[Highlight] James Harden delivers 3 straight isolation buckets in the clutch
and closed out tight on the last Duncan Robinson shot attempt
Clamps with game season on the line
Edit: Can someone post the clip with replay? u/MrBuckBuck?
It appears on the Mitchell full highlights clip I posted, but sure, I’ll post it separately.
Appreciate you!
I would never be surprised how many isos in a row he ends up scoring, no matter how bad he plays all game. But that clutch defense got me there just when I was thinking why the coach left him on the court for a defensive possession.
the flair brings it all together
i have defended james harden for too long in my life to ever admit defeat
He’s a HoFer who deserves recognition. He’s a generational scorer that will stand the tests of time, imo
People will look at him and his career a lot more favorably in hindsight.
His prime perfectly lining up with the greatest team of all time is truly so unfortunate
He’s 1 of 1. Only MVP ever to start his first 3 seasons as a role player I think.
To go from that to finishing with 30000 points is an absolute miracle. He’s one of the best guards in nba history
You know what else is truly unfortunate? After taking that greatest team of all time to 7 games, the basketball gods were in a cruel mood that night and gave his team the longest shooting cold streak in NBA playoff history to keep him out the finals. Almost in a show of vengeance against Harden for daring challenge all the favor and fortune they bestowed upon the KD Warriors lol
A ring isn’t everything. A lot of “bums” also have rings. It requires a lot of luck not only to win a championship but to even be part of the team in the first place.
Having a ring doesn’t automatically make you a better player than everyone without once.
Too many people are unable to realize and admit something so basic.
pretty much at this point
He should put us on his PR payroll
Mods leave this up, mine is better resolution than u/MrBuckBuck’s
Oh shit we got Reddit beef over video quality before gta 6 lets fucking go
LOL where were you when MrBuckBuck beefed with marvolonewt!?
I was at home watching 1080p Harden when phone ring
Hello?
480p Cade is kill
No
LOL
Same place I am every day pinky. At home with my dick in my hand.
I also choose this guy’s dick in my hand
Marvolo Riddle > marvolonewt
Don’t @ me
Yo mods tell the other guy fuck him. I need my karma
He is also a zionist but hey I’ll get banned for saying that
Buck?
He’s a Blazers fan purely for Deni
Always knew he was a cornball. Turns out being a cornball is least of it.
you just hate the jews because you live in ny. We are not the same.
Do not conflate Zionism w Judaism!
Fr there are a ton of Jewish anti-zionists (and they’re based as fuck)
NBA advanced stats use 1280 x 720 (720p), which is actually a worse resolution than what I posted - 1920x1080 (1080p)
Mine also includes replays, but whatever fits the people.
This is why it takes longer to process my videos on Streamable, btw.
If I were to post just 720p, then I would post so fast, but the price will be quality.
Edit: You can downvote as much as you’d like, but you can test what I said against reality.
I make compilation videos from time to time, and I sometimes use NBA Advanced Stats videos, so I’m well aware of their quality (or lack of).
A higher resolution video doesn’t necessarily mean it’s higher quality if the content itself is recorded blurry. If you record in 480p and export as 4K, that doesn’t magically make the video sharper.
Anyways, I appreciate you posting replays tho
A higher resolution won’t mean higher quality, but I record at 60 FPS, with a high video bitrate.
If you record 480p and export it to 1080p, of course, it will look blurry, as you stretch each frame in the video, and since there is a certain limited amount of pixels in the original 480p, they will be more scattered, and therefore it will appear more blurry.
If you go from 1080p recording to 480p (lower resolution screen), the recording will look sharper, as the number of pixels is condensed rather than stretched.
The quality of my videos depends on the live stream of League Pass.
You’re welcome.
You two are doing a great job. Keep it up
They wrote Harden off he didn’t write back
Bars
I read this in lil wayne
when he passed that open 3 corner late in the 4th, i thought it was over and he was gonna shy away again.
thank god
I was all but ready for the collapse, I’m at work and took my break so I could watch the end of the game. I saw like a 15 point lead at half and thought the game would be over by time I took my break only for me to join in the 3rd and see cavs down 2. Nonetheless harden delivered tonight.
That last iso might’ve been the coolest play I’ve ever seen in person
was it electric in there?
Yeah absolutely, I still can’t really hear. I heard people were saying the crowd was sounding weak on the broadcast which is super disappointing, because the arena was banging
I don’t know about nba coverage, but in baseball during the playoffs they’ll turn up crowd noise during certain games.
Was there. It was insanely loud
Congrats
He was also fouled on his 3 pointer.
