    They don't go away if you keep trying to play on it, which is why I think they'll hold him out longer than how long it would normally take for him to get back on the court.

    They should just hold him out for the same amount of games as CP missed, so that everything will be even between us.

    Warriors are weird this year. I dont think durant got the satisfaction he was looking for by winning a chip with the warriors. He is looking for self actualization or some ish judging by his recent interviews.

    Our chris paul clock is ticking and will expire before their curry/durant clock IMO. Really hope this can end up being our year.

    Warriors are losing their cool and getting frustrated every night it seems. They will still be favored as long as everyones healthy for the playoffs.

    Is someone going to get thrown out every Golden State game this year? Durant twice, Livingston, Curry, Draymond, Kerr...am I missing anyone? Isn't that abnormal? Seems to me, Golden State isn't taking being challenged very well.

    Agree. Negative or not - that injury looked gross. Body shouldn't bend like that. He's probably going to be more prone to this going forward.

    Why does Durant insist on playing the fake tough guy?

    He's so desperately trying to look tough. I genuinely believe he suffers from mental health issues.

    Am I the only one thinking Durant is trying to stay relevant in the media?

    Or is it just a huge coincidence these embarrassing ejections on his behalf have come right on the heels of the LeBron ejection hoopla.

    Just cringeworthy Durant at the end when Cousins starts coming for him.

    Durant does not know what character to be. Much like his fake twitter accounts.

    He says he is at peace, but his actions suggest otherwise. He is perpetually conflicted.

    He doesn't want to be the bad guy....but he is...and he can't accept it.

    The 2-3 seeds are going to get beat up in the playoffs this year before they even get to the WCF. 1 seed is skatingggggg.

    Come on Rockets! Keep the streak alive!

    He' s been behaving like that for the past 2 or 3 years. I'm pretty sure I remember him acting like that fake tough crap during his last season at OKC.

    I found it funny that his dumbazz said after the game that "Oh it's the NBA, no one is really trying to fight, they can't fight blah blah blah". Thats true for the majority but if he thinks Boogie or the Morris twins or Udonis wouldn't put him to sleep then he's insane.

    Yeah, or me. I'd knock him out and call him Quire Sultan.

    But as a NBA player, can you really respect Durant the person? I'm not talking about joining a 73 win team but everything after that. Quire Sultan, multi million payment to have that ad spot right after they won, the shoe.

    As a human, hard to respect him but the more I see his interactions the more I realize he has a legitimate mental health problem. I'm serious, too.
