Straight Fire - EMERGENCY POD - Haliburton Tears an Achilles, the Thunder Win the Championship & KD Traded to the Rockets Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason breaks his well-deserved time away for an emergency podcast recapping all the biggest NBA Sunday headlines. During the show, J-Mac discusses how Tyrese Haliburton’s Achilles injury put a big damper on what should’ve been a riveting Game 7 of the NBA Finals, what Haliburton’s injury (coupled with Jayson Tatum’s season-ending Achilles injury) means for the Eastern Conference as a whole next season, whether we can expect newly-minted champion Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder to repeat as champions next season, why the addition of Kevin Durant makes the Houston Rockets a legitimate title contender in 2026 and how he expects the Phoenix Suns to pivot in their post-KD era.
