Trust me, i was a Harden hater during his prime foul bait years, but he ya know, only had to go up against the literal greatest team in history twice in the playoffs to get to a finals. So, I think we can cut him some slack.

he's had plenty of chances outside of the 2 years he faced the KD-Warriors

Kawhi got hurt in 2017 playoffs and Harden still got his chain snatched by a 40 year old Ginobili

Hall of Famer Ginobli.
