GW vs. Spurs last year GW 3 vs. Phoenix last year (jermaine oneal lol) GW vs. Pelicans when we were down the whole game (Rivers gets ankles shot) GW layup vs. wizards Game tying 3 vs. Portland Game tying 3 vs. Denver Not to mention the clutch shots to get us back in the game 3 pointer vs. Spurs this year to tie it That cold blooded step back on Ibaka.. And my personal favorite even though it's not a rocket moment That cold blooded 3 pointer to put the thunder up 5 vs. San Antonio...that was the coldest shot I ever seen.

I will agree that harden is me clutch and is a beast offensively. To call him the greatest rocket of all time... No just no. I would argue that our team performs better with him as a sixth man to be honest. His intrepid D is just brutal to watch and it's hard to watch a guy give 0% on that end. So while yes he's obviously good, I'm skeptical of our chances to ever win a championship with James harden at the helm
I remember last year, James was more concerned about getting the foul call than making the shot and that really hurt us in multiple games last season and in the playoffs. We could have won games 3 and 6 if he wasn't looking for the call rather than trying to make the shot. This season, you see the obvious change in his demeanor. He wants to take the shot and wants to make it every time. Last year, he had take the shot almost because it was expected of him and he wanted to prove himself. It's a confidence thing and James looks to have the ultimate confidence in his shot at the end of games. If he can keep that and even improve in his general late game decision making (late game turnovers and isoball), we will have ourselves the most dangerous player in the clutch in the NBA.
Through all the defensive lapses and lazy passes.... great having this dude. Like Steven A Smith would say, "he's box-office".
Also, last year clutch performances against Minny(17th Q points, after christmas day vs Bulls), at Cavs(16 4th Q points),at Nets and also 2 or 3 consecutive threes at Phoenix in the end but we lost.
