You happen to watch the end of game 6 when Harden made a big shot, and some how decipher that he was the reason OKC won the series. A shot were he just fired it up because the click was about to expire by the way.You are so far off base it's not even funny. Also, if it took you that long to figure out he's a fantastic offensive player you weren't paying much attention at all. You are also aren't paying attention to his WAY below average defense. You are just silly sometimes. It has to be trolling.

I watch games all the time. That's how I guessed when James Harden got traded that he would flourish in Houston as one of the best players in the NBA despite doubters saying he wouldn't even be a #1. Or did you forget about that one?
And you're kidding yourself if you don't think Harden was a massive reason for OKC going through to the Finals. His ability to make the big play (and big shot) and to especially take some of the pressure off Durant was huge for them. It completely changed the way the Spurs had to defend. The fact that he didn't do any of those same things against the Heat was also a huge reason why they lost there.
