This is ice-cold man. Even though I rationally know this is just a hypothetical Durant quote, my personal Q-score for him has gone down.

No it doesn't, he's playing on a team that is the overwhelming title favorite, which is exactly what he wanted.

28 other teams wish they were so dicey. They are still the favorite even if I'd give them a 50% chance at the chip right now. I'd say Cleveland is 25% and the field is 25%. You still need to play the games but this is the biggest favourite Durant had ever played on by a long shot.

I also look forward to him getting knocked out in the second round.

Durant's recent comments about fans booing him or whatever, the same as with Lebron's almost identical comments from the past , are perfectly harmless and reasonable things for an athlete to say. They didn't say that their haters are all losers, nor did they really even imply that. Whether are lives are great or lovely, we all use sports as a distraction, that's the whole point. Y'all love to read waaaaaay too much into what players say and what that means about their personalities.

Worst you can say about Durant here is that he's just copying what Lebron said first a few years ago, which indicates low character and bitch-made status.

It's a passive-aggressive way of saying "my haters have crappy lives". Or another way, a passive-aggressive way of doing what LeBron pointedly did once, therefore reaffirming Durant's beta status

It's not updated for this season, it was made to demonstrate how improved PG is because this year he is 57% or something.

You really can't pull the "gently caress defense" thing when the Rockets aren't even top 10 worst

They're actually pretty average on defense

In fact they are literally 1 spot below the cavs
