The Rampaging Elephant in The Room 

Post#1 » by dsg2021 » Thu Jan 9, 2025 5:00 am

There's a player returning to the Magic lineup who just casually drops 29, 6, and 9 like it's nothing.

Let's enjoy it guys :D :onfire:

"The Rampaging Elephant in The Room"

Okay, I had to ask the AI for some related nicknames.
Prepare yourselves for its answers.

    "Elephant Man" Banchero :o
    Paolo "The Tusker" Banchero
    "Big Paolo" Banchero
    "The Banchero Bulldozer" (I don't hate this one)
    "Dumbo" Banchero (doh :oops: )

Our city's champion is back. I hope Paolo isn't too hard on himself for being out, alot of times when I watch the kid I get the sense that the kid puts so much pressure on himself being the number 1 pick and all.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

How many of you’ll watching Paolo during a game though to yourself,” Man Paolo just ain’t playing good tonight at all !” Than you look at the stat sheet and see he quietly just dropped 28 points 8 boards and 6 assist. I’ve done that a few times to be honest lol

Besides the point I’ve got tickets to tonight’s game lol I do hope/think tonight is a better game for him to play if he’s only playing one of the back to backs. Not sure throwing him at Giannis right away is the best idea honestly from a physical standpoint.
