Clutch players blowing it, non-shooters with hot hands, lazy defenders hustling– this game felt like it was in an alternate universe. Probably also felt that way because it happened inside the NBA bubble which was an alternate universe.
The deciding play happened with Houston up one point and just about 5 seconds left. Lu Dort, not usually the world’s best shooter was squaring up. James Harden, not usually the world’s most enthusiastic defender, was sprinting at him. I don’t want to say what happens cuz that’ll spoil the video. So instead, I’ll just say: Let’s rewind.

I still don’t understand why he didn’t just pump fake Harden smh
No bubble game should be remembered, massive *
Love rewinders that I watched live be retold(I'm 26 so I haven't seen alot 😅)
if we're covering stuff from 202 can we please do Game 4 of that year's World Series
Clara nailing it on another video. Always makes for a fun listen
Please do a rewinder of Marlin Jackson's interception in the 2006 AFC Championship that sent the Colts to the Super Bowl!!
I remember watching this game live. We should’ve let CP3 take the last shot because it was designated for Gallo from what I remember
The choke master and free throw merchant James Harden
GRACIAS POR ESTE VIDEO! De mis momentos favoritos de la NBA como fanatico de harden y los rockets
I'm so glad you bring up this stat at 12:54. You have two guys who have been derided as not showing up during the playoffs, and boy did they show that they deserved every bit of that rep. Chris Paul's been on the losing side of 2 of the biggest blowouts in playoff history (Including the worst blowout loss) and here in Game 7, he put on an absolute balls-in display. Harden offered up the same, and in the last 3:22 of the ball game, Houston and OKC combined for 2 made FGs, and 5 TOs.
It was a shambolic display that left me pretty confident that neither Harden nor Paul were ever going to win a ring unless they got carried to one.
As always, I'll say I'm a fan of Clara's narration and videos! I hope this helps your self esteem!
Isn’t russ carrying the balls? Not rocking the baby?
Idk
BRO HE COULDVE SHOT THE BALL. HE WAS IN BOUNDS. WHY TRY TO THROW IT OFF HARDEN THERE? Wtfffff
Heard Clara Morris' voice and instantly knew this one would be a banger.
Watching this live I thought "Man I can't wait for the Rewinder episode on this"
10:00 Not really. He is a foul baiter with extremely high usage. He is an overrated chucker that has zero drive or killer instinct. People like you ACT like he is this all time talent on KD LBJ or Steph's level. He isn't, never was never will be. That's why we hate him.
this guy Harden really greater than Iverson
This was peak basketball
“He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people. He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave. But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands. When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of his experience, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins. I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier, because he exposed himself to death. He was counted among the rebels. He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.”
Isaiah 53:3-12 NLT
This was written around 700 years before Jesus came into the earth, yet it describes His life perfectly.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
God loves you so much and showed that by sending His Son to die for us so that we may inherit eternal life. We deserve hell but He gave us heaven through faith in Jesus. He took the punishment we deserved and by putting our faith in Him we can be saved. The Key To Eternal Life:

because if Jesus really rose from the dead it is the most important fact ever!
Harden is far from arrogant every player thinks they’re at the best in the league
Absolutely love when Clara narrates

Nice video. But come already made a video on it.
I knew how it ended, but your narrative building towards it was very unexpected and lovely. The best sports (or basketball, at least) storytelling channel on YouTube.
This was the game that made me a NBA fan
omg i miss this lady for the deep rewind. Please keep her for most of them, please. She does a great job narrating these interesting deep dives.
Do more from the bubble
The narrator in this video makes me wanna cut my ears off “uh oh warriors” my ears are bleeding
The fact they haven’t done a Mcgregor vs Aldo deep rewind is a serious missed opportunity.
James Harden proves the "what's in a name" adage. How the hell is someone so soft got "hard" anywhere in their name? The absolute worst "MVP" I've ever seen in sports.
"Harden needs to prove hes the best player in the league " btc he just averaged 36 and won mvp the year before that 😭😭
This was dope because everyone was saying harden couldn't play defense. And he did that. I was so hyped up after that. Then we won a game against the Lakers and that was it we got bounced. Such a great time to be a rockets fan
put Lu back in the playoffs and it's gonna be a damn show, this was no accident and he's only gotten better since then. Watch out next season
The Nuggets comebacks need a deep rewind. Especially D-Mitch vs. Murray
Great work as always, Clara!
I remember watching this game when I was in college. I’m not even a thunder fan but you have to feed Steven Adams in the paint while he’s got that smaller guy on him rather than going for the three. Literally some of the worst late game coaching I’ve ever seen
I hope Chris Paul and James Harden NEVER win an NBA championship…
Should do that harden game winner against warriors
Has anyone else become a big Clara Morris fan? I know I have.
