James Harden’s CLUTCH 42-Point Performance In 76ers Game 4 W!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2024
- James Harden joins Allen Iverson (3x) as the only players in 76ers franchise history to score 40+ points in multiple games of a Playoff series.
Before James Harden, Kevin Durant in the 2012 semifinals for OKC vs Lakers was the last player to have two different go ahead game-winning shots with under 20 seconds remaining in a single playoff series:
Durant made game-winning field goals in Game 2 (18.6 secs left) and Game 4 (13.7 secs left)
Led by James Harden’s 42 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, including the go-ahead three with 19.0 seconds remaining in overtime, the No. 3 seed Philadelphia 76ers defeated the No. 2 seed Boston Celtics in Game 4, 116-115. Joel Embiid added 34 points and 13 rebounds for the 76ers in the victory, while Jayson Tatum tallied 24 points, 6 assists, 4 blocks and a career-high 18 rebounds for the Celtics. This best-of-seven series is now tied, 2-2, with Game 5 taking place on Tuesday, May 9 (7:30 p.m. ET, TNT).
With his 47th career 30+ point Playoff game tonight, James Harden has passed Dirk Nowitzki for the 12th most such games in NBA history.

I’m really happy for James Harden. So many people have been tearing him up and I hope he continues to do well.
He beating “he’s washed” accusations. You love to see it
joy to watch
Next Game 50+10+10
@@mjlwm23 it‘s crazy man, and it's time for embiid to lead the game 5 to prove himself
Them haters need to leave unc alone and let him cook 💯
Harden really has 2 40+ points games with 2 game winners in this series. Please give this generational talent his flowers.
And 2 games where he went 5-30. Let that sink in. So Bipolar.
@@IndianaSmallmouth people always negative nigga just give da man his flowers
@@IndianaSmallmouth Would've been a sweep without him.
💐💐💐💐
@@IndianaSmallmouthI mean there’s a reason for that, their game plan revolves around Embid, who works in the post, harden is at his best when the defenders don’t know if he’ll drive or shoot, and you can’t do that when you have the big guy down low feeding the post. This just proves harden isn’t Bipolar as he’s simply sacrificing his game to let embid play at his best. Harden could do this every night if that’s what they wanted but then we’d get people saying he’s boring to watch cause he dribbles 45 times a possession. Honestly him taking the passive approach has left him with more gas in the tank for these big games, gas that’s usually well gone and he would be running on fumes in Houston.
Gained alot of respect for harden. Took a pay cut, got in the best shape of his career since his prime rehabbing an injury, playing winning team first basketball and showing up bigtime in the playoffs to practically save the sixers season. He was committed on defense this game and the gesture he made after the game earned a lot of respect. What a class act!
you dont go 65 and 17 and take the gsw to game 7 in cf without playing winning bball. thats such a bs narrative
Best shape of his career?
Bruh he cant dunk no more
@@lukacalov1988 pretty sure he can dunk he just doesn’t do it cuz he doesn’t want to get injured
@@nickz5986 its called pace no need get a easy 2

Harden turned back the clocks with a 4th quarter takeover and game winning shot.🔥
@PhillyEagles757 Crazy story you have there... Just unlucky that it is entirely ficticious and delusional
@Philadelphia Eagles facts people just want to hate. I use to be a Lebron hater because of his fan base who always want to compare him to Jordan without mentioning Kobe. But as I grew older I start to just appreciate his game even more especially after losing Kobe. It’s going to be a sad day seeing LeBron retire. Idc who hates or like him you have to respect his greatness.
Too dominant with those handles and footwork.
@PhillyEagles757who asked?
Harden isn’t old or really out of his prime. Just in a different role than Houston. I bet he could average 30 and 10 next year with him as the first option.
Bro what a game this was unbelievable James Harden does it again 42 PTS Clutch shots MVP HARDEN 🔥
Harden for the 2nd time in this series came up big when PHI needed it the most. 42pts 8RBS 9Assists 🔥. He's going to have to do this more consistently for this team to win this series.
