Use
forums/thread/{url}.html
forums/{url}.html

For threads and forums respectively and force the URL unifier, then go to the plugins page and Google SEO should generate the .htaccess code for you (I think it is capable of generating the code for such schemes).

That will generate URLS like:

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/forums/thread/thread-name-972.html http://www.mysite.com/forums/forum-name-145.html
