Feeling confident that the Bucks could extend their first-round series lead to 2-0, Shaquille O'Neal picked Milwaukee to beat the Raptors in Game 2 on Tuesday.

O'Neal can be rather foolish at times, but picking the Bucks was a sound choice — especially since the Raptors struggled mightily in Game 1 and Milwaukee looked to have all of the answers. Yet Game 2 turned out to be a much different story. Thanks to a big-time shot from Kyle Lowry, the Raptors were able to defeat the Bucks 106-100 to tie the series at 1-1.

Well aware of O'Neal's prediction before the game, the Raptors' Twitter account decided to have a bit of fun at the Hall of Famer's expense:

Got 'em!
We will see if O'Neal sticks with the Bucks for Game 3, which will take place in Milwaukee on Thursday.
