Paolo and Cade really went band for band tonight

He was keeping them in the game that 4th quarter

Would’ve had 60 if he could make FTs.

Lil efficient 45 point near triple double 😮‍💨

Paolo is a play-off riser

Paolo “Jimmy Butler” Banchero

I couldn’t believe how many 3s he was just draining.

The FTs simply MUST go in!!!!!!

this man is just a different guy in the playoffs

6 3s is insane

almost stole a game without franz in the best Pistons performance in the series.

Obviously still have a little hope pull this off but Paulo has been a monster

Wasted Paolo greatness because of missing FTs and terrible Bench, sad.

Paolo gets boring post after having a near franchise playoff record.. game 6 we dropping the anchor on the pistons

Banchero is a beast I’ll always root for him

That’s decent, I think

Did his best impression of game 5 Lebron in 2007

both him and cade need help lmfao

I enjoy this guys unique playstyle in the modern NBA

MFS on this sub will swear he’s not a playoff riser

This is his 3rd straight year of being a playoff riser. I would never turn my back on this highly skilled bully.

Paolo needs more help

Make your damn FTs 

he was unreal in the 4th

Best game of Paolos career. Too bad Cade also had the best game of his career. And the pistons didn’t shoot 50% on 30 FT attempts

Paolo is for real holy, he only gets scarier with more playoff experience

Man he’s a great player. Only 23 years old skies the limit.

Since Jalen Duren doesn’t deserve a max contract due to bad performance in playoff (as per reddit)

Does Banchero deserves the max contract for being a star in playoff?

Would’ve been 50+ and a win if he made his free throws 😢

This is the most Orlando Magic game possible. Team scores 110 points, Paolo has 45. Let’s check the boxscore, who was rebounding, oh right, Paolo. Who was passing him the ball? Oh right, nobody, he has the most assists.

He’s the only guy on his team that bothered to get out of bed this morning. And yet despite this, this thread will be full of “Ya but he missed some free throws.”

I swear dude was one of the worst shooters in the league this year. He was terrifying tonight

Dude is genuinely a playoff riser. Makes his Regular Season all the more frustrating.

Paolo > Cade in playoffs

Cade > Paolo in Regular szn

There I said it.

you don’t understand he’s actually fucking terrible my analytics said so 🤓

Gotta make your free throws.

Dude played an amazing game tbh

They will never make me leave Paolo island.

Damn people were saying this guy is a scrub after that play in game 😂 tbf he looked awful there but goddamn people overhate on guys. Amazing performance from a young star, the sky is the limit especially if he gets better at shooting

Crazy magnet ball

Those FT by the magic werr horrendous oh my days, they were throwing bricks at the rim half the time.

He had the three fucking going tonight though! Those fourth quarter threes were tough!

How many iso plays did he run

Never seen in shoot the 3 like this.

Not just him, but those missed FTs were a killer.

Can’t have that happen at home.

Dropping an incredibly efficient 45/9/7 in a playoff game is absolute superstar behavior, but going ⁵⁄₁₂ from the free-throw line in a 7-point loss is definitely going to haunt him tonight.

A spiritual experience minus the free throws

Paolo misses 7 FTs, loses by 7… oof.

Orlando was ¹⁶⁄₃₀ from 3. wtf.

Why can’t he just do this in the regular season lmao the gap is insane

Every single year he looks like he’s taken a massive shooting leap in the playoffs and then October comes along and he left his 3 ball somewhere over the summer

Playoff rising is great and all but the Magic narrative would be way different with this version of Paolo

Fuck him

Nba fans are so reactionary 😂😂 great game for sure, hes still an inefficient chucker. Throw up enough shots you’ll have some good games.
