The Milwaukee Bucks are feeling themselves right now after a strong start to their first-round playoff series against the Toronto Raptors. They have one of the best young players in the league in Giannis Antetokounmpo, and they're on track to be a force in the Eastern Conference for a long time.

But Milwaukee's social media team is not content to simply sit back and wait on the future. They want to stunt on their enemies now. So with the help of the team's mascot, Bango the Buck, the Bucks ruthlessly attacked the Raptors on Snapchat prior to their Game 4 clash on Saturday. They used a series of cue-card jokes to mock Toronto's deficit in the series and even compared them to roadkill:

This isn't the first high-profile troll job from the Bucks during this series. During Toronto's pre-game introductions at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, the Bucks crew has taken to playing the Barney theme song when the Raptors take the court:

The Barney theme has even taken on a life of its own, with people inside and outside the organization using the hilarious spoof to continue clowning Toronto:

Someone might want to remind the Bucks' social media team that they're only three games into the series with plenty of basketball left to play. If they lose Game 4 or, worse, if they lose the series, they're setting themselves up for some severe payback.
