It hasn’t been all good for the Golden State Warriors the past week or so. From the whole Draymond Green and Kevin Durant blow-up to them on a three-game losing streak ever since the incident, things look vulnerable for the super squad right now.
During their game against the Dallas Mavericks, KD got frustrated with a fan sitting courtside and walked up to him to tell him to “watch the fucking game & shut the fuck up.”
He was subsequently fined $25,000 by the NBA.
During Chris Haynes’ Yahoo! podcast, he had Durant on there and he hit him with the breaking news as it broke. His reaction was typical Kevin shit:

How many more games will the Warriors lose on this downturn?
The original incident
In related news, Durant talked about his upcoming free agency and how the incident with Draymond won’t interfere with his decision:
“Nah, [it won’t factor]. Because at the end of the day, I’m just a ballplayer that’s just trying to be in a great environment to play basketball and groom my skills every day. And I want to compete on a level that once the game starts, I’m just totally comfortable with my surroundings, with just going out there and being me.
I was upset, but I know that I can’t hold on to something like this. I know that I’ve got to make a choice with myself, like how long are you going to be upset about this to the point where you’re going to let it affect what you do on the floor or how you approach the game?
Once it gets there now, I got to make a grown-man decision and tell myself, ‘Look, man, no matter what, you still got to come to work every single day. It’s going to work out. It’s going to figure itself out.’ And I think everyone’s been handling it the best way they could and we’re just trying to move forward with it.”
