If someone here thinks Harden wasn't exceptional for most of the season is stupid. If someone here thinks Harden has been average at most the last couple of months is stupid.
Harden was 4 / 12 in Game 4. That includes the 3 x 3s he jacked up playing hero ball at the end. That mean he only had 9 shot until the end of the 4th. That's very restrained, almost Lin-like shot attempts. Maybe McHale had a word and Harden is conscious of the fact he can't just keep bricking shots if he's not shooting well.