Totally agree harden is going to have to show up
ur forgetting the 4 steals n 1 block, 2 of those steals came in late clutch moments. Give the man props but he needs to keep this mindset every game.
He’s the only reason this wasn’t a sweep
That actually worries me 😂 they need other teammates to step up, otherwise they won’t go far.
He literally saved Philly from getting swept
And Stephen A Smith said Harden would never have another 40 point game again
He said harden wouldn't even get 30
Stephen a is a clown
hes always been a harden hater cuz hes a warriors rider.
Guys like SAS are human versions of used condoms -
F’in dummy
Let’s Go Harden!!! as a HUGE Rockets fan, I am so happy to see him play like this
Same
You must be a huge fan of watching freethrows after flops then.
@@ricklocket2812 flops?
@@ricklocket2812 blud thought he was funny
I was already about to count the 76ers out in this series, but then came the BEARD with the save. Still got hope 🙏
Y’all really go with what the media says and believe this dude just never shows up in the playoffs LMAOOOO
It’s laughable atp
2 amazing Harden games. 2 wins. They need him to be this good
He's REWRITING his playoff history and commentary. He's won you two games this series. So doc Rivers and the role players need to win you one and embiid needs to win one. Embiid helped alot but when it mattered at the end of the 4th, what al horford did to him was UNACCEPTABLE
Imagine Harden and AD on the same team. One day you’re getting 10 points from both, the next game they’ll combine for 90😅😅😅😅
fax, those two can be mvps one game n bench warmers next game.
Most underrated and overhated player of our generation. Every one seems to enjoy when he plays bad and here he is carrying the 76ers with all the hate he received
You are absolutely correct and your opinion was well-stated.
delusional fanboys circlejerk. Niiiiiice!
Harden is basically one of the greatest scores of all time and there is still so much hate on him... I am sick and tired of this
His game 2 and 3 performance was obviously the reason why he is polarizing
@@onezero-10 he's the only reason why they are still alive
Harden is basically one of the greatest floppers of all time and there is still so much love on him. I am sick and tired of this 🍛 ⚙ ♨ 📥 🦃
@@RafaMata. you never know what you get from Harden in the playoff, based on history it usually was a stinker, he is getting old so time is running out to prove himself
@@RafaMata. wait you mean the reason why the celts alive or sixers? Lol
Anyway, Embiid carried game 5 hard for them not Harden
That’s why James harden is my favorite player he been my favorite player ever since he was with the Houston rockets
Facts. Everybody either switched up, turned back and came back. Stayed down the entire time. He will get a ring eventually. Watch
@@StayTru101
He will never get a ring. Watch.
@@ricklocket2812 today’s Opposite Day. Thanks
Yo chill harden! 42 point almost triple double, clutch bucket after bucket. After that masterpiece in game 1. And a class act inviting that shooting victim. I don't wanna hear anyone (including myself) badmouth this man ever again!
As a warriors fan I appreciate this guy's effort on his team especially during his rockets era, I'll bet that sixers is going to win this nba's championship
Please put your money where your mouth is and bet your money on the 76ers.
Best clutch playoff performance from harden. What a beast!
Love him or hate him you gotta respect him..
LEGENDARY performance from Harden.....His best yet
This NOT his best game or playoff game. The man has had a HOF career, and saying shit like that discredit all his accomplishments. The same man that lead the Rockets to the West with absolute scrubs on the team.
@@bigfacts1592 then which is his best ever performance other than game 1 and this game?
