Channing Frye doesn't see any hope at all for the Milwaukee Bucks in their second-round playoffs series against the Brooklyn Nets. In fact, the one-time NBA champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers is predicting a sweep after Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. fell 2-0 to Kevin Durant and his tough star-studded Brooklyn team.

The Bucks just suffered a 39-point beating at the hands of the Nets, so it's not really surprising to hear Channing Frye make that bold prediction. Simply put, they had no answer for KD and Kyrie Irving.

Not to mention that James Harden basically hasn't played yet in the series after he spent less than one minute in Game 1 before suffering a hamstring injury. Imagine what the Nets could do if the Beard is active?

The 125-86 defeat on Monday is Milwaukee's second-biggest lost in franchise history. Unsurprisingly, it is also the Nets' best margin of victory in the postseason–a clear proof of the vast difference in talent between the two teams.

Of course, as we have learned over the past years, no lead is safe in the playoffs. It is worth noting that Giannis Antetokounmpo is still an MVP-caliber player, and he is undoubtedly difficult to stop offensively. There is still the possibility the Bucks can catch the Nets off-guard and steal a game or two in the series–just like what Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics did in their Round 1 matchup.

However, as for coming back in the series, that is a different matter altogether. By the looks of it, the Bucks' chances are very slim.
