Giannis Antetokounmpo is haunted by his group’s incapability to beat the Indiana Pacers. Even in intimate moments.
The Bucks are 1-4 towards the Pacers this season, and it’s getting in Antetokounmpo’s head. Even when the Greek Freak is “about to get freaky at evening.”
Towards the remainder of the NBA, the Bucks are 24-6, successful at an 80 % clip. That is a 65-win tempo over the course of a season. Towards the Pacers, they win 20 % of their video games, which might be a 16-win tempo. No different group has overwhelmed Milwaukee greater than as soon as, and Indiana has accomplished it 4 occasions.
Antetokounmpo hasn’t appeared nervous on the courtroom, averaging 44.2 factors whereas making over two-thirds of his pictures in Pacers video games this season. However the Bucks’ protection has been non-existent towards Tyrese Haliburton, irritating the previous Defensive Participant of the Yr. Milwaukee cannot hold Indiana out of the paint, and Giannis cannot hold the Pacers out of his head, it doesn’t matter what he is doing.
The comfort for Milwaukee is that they will not must play Indiana once more within the common season. The draw back is that they cannot get revenge on the Pacers if and till these groups meet within the playoffs. With out closure, there is perhaps no finish to how lengthy the Greek Freak thinks concerning the Indiana video games.
Mockingly, Antetokounmpo’s intrusive ideas concerning the Pacers within the bed room are attaining precisely what Milwaukee has did not do towards Indiana: Cease them from scoring.
