Maybe he was injured in game 6, maybe he's just had an off-night, but his stat line tonight is jaw dropping in every bad way:

2-11 from the field 10 points 7 assists 6 turnovers and three rebounds.

The knock on Harden is that he disappears in big games. That was certainly true when OKC lost to Miami in the finals. Some make that assertion based on his track record at ASU, so I took a look at the numbers in the last three games he played for ASU:

Pac-10 championship game versus USC

10 points 3-9 shooting, 8 assists, four rebounds, three turnovers

NCAA Tournament games versus Temple

9 points 1-8 shooting, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 turnovers

NCAA Tournament games versus Syracuse

10 points 2-10 shooting, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 turnovers.

So if we are being honest here the knock on Harden not showing up in big games is a valid one.

And if you're a Suns fans and wanted to finally See Mike D'Antoni finally get over Gregg Popovich, then you're bummed about this game for your own reasons.
