Milwaukee posted it with Miami at 0-4 and the Brewers routing Tampa Bay in Game 3 of the World Series. The Bucks themselves had been 0-3 until Monday.

  • The Milwaukee Bucks won their first game of the season Monday night and then went after two Florida teams at once.

    "Bad day to be a Florida sports fan," the Bucks posted after their 110-102 win over Indiana.

  • The targets were easy to spot. The Miami Heat had just lost 113-109 to Dallas to fall to 0-4, and the Milwaukee Brewers were beating the Tampa Bay Rays 10-0 in Game 3 of the World Series. The Bucks didn't wait for the Brewers to finish. According to ESPN, the post went up with the baseball game still in its final third. The Brewers closed out a 10-1 win about 40 minutes later for a 3-0 series lead.

  • The Heat part is personal. Milwaukee traded Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami in June, and Miami still hasn't won a game.

    There is a fair case that the Bucks were the last team that should be talking. They were 0-3 until Monday. Tyler Herro led them with 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, and Ryan Rollins scored 19. One win, and the account is already dunking on another team's 0-4 start.

    But it's hard to argue with the timing. Teams that lead the World Series 3-0 are 25-0, according to ESPN Research, and the Brewers can win their first title Tuesday night in Game 4 at Tropicana Field. The Bucks are off Tuesday, so they'll be free to post again.

  • The Heat and Bucks meet for the first time on Nov. 18.
