Kurtenbach: Kevin Durant’s viral breakdown highlights his no-win situation

OAKLAND — What would you have Kevin Durant do?

Would you have him shot the ball 30 times per game against a sell-out defense that is double- and triple-teaming him on every possession, or would you prefer that he continues to buy into a system that has won the Warriors three titles and put them in the NBA Finals for four-straight seasons?

Durant agrees that he can play better ahead of Game 3 of the Warriors’ first-round series against the Clippers on Thursday. He knows that he can’t turn the ball over nine times in a game as he did in Game 2, and that he’s going to be targeted by referees for offensive fouls because of his size — he picked top four in the second half Monday.
