Thunders is not worth it considering Pacers has comeback magic on the last quarter of the game. Thunders on 4th quarter can still beatable if Haliburton was not injured. Pacers is still trying to rally on the 2nd half but they commit a lot of turnover that give Thunder opportunity to increase their lead.

I believe you are already in profit if you bet same amount on Pacers from Game 1 to Game 7 since their odds is high on their 3 wins despite losing 4 games.

[Volgastallion]

Congratulations Thunder on this win, they were truly lucky i feel like if Haliburton was on the pitch and dont get injured Pacers can win the game, but well the life is not made around the "if" so they are the champions and they deserve it they were the best team in the regular season also, so congratulations Thunders.

[Distraction]

You're hoping for a close game so there's a shot at overtime...

If I may suggest, since OKC is the heavy favorite, check if your bookie offers a 1st Half / 2nd Half winner market. You could try OKC/Pacers. Odds on that combo should be pretty good too.

It was just a desperate attempt, right?    But if Pacers were able to resist more during Q3 then maybe there'd be a silver lining...

Haliburton's achilles injury in Q1 was a big loss for them. He scored three 3-PT in his 7-minute performance. I can't imagine his potential impact if he was able to play until the end.

Congrats to all Thunder fans! Enjoy your title...
