During last night’s post-game interview, a journalist told Kevin Durant that his team could face the Nuggets in the second round of playoffs and the Los Angeles Lakers and the LA Clippers in the first round. He proceeded to ask, “How much of the last weekend is not showing your hands – not giving these guys anything to prep for?” The 13x All-Star, with a grin on his face, went on to repond with what appeared to be a warning for those who face him in the playoffs.
