There were moments in the HOU series Gobert had trouble containing Harden in the PnR, and that's probably where that narrative Gobert got abused came from. But I mean... its James Harden. Hard to fault Gobert there. AND he was actually okay, which lends more credence to Gobert's fantastic defense as a big for even being able to be passable against Harden.
I think Gobert is probably the best rim protector the NBA has seen in the last 22 years. Would love him on the Mavs though a Gobert/KP pairing seems a little wonky on paper.
