That would be a dream. I firmly believe he will take that significant step forward and entrench himself among the elite in the next season or two. Its not exactly as if Harden has struggled through the entire playoffs (he certainly didnt against the Spurs). Shooting against an elite defense is no easy task, and when you are the third option on your team it could snowball on him fast (like it has this series). A slump is a slump though and wont define a career
