Russ played on one leg and was the worst player on the court in the lakers series. Harden outplayed AD and Bron.

Embiid had a torn knee ligament and his ppg dropped by 10 ppg and his fg% dipped even more than that.

Every star player who has won a ring recently either had great teammate health (jokic, Bron and AS) or crazy injury luck go their way( Giannis and kawhi) Harden has never gotten any of those breaks. Would be nice for it to be his turn to get the injury breaks for once.

Harden deserves a playoff run with a healthy supporting cast. When is the last time He had a playoff run with decent team health? Was it 2016 season?
