Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant did his best to clarify his comments on Monday, one day after telling viewers to turn the dial if they don't like what they see in the NBA playoffs. The NBA playoffs have featured plenty of lopsided games while the Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers have combined to win all but one of their games.

Asked if the plethora of blowouts are bad for the league, Durant said, "If you don't like it, don't watch it." That response wasn't received well, especially coming from the mouth of a superstar player.
"I mean, life can be simple, man," Durant told ESPN on Monday. "If you don't like the way the game is going, just turn it off. If you're enjoying it, just keep it on. Life is simple.
"I didn't mean it to disrespect anybody, but if you felt disrespected, I'm sorry. But if you don't enjoy the game, turn it off (and) turn something else on. If you do, enjoy the rest of it, man."
Golden State, which owns a 3-0 edge in the Western Conference finals, has defeated the San Antonio Spurs by an average of 24 points in the last two games. The Spurs have played without Kawhi Leonard since he sustained a sprained left ankle in the opener.
Game 4 of the series in Monday night.
