Milwaukee has struggled in the postseason since winning the title in 2021 against the Phoenix Suns. Antetokounmpo and Co. lost to the Boston Celtics in the second round of the 2022 playoffs, the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2023 playoffs and the Pacers in the first round of last year's playoffs.

Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo warned the Pacers not to poke him, despite being down 2-0 in the series.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been down 0-2 in the NBA Playoffs before. Fans may recall that they overcame an 0-2 deficit in the 2021 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals against the highly-favorited Brooklyn Nets to win the series in seven games.
