The NBA Playoffs are in full swing, delivering thrilling matchups and unexpected turns. The New York Knicks have taken a 2-1 lead against the Detroit Pistons after a narrow 118-116 Game 3 victory. It was all thanks to Karl-Anthony Towns, who contributed 31 points and eight rebounds. Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets tied their series 2-2 against the Los Angeles Clippers, thanks to Aaron Gordon’s buzzer-beating dunk in a 101-99 win.

While in the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers have established a commanding 3-0 series lead over the Miami Heat following a 124-87 blowout, despite missing key players. Well, if there is someone who’s been at the top of games, it’s Magic Johnson. From Clippers to Nuggets to Warriors, he has been sharing updates on his X account. Just an hour ago, he commended Stephen Curry, Jokic, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, sharing how he’s looking forward to the games today. But it seems his most recent post has turned some heads, and not for good reasons.

As the hype for the playoffs continues, Magic Johnson was right there hyping up the action! But here’s where things got a little awkward. While promoting the matchups, Magic took to X to write, “If you haven’t been watching the NBA Playoffs you’ve missed intense and physical basketball.” He went on to list the battles—Pistons vs. Knicks, Lakers vs. Timberwolves, and Celtics vs. Magic. And that turned a lot of heads! Fans quickly pointed out that he completely forgot the Pacers vs. Bucks game, a huge miss on a packed playoff day.

You might be wondering—how could he forget? The Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks are in a brutal series themselves. This omission is particularly surprising considering the intensity of the Pacers-Bucks series. The Indiana Pacers currently lead the series 2-1, having secured victories in the first two games. In Game 3, the Milwaukee Bucks bounced back with a 117-101 win, propelled by Gary Trent Jr.’s nine three-pointers and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s dominant performance. Missing them wasn’t just a small slip—it overlooked a major story in these playoffs.

Fans didn’t let Magic Johnson get away with the blunder

Magic Johnson recently made waves, but it wasn’t for his legendary status on the court. Fans were left surprised over Magic missing such a huge game! And they weren’t shy about calling him out on it!

Well, one of the fans answered with a comment dripped in sarcasm! He wrote, “I guess Pacers vs. Bucks just doesn’t exist, Magic!”. Clearly, Magic’s failure to mention the game left fans feeling overlooked and annoyed, especially since the game was a major late-night event.

And the fans were just getting started! Another fan pointed out, “You missed the late game Magic! #YesCers,” showing how Johnson’s blunder felt like a major oversight for those eagerly waiting for the game.

Things escalated when someone pointed out, “The nightcap is the Pacers/Bucks tipping off at 9:30. Not watching that one?” The fan couldn’t understand how Magic could miss such a key game. They were even wondering why Johnson would call Celtics vs. Magic to be the night cap!

And the reactions didn’t stop there. One fan shared, “You missed Pacers vs Bucks. 👀,” further emphasizing how obvious Magic’s mistake was. It was a cheeky remark to the simple but serious blunder from the former champion.

Finally, another person wrote, “Pacers and Bucks aren’t playing, source Magic Johnson,” poking fun at Magic’s oversight and calling out the contradiction in his comment. Overall, Magic’s attempt to push the games left fans with more questions than admiration. He might need to fact-check properly before such comments, as all eyes are on him now!
