Kawakami: Durant faces the Warriors' depth

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kevin Durant is facing Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston and Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut, and he's facing Ron Adams, too.

That's a lot, and that's what the Warriors want Durant and Russell Westbrook to feel; that's how they want the Western Conference finals to unfold.On one side of this series: Oklahoma City's two superstars.On the other: The Warriors' depth, length, strength and the strategies of their coaching staff, keyed defensively by Adams, who sets the serious tone by maintaining a deadpan solemnity.Strength in glumness, you could say."I can tell the little creative schemes that they do out there that's different from any other team, I know that's coming from Ron (Adams)," Durant told Oklahoma reporters recently.
