The bizarro game 7 ending of the Rockets-Thunder bubble series needs a deep rewind 

The bubble gets memes a lot but it had some really wild moments. Nuggets 3-1 comeback (twice). OG game winner. PG13% hitting the side of the backboard in a game 7 etc...

Dort went from being undrafted to just signing a $87.5M 5-year contract. Love to see it

this was almost the lu dort game. we were so close to greatness!

The bubble was the greatest playoffs I have ever seen. The duels were iconic, the matchups were competitive, and every team made their mark on the playoffs.

THIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS FROM THE PLAYOFFS IN GENERAL LETS GO IT REALLY DID DESERVE A REWIND. Lu Dort is still the goat tho

Finally a NBA bubble Rewinder! I'd like to bet that there are more Rewinder moments just from these playoff alone.

As a Thunder fan this was one of my favorite seasons. Crazy what zero expectations does to a team.

From a technical standpoint, Bubble basketball is the purest basketball form, that was beautiful to watch

The fact they haven’t done a Mcgregor vs Aldo deep rewind is a serious missed opportunity.

You're 45 seconds in and I realize how many teams Chris Paul has been on now, as well as how much better he made each team immediately.

As a Thunder fan this is extremely bittersweet. But a lot went into this moment so it's worth a rewind.

This was awesome. Thank you. It was a thrilling end to a weird yet glorious season. - An OKC fan

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 RU-vid.

Speaking of bubble game 7's, I think a Rewind on the final seconds of Nuggets-Jazz game 7 in 2020 would be fascinating. Utah's Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert were both drafted by Denver, but were quickly traded away only to become the two best players in the Nuggets' playoff rival. To replace them, Denver developed Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, who ended up being perfect rivals to their counterparts. Murray and Mitchell traded 50-point performances in the series, while DPOY Gobert challenged future MVP Jokic's often-unstoppable offense. Other key players were Torrey Craig and Gary Harris, the Nugget's defense-first duo, the latter of which was essential in winning game 6 after returning from injury, as well as Mike Conley, Utah's best three-point shooter. The Jazz went up 3 games to 1 in the series, which up until that point had only been overcome 11 times in NBA history. But the Nuggets clawed back, forcing a low-scoring game 7 that the Nuggets took early control of before letting the Jazz pull even. With 17.4 seconds left on the clock, the score was 78-80 in favor of Denver, with Utah preparing to inbound the ball. Harris played fantastic defense and Murray stole the ball for a fast break the other way in what should have been a free game-winning layup, but Craig missed it. Gobert grabbed the rebound, possibly stepped out of bounds (although the ref didn't see it and neither did anyone else at the time), floated it up to Conley, who fired an attempt at a game-winning 3, and the ball rimmed in and out. My personal favorite NBA playoff moment of all time. Just unbridled chaos.

This series marked the last time we saw both the Thunder and Rockets as competitive teams. They both on their way up though. Both got young franchise star players to help lead them! Thunder with SGA and the Rockets with Jalen Green

Clara, as for your self esteem--- I love it when I see or hear you in a video. You bring something different, a kind of calm passion, to them. To me at least, you come across as both an ordinary fan and an expert in anything sports you talk about.

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

Great video, Clara, I feel like Paul's year with OKC isn't talked about enough. It wasn't clear he'd even show up in OKC after that trade, let alone have a resurgence and lead that young squad to the playoffs. I remember when he bought custom-made suits for the entire team and they all showed up to a game in style (even Steven Adams). What a great leader. Does anyone know the name of the song playing starting at 7:34???

I remember someone suggesting a hypothetical situation where this would be someone's first time watching an NBA game and thinking Lou Dort was the best player in the league 😂 Great video, completely forgot about this classic game. Can't wait for more!

If we're doing Bubble Playoff breakdowns, Luka's Double Bang Buzzer Beater needs to be looked at

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.

Clara's rewinder videos are always some of my favorites in the series, very well written and narrated

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

one of my favorite series to watch during the bubble, thanks for the great upload!

You are the best video maker / narrator of Secret base! Really love your analysis, please keep it up.

That was such a unique OKC team. By the end, they clearly only had 5 guys worth playing late (Paul-Schroder-SGA-Gallo-Adams) and everyone but SGA was gone by next season, but in season they were very underrated.

The NBA bubble was one of the coolest moments in NBA history

I was getting into basketball (as requested by a friend) by the time the bubble playoffs started, we caught this match live and it was the one that got me into american sports alltogether, now after researching a lot about the game, the players and the narratives, i can appreaciate how this instant felt as i watched it live, and makes me want to go back in time and check other iconic moments that needed a deep rewind

Thank you for making this! Truly a GOATed moment, all the pieces that had to happen to have this amazing story.

As a rockets fan, this is one of my favorite moments. Even tho we lost in 5 to the lakers in the next round, it felt like we came close to that elusive title

This video was so well put-together. Good job.

As always, I'll say I'm a fan of Clara's narration and videos! I hope this helps your self esteem!

Fantastic, Clara, I love your explanations whether they be for bizarro world bubble sports or beef!

12:56 i remember when the commentators keep praising CP3 during that time in how he strives in clutch moments like that. Then freaking blunders the possession leading to a Harden block on Dort. One of the best moments in the NBA

"Did he shock him with a cattle prod?" Best line of the video. 😂

A Bubble rewind history. Today is truly a great day

Painting Houston as the villain as always lol

12:55 "Oh, god, gross" I lol'd. Great video. I used to get sad every time one of these started and I didn't hear Seth's voice, but I've really come around to enjoy Clara's work as well. :D

When CP3 bought the team suits, and Adams walked in wearing his… that was a turning point in OKC.