I’m shocked they didn’t call it, Tobias mauled him on that shot
I’m not. Officiating in these playoffs has been awful.
They called one earlier on Cade that tbh didn’t seem like a foul. I consider this a makeup call lol
looked like he touched the elbow on replay
My washed goat, fighting. 🙏
you should never put your goats in the washer
Hey everybody! This guy doesn’t wash his goats!
Why would you wash your goat? He will just get dirty again tomorrow.
That last bucket made me scream in the middle of the gym. When Harden is locked in its such a beauty to witnesd
Having encountered him multiple times in the playoffs, I’ll say he’s always been a huge headache. His only real issue now is the march of time which limits how often he can run iso plays bc he’s got to make sure he doesn’t gas out before the end of the game
Edit: huh, we’ve actually only faced him twice. I don’t know why but it feels like it was three or four times
Probably thinking about reg season hoops, like I remember earlier this year while he was on clippers where he bricked the entire game until the 4th and he went on a run to seal the game for the clippers against the raptors.
does sga not get a call at the end there? esp if game 7 on the line shot
I’ve seen a lot of 4-point foul calls on Harden. There were probably dozens that were less of a foul than this one. Pretty crazy no-call.
he got slightly hit on the elbow and got the 4 pt play in this game too
So he got fouled? lol
Yeah it was a foul, but just saying it was softer than the one here but this wasnt called
Harden fans’ christmas
IT SURE IS
Greatest offensive player of all time
If you factor in iso-heavy scorers that were equally good as distributors, he might be one-of-one.
Luka, and Luka also shows up in the playoffs
Harden is a better playmaker.
bruh 😭
Arguably the Greatest regular season offensive player of all time
FTFY
In a world where MJ exists….bruh
Probably dude was just born yesterday.
fax
Hn
great game
JB messed up by taking Ausur Thompson out of the game. Smh
He was kinda a liability on offense after that airball 3
I’ve known the struggle all season long but I know he wouldn’t have given up as much points. A lot of our points come from his defensive energy. Anyway, good play by Harden.
Watch this, dear Stephen A. Smith
Harden in old Bron jerseys in the big 26… What a time to be alive
I miss my fat bearded point daddy
This and Cade delivering 3 straight turnovers. Cade needs someone he can lean on.
Shouldn’t the third shot be a foul on Harris?
That floater was so beautiful. At first I thought that shit was gone get sent back but when he is on it’s a thing go beauty to see
Harden desperately wants the FUCK JAMES HARDEN chant at MSG
“What chatter” 🥶
Its not game 7.
Duncan got worked. Looks like they are gonna have to take him off the floor in situations like that next game. Or hide him better.
That floater was crazy. Barely got it over the defender. Look at the arc on that thing.
he pretty much won the game for the Cavs, with Strus grabbing the inbounds pass and scoring a close 2nd.
Should’ve gotten an And-1 on that last bucket
Harden still ISO ball at the playoff in the year of our lord 2026, bring a year to my eye
This dude is filthy
Going to have to do that every night if he wants to advance
Told me to shut up
oh the foul baiting didnt go anywhere
Damn look at that iconic home floor design
He’s consistently inconsistent in the playoffs
He heard yall taking shit
Bro looked so comfortable on the floor at the end. Didn’t think he was gonna get up.
backed these guys game 1 and 2 and they let me down,, now they deliver
I know he made them, and congrats to him for it. But he had 12 points at that moment, and you have Donovan Mitchell in his prime on your team and he’s on a heater tonight. Why is he taking the backseat to Harden?
Mitchell has actually done really poorly in the clutch for the Cavs for the most part, this postseason.
What isn’t shown here are his 7 fourth quarter shots that he made 2 of.
Last game he was 2⁄8 in the 4th.
They have tried for multiple games across multiple series’ to let him close the game and more often than not it has totally backfired on them.
For one afternoon in Cleveland, James *wasn’t* the problem.
Why can’t he just do that the other 2 games?
That last shot should be an offensive foul. I hate that shit. The defender has to leave room for the shooter to land, but the shooter can undercut the defenders landing space?
You can’t wipe the stink of those elimination games where he barely shot the ball, but I do look at James a bit differently after this one.
He probably does too tbh
It only took him 16 years in the league lol
Yeah this is Harden’s only clutch moment in the playoffs ever
Cool. He helped win 1 game. That’ll be his legacy.
He will be a player like AI, Reggie, Barkley, etc MVP caliber in their prime, made it to the finals but couldn’t get a chip. That Duncan crossover was absolute filth
Naw. He wasn’t even that good.
Harden way better than AI
