Kevin Durant on NBA playoff blowouts! (INTERVIEW)

Game 3
There has been a lot of talk regarding Kevin Durant, the Golden State Warriors, the Cleveland Cavaliers and their blowout wins all the way in the 2017 NBA playoffs from the first round. The Warriors are 11-0 in these playoffs, while the Cavaliers are 10-0 in their respective conference. The question that has been asked the past week a lot, is whether this is good or bad for the NBA and the league in general. Whether Durant destroyed the NBA season by joining the Warriors last year and more similar questions have been questioned, and one was directly answered by Kevin Durant, in yesterday's win over the Spurs in the post-game conference. 

His reaction was the following: "The fans always want to see a tight game, they always want to see a buzzer beater every game, but it's not like that," Durant said. "You have your years where you have your great playoff series, four or five Game 7s. Then some years you have what you see in these playoffs. As players, you want to go out there and win by as much as possible and play as great as you can. Whatever happens with the score happens. Relay that to the fans who feel upset. If you don't like it, don't watch it. "


In 16 of the 26 semi-finals and conference finals game have been decided by 12 points or more, which shows that the super-teams cannot be stopped. The NBA Finals will be exciting, the regular season was exciting due to player performances and playoff races, but the NBA playoffs so far are lacking competition, and games are predictable.
