NBA playoffs 2021: Brooklyn Nets are putting Milwaukee Bucks in uncomfortable spot

When Steve Nash was hired to coach the Brooklyn Nets super-team entry last year, it was both shocking and controversial.

Judgement on the hire is still a ways off, but Nash's first postseason on the sideline has been impressive. Nash has run circles early around two-time NBA Coach of the Year Mike Budenholzer in what was supposed to be a highly competitive playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Brooklyn is ahead 2-0 after a 125-86 spanking in Monday's Game 2.

The first two games have been at home and Nash has talent on his side -- Kevin Durant's 32 points on 18 shots would make any coach look good.
