When it comes to the Indiana Pacers, the Milwaukee Bucks can’t seem to crack the code.
Rick Carlisle’s team has had their number this season, beating them with ease four out of five times.
The Pacers have put up at least 122 points against them and average a whopping 128.8 points per game in their meetings.
They even knocked them out of the In-Season Tournament semifinal, and they’ve exposed them on defense over and over.
When asked about that, Giannis Antetokounmpo had one of the most straightforward and bizarre answers one could ever hear, stating that he thinks about those losses so much that he even thinks about them when he’s about to get intimate (via Nathan Marizon).
Giannis on the Pacers beating them 4 times:
“You think about it. When you go home and sleep and wake up, you think about it. When you go back and work out, you think about it…. When you’re about to get freaky at night, you think about it.” pic.twitter.com/UWpi0WLbWB

Of course, we hope Giannis is just joking around, and he leaves whatever happens on the court away from the bedroom, but we get his point.
The Bucks were supposed to be the strongest powerhouse in the Eastern Conference this season, but their defense took a massive hit without Jrue Holiday.
The Bucks are still 24-10, but four of those ten losses have been against the very same team, so opponents might want to take a page out of Rick Carlisle’s book when it comes to facing them in the playoffs.
Some teams are just a bad matchup for others; it happens to the best of them.
But the Bucks seem like a team that can be had because of their defensive flaws, and the Pacers’ run-and-gun style has been almost impossible for them to stop.
