## Resource

It sounds dramatic… but are we sure it’s wrong? Brad and Ryan take a deep dive into the Pacers role in the unraveling of the Milwaukee Bucks over the last few seasons. From Indiana dominating the Bucks throughout the 2024 season—including the In-Season Tournament semifinal in Las Vegas—to back-to-back first-round playoff eliminations, the guys trace the timeline of a rivalry that may have fundamentally altered the trajectory of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s title window in Milwaukee. The infamous game-ball drama. Pat Beverley’s final NBA moment. Coaching firings. The Damian Lillard disaster. Brook Lopez’s exit. Khris Middleton traded. And of course the ridiculous Myles Turner deal sitting on Milwaukee’s books through 2029. At every turn, the Pacers seemed to be standing on the other side of the Bucks downfall. Was Indiana the team that officially ended an era?