The bubble gets made fun of and people say the Lakers won a fake ring. Every team had the same playing field, no excuses, no travel. Your squad vs my squad in a gym. It was raw basketball

Great work as always, Clara!

I remember this so well. This series was the perfect encapsulation of what a weird and unique event the bubble was. AWESOME series.

This was one of the best 🙌🏻 awesome video

As someone who just recently became a sports fan, these rewinder videos are amazing because I legitimately don’t know what’s going to happen

So well put together, Clara.

Great rewind! I almost forgot about this. I honestly thought this was the year rockets had the their best chance at a title run. Their biggest road block the warriors were out of contention for the first time in 6 years. The best team in the west were the Lakers who had a “slow” line up which they can easily punish with their small ball.

i’m glad you did a recent series

Absolutely love when Clara narrates

2nd video in a row by Clara, not sure where ya been but happy to have ya back.

Recently started watching your content, you guys NEED to do the last lap of the F1 2021 season. It is perfect for these types of videos

Not the game I would expect from this one but this is VERYYYY fascinating

Can't believe it was just two years ago, and Harden definitely regressed pretty significantly after that playoffs run. I am not saying he is washed though, just saying it's just been three seasons since the bubble playoffs where Harden was still utterly amazing.

I loved this series, this goes down as Harden’s most clutch playoff finish

Clara nailing it on another video. Always makes for a fun listen

Should have mentioned that Dort attended the same school as Harden (ASU) and had already played each other in scrimmages before Dort arrived at the NBA

that hint and zoom in to Rudy when she talked about the COVID-19 thing

Man I love you Clara

That 2018 Rockets team in Game 7 of the WCF shot so badly and even then that is an understatement! Nice rewind episode!

I mean this with absolutely zero shade the the team at secret base as the videos are always but it is nice to see a piece where these rockets aren’t on the wrong side of a moment in history

These playoffs will always be special to me as I had just lost my mom a couple months earlier and I would find my dad dead 5 days after we watched the Lakers win the title but I'll always remember watching these playoff games with him, losing both my parents in just a couple of months in the middle of a pandemic was a gut punch that I'm still trying to recover from but no matter what anybody says about this NBA season these playoffs will always be special to me

The best way to watch these videos is if you don't already know what happened. Adds more tension.

ahh this was so good!!! what a good pick for a story, perfect execution, love it, love it!!!!!!

We need a Crosby golden goal rewinder. The story of the "next one" scoring possibly the biggest goal in Canadian history, during the Olympics hosted in Canada, setting a record for most gold medals (at the time) by one country, it's honestly incredible

Absolutely fell in love with Dort during the bubble!

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.

Damn I remember tearing up a little only because we got such false hope even when we didn’t want it

GRACIAS POR ESTE VIDEO! De mis momentos favoritos de la NBA como fanatico de harden y los rockets

i am so glad someone remembers this beautiful strange game

Glad there's people putting respect on the Bubble instead of saying "MiCkEy MoUsE"

Me and my friends talk about this game a lot and what's craziest to me is that Harden does not have a single offensive super clutch moment in the playoffs that we can think of. And yet, James Harden, one of the worst defenders of the modern era had a series winning block in the playoffs. Unreal

The bubble was a masterclass in organization

Clara is one of the best narrators on YT

Wow. This is actually the first time Secret Base make a video content from the 2020 NBA restart in the Orlando bubble. Fun Factoid: 2020 is the last time we saw both the Thunder and the Rockets in the Playoffs as of the moment of posting this comment.

Love this narrator and her sweet, sarcastically analytical personality ❤️! Always makes smile

Just here for More Clara Morris!

The bubble was honestly elite. Maybe it's just because we were so starved for sports at the time but the games felt so much more intense and competitive than the past few years' playoffs

Heard Clara Morris' voice and instantly knew this one would be a banger.

You guys need to make your intros into shorts a few days before the video releases, the hype would be crazy

Chris Paul's 2020 season puts him at GOAT status, first ballot HOFer, and maybe even top 5 PG in the league for me. I'm trying to imagine any other superstar-level player who would have accomplished what he did that year and not boohoo his way out for a trade.

Always a good day when Secret Base uploads.

I can’t wait for the rewinder on the 2022 World Cup final

See you all in a few years when this year's world cup gets a deep rewind. The amount of storylines going on in this tournament is insane, with a perfect final to match

Don't think this deserved a rewind but great video as always

I consider this one of the closest games of all time. It felt disappointing that a more veteran led team in the rockets were closely matched by a primarily young Thunder team.

You guys gotta do a rewinder of the jags cowboys game, instant classic

Great story telling!

Need more bubble content

Ah, yes. The James Harden ‘School of Defence’. Good times 😂

Legacy on the line and HarGOAT delivered. Hope my man win champ this year 💪

Its nice to see the NBA going back to it's AAU roots with playing in one arena.

Ahh, the NBA Bubble. Truly a time to be alive as a NBA fan

Lol @ 0:15 Harden & Westbrook getting a ring! Good one Clara/SB crew!

“Draft night is not the end of anything, it is the start of everything” well said

Y’all should have recapped the whole series!

PLEASE do a rewind on the recent 2022 World Cup champions Argentina, the world should know how special that moment was!!!

BASKETBASE NEVER STOPS

this is unexpected lol

Dort's defense was really something to see this series. They should've shown some of it.

We need a Jimmy Butler missed 3 in the game 7 of the last ECF rewinder

Liked for Clara’s self esteem. Maybe harden can loan you some of his? Great video!