@@lekzintshering7666 lol you clearly dont know harden then so let me show you
1) his 61/15/4/4 game against new york nicks
2) his 61 /9assist performance agianst spurs on 31 attempts
3) his 60 point game against hawks in just 31 minutes
4)his 60 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists game against orlando magics
5)his 59/16/17 game
and 3 out of these performance were in a single season and he also has 5 50+ point triple double and in 2018 this dude averaged 52 ppg for a month and had 9 50+ points so clearly this was not his best game and talking about playoff he has 5 game of 44 points in his playoff career and around 11 40 + point games in playoffs this could have been his best game if he wasn't focused on giving embiid 30 points
@@lekzintshering7666 Warriors game
better to say this is the james harden of old... he is so versatile
Harden is a real deal. He should have gotten the ring the first year at Nets with KD, the injuries just killed that team.
they would've probably won a ring in 2021 if Kevin Durant had smaller shoes.
Couldnt be happier 45 pts game winner and 42 pts game winner 👏 8 reb 9 ast 4 stl
2-2 right now hes him put some respect on hes name
The offense needs to run through Harden. Embiid is clearly not comfortable with double teams. Doc needs to realize this & make adjustments. PJ Tucker showed his leadership down the stretch & literally saved the series for them with his hustle 💯
If you arent comfortable with double teams, you aren't MVP. Luka, Curry and Jokic get doubled all the time and they deal with it.
@@readmycomment3707 harden too,
@@readmycomment3707 Been plenty comfortable all season. His knee is beat up as usual. You miss the real point. Embiid is amazing until he breaks down inevitably.
Embiids numbers might look big but 12 of that points came from fts. Disgusting free-throw merchant
@@nndayo6408 Embiid is dominating Horford and the Celtics and has done so all season. You people are casuals who know nothing about basketball. He’s scored 47 and 52 this year against Boston while getting double teamed the whole time. And the Celtics players have said multiple times that they are guarding him as a comittee. All five guys are guarding just to throw the kitchen sink at him. No other player in this league gets that treatment. Only the MVP. The man was gassed by the fourth quarter cuz he was at 40 mins already like halfway thru the quarter playing on a knee that needs surgery. And Doc admitted he ran Embiid too much yesterday in the postgame. Embiid’s haters love to just hate without actually watching the game. Yaw just talk huh. Yaw just like to throw negativity out there and see if it sticks huh???
Whoever said that harden is not made for playoff they haven't see him play he almost defeated greatest team in nba history gsw with kd give him his respect
Mr Almost
Love Harden!!! Always have!! That’s a real franchise player that can and has taken a team on his back to and through the playoffs. And without another super player!!!!
James harden needs to perform at this level for Philly to even just have a SHOT at winning each game.
@mr.melendez3872facts
James harden turned into prime harden this series
James harden been prime harden though. If you watch his games he focuses on playmaking and getting everyone involved. Led the NBA in assistant for most of the season. Main reason embiid wins MVP. This dude been hated on over and over but damn put some respect on his name!
Harden still in his prime. If he continues this than Philly making the NBA finals
Looking like the Harden I knew in Houston
Now, I wanna see KD vs Harden FINAL.
James Harden is really trying to show that if he can be put first on his team, then he can truly play the way we want him to
This guy still a beast 🔥
Harden is a cook when he on that aint nobody guarding him 🔥
Huge game by the REAL MVP, the Beard!
That duo chemistry grew stronger after this game trust me 💪💯
Lets go.. Bro was going in.. Winning every matchup they through at him, willing the team back down the stretch.. that's what we need
Playing out of his mind in this series ! Incredible player not to be forgotten!
Thanks harden for such a special birthday gift
Nice to see him bringing out the midrange game
Harden won them both games. The team has to come together and help him get the remaining two
Harden Reborn 🎉❤
"I felt threatened by being the second most unpredictable player left in the Playoffs behind AD, so I had no choice." - Harden
Legend never dies ❤
What’s crazy about this, was that Harden led the entire league in assists this season. For the second time in his career. People think Harden’s only value is scoring, so when he doesn’t score a lot, they push blame on him. But they don’t realize his Playmaking and rebounding are big parts of his game, and a 35 y/o Harden shouldn’t be expected to be the 76ers top scorer in a playoff series.
