ASSOCIATED PRESSThe Golden State Warriors trailed the Portland Trail Blazers by double digits, and all Kevin Durant could do was watch from his couch at home. Without Durant, the Warriors have reprised its 2015-16 season form. During the conference finals, Portland guard Seth Curry remarked that the Warriors were harder to guard without Durant on the floor. Durant pushed back then on social media and again when he spoke with media for the first time since his injury. “As a player I just think about that and say ‘oh, that’s not true.’ That’s just not facts when it comes from a basketball perspective,” Durant said.
