The 41-point blowout win of the Brooklyn Nets in Game 2 on Monday says a lot about the team's punishing offense. It also says a lot about the Milwaukee Bucks' anemic defense.
Or at least that's what a former NBA champion believes.
The Nets annihilated, obliterated, incinerated the Bucks, 125-86 to take a commanding 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven battle. Kevin Durant once again led the way, finishing with a game-high 32 points on 12-of-18 shooting. He was simply majestic once again, making scoring look as easy as blundering an analogy.
Durant effortlessly burned whatever defense the Bucks threw at him. Or for Channing Frye, the lack of it. Appearing on NBA on TNT, he dissected Game 2 and roasted the Bucks' defensive strategy on KD.

Durant easily found his spots, destroying the phalanx of Bucks defenders, including PJ Tucker, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks tried to give the former MVP different looks but the only look they got was the look of despair as they had no answer for Durant all game.
The Nets, who will miss James Harden for the rest of the series, are averaging a staggering 120 points in the first two games, with Durant putting up 30.5 points. As crazy as it sounds, it seems he's not even in killer mode. It's like he's just nonchalantly playing against kids in a backyard hoop.
As Frye said, if the Bucks don't change their defensive schemes, KD will just continue to get 'em buckets.
We're not saying Kevin Durant is a cheat code, but Kevin Durant is a cheat code.
