http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/88049/picking-the-most-clutch-in-nba-playoffs Ranks team leaders in terms of TS% and USG% in crunch time, as well as their PER in crunch time. Not surprised to know who tops the graph.
Nice to have some statistical backing for the insane clutch experience that's been Harden this year. 35 PER, wow. Obligatory:

He's been 3rd best player in the league in my opinion...he's just gotten so much better since last year. he's gonna continue to improve
This thread should be a lesson for some people. This board has more to say about player's hair than anything positive about the Rocket's best player.
Poor bulls, their best player was on the street before they picked him up a month into the season. And Harden, just damn, what a treat we rockets fan have. Not over looking Portland but I cannot wait to see how the Spurs try to answer for Harden and Howard in round 2.
Johnson has hit a few game winners this season and has been notorious for hitting game winning shots last season and in atlanta - so it is a bit surprising to see him that low
Nope. The reason Harden is so efficient is because he gets to the line. He led the league in clutch free throws made. Supposedly the refs swallow the whistle at the end of the game, but in reality they don't for Harden.
