Milwaukee Bucks are no longer in the playoffs for a long time but some fans are still invested – mostly because of they are rooting for their Round 1 slayer Indiana Pacers to lose. They have been disappointed since April 28.

The Pacers again pulled off the improbable against a team perceived invulnerable in the West Conference finals. Tyrese Haliburton and company stole Game 1 from Oklahoma City Thunder in the last 0.3 seconds. That was the only time they led in that game after trailing by as much as 15 points in the fourth quarter.
Nobody saw it coming but one Bucks fans did – with high accuracy.
The game finished 111-110 and X user @buck4orlife saw it coming before the tip-off. His Nostradamus take even got featured by Bleacher Report.

Milwaukee Bucks’ fans investment on NBA finals is polarizing
It is natural for fans to feel bitter about the Pacers and Haliburton. After all, they booted the team out twice in the last two playoffs. And those seasons were not without heated arguments and confrontations.
Last year, he was among the most hated sports villain of the state according to a publication.
However, others are still rooting for Haliburton, mostly because he is from Wisconsin.

There was even a time last month when he almost did the ceremonial pitch for a Milwaukee Brewers but was called off because of his role in the heartbreak of Milwaukee fans.
Pacers and Thunder will continue their series on Monday and according to @buck4orlife, this series will be decided in seven games. Time to know if the user is for real.
