In the playoffs: No bad teams, no back-to-backs, teams are motivated, have a gameplan for you with 82 games of film to prepare, every game is high pressure, nobody cares about individual statistical accolades etc.
Playoff performance is what matters when judging superstars

So if you’re putting Harden (or anybody else for that matter) above proven playoff performers/winners because of what’s happening in the regular season, just know you’re dead wrong. Regular season performances don’t matter for a guy who’s already got a scoring title and an MVP.
Literally nothing that James Harden can do in the regular season to have him above Wade, Kobe or whatever other players y’all wanna put him above. Not exaggerating when I say he could average 50 and that wouldn’t change a thing. All that matters is what happens after April.
Former UCLA basketball player, NBA agent and current Warriors President of basketball operations, Bob Myers, explaining beautifully why you judge players in the playoffs. Not the regular season. When players constantly underperform in the postseason it’s NOT a coincidence.
Future HOFer, Paul Pierce, describing the level of attention to detail put into a regular season vs. playoff scouting report. Again, judge players based on playoff performances. Regular season performances are cool, but that’s not how you judge players.
Bob Myers, again, explaining why Golden State was able to capitalize on the Rockets gameplan in the playoffs because relying on stepback 3s isn’t really a viable game-plan to stop scoring runs when it actually matters.