Double clutch. "Fear the bear" is 4real
Harden saved doc rivers from wetting the bed with a masterpiece performance I haven’t seen him get 2 40 point games in a long time
Everyone saying he was washed so he had to prove the world that he’s still that guy
Harden came through where it counts most.
Harden too clutch
James harden the new Allen Iverson 42 🏀🏀🏀the answer 2023
James harden came through in a huge way against the Celtics tonight and hit the game winning shot overall as well.🏀
Man mighty quiet in here all you game 2 "he's washes up" guys lmfao.
They go hiding every time he balls out. Fucking losers
Sixers win if Harden scores 40 + points and losses if less than 20 so the focal point of offense of the Sixers must come from Harden if they want to advance in the Conference Finals and NBA finals
Game 1 and game 4 Masterpieces
Game 2 and 3 meltdown
People always criticize harden, but it depends on ur role in very game,
Monster game for Harden 💪
Allen Iverson 2001 MVP the crossover
Jemes playoff time harden been amazing ..
Vintage Harden 🔥
He got his security and his quit back like when he was with Huston. And this is good for him for us and for the League.
Sixers will take it all this year
Feast or famine. James really delivered tonight. As a Sixers fan, I don't need James from Game 1 and 4 every night. We just can't have Game 2 or 3 James. Bigtime win. They need to steal game 5 and win in 6. 7 games might be too big a mountain to climb. That said, the Sixers have been overcoming the odds all season. Definitely the most locked in Embiid-era Sixers squad I've seen.
He gotta do the cook sig if they win in Boston
I’ve been following James forever and he’s never ever been this consistent in the playoffs I thought he was going to be a career playoff underperformer his whole damn career I hope I’m wrong
James harden still a top ten player in the NBA. If harden keeps this up, 76ers can make the NBA finals
Harden is smooth as butter. No a lot of "superstar" players can´t be this smooth
He deserves the ring
2 40+ point game winning performances saving their season twice, they gon have to respect the dude at some point
Without harden this series is over 4-0 already
Sixers in 6 no cap
BEAST
Harden is really a fabulous player
oh maen, J- Hard's playoff Houston throwback performance like these gonna bring the Sixers to the ECF maybe this season.......
Amazing performance harden!
James Harden big pointer...🏀
IT'S SUPERSTAR
People forget the only reason Harden hasn't won a ring in the West was because he kept running into the Warriors dynasty and unlucky circumstances (CP3's injury). He's THAT guy.
Put some respect on Harden's name! I been telling y’all Embiid is a bigger playoff dropper then Harden but for some reason Harden is the poster boy
Never thought I’d see the day
He’s back
I can go to sleep easy knowing James Harden isn't making Philly look bad.
Right he in la they looking good
James man! Bruh?!! It's like either you dominate or score 5 points!! This game gave me fits but our guys hung in there!!
Big Game James!
Stir it up 👨🏿🍳❤️🔔💙
The spirit of 76ers A.I. lives on through this team
Harden was his own worst eneny in the playoffs before. Him lifting the sixers over the Celtics would be epic
Harden came clutch this game indeed
Your the Man James
Harden needed to respond after game 2 & 3... and respond he did
James Harden was Him today
May he have more 40 plus games, and game winners. Ball out James (pause).
I’m so proud of dude fr
Vintage James
James, I love you
I remember going to asu to watch harden play in his college day and yoi can tell he would be a goat!
Carried the team on his back
Embiid literally couldve rested this series after the injury cause James is literally the best player on the team.
those eyes say it all..gg beard
I just feel like harden iq and experience playing 8 years for houston and the years with okc showing rn just the more experience established player in this series its like how steph did them in the finals and how bulter and greek took them to 7 last year they just young team young coach two superstars great role players but play with no discipline at the end of games they play like they can just turn it own and off which they can but its the playoffs for a reason they have to do better or it gone blow up qnd there face
HOUSTON JAMES HARDEN made it count when it they needed the most
