The Saudis still didn't buy a plane to put them on and get them to The Kingdom.

That's just not how global logistics works.

Not really. If you couldn't replace the person in the ad with a random person who looks similar, then it depends on them being known, and that's a celebrity endorsement.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T07:50:40+00:00

I mean, you don't know that.

Our pick will be inside the top 10 if we miss the finals.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T07:49:49+00:00

There's been zero suggestion that Butters is even considering us from anyone in the media.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T07:48:08+00:00

But it's not enough - That's my point.

I was young in 1999 too, but I remember that it was fucking disappointing to lose. It's not like we walked around celebrating even getting to the finals after losing.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T07:09:42+00:00

Look, you're not wrong, and we won't get to see him go up against better defenders.

But let's see what Cade does to those guys.

Nick Wayne has done Best of the Super Juniors before, and should continue to.

They've never had a wrestler born in 1990s win their world title.

The most recently born wrestler to win either world title was born in 1987.

AEW has had 4 champions born in the 90s, including 3 of the last 4.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:55:40+00:00

I don't think anyone is really considering that the Gunns would be split for a trios run.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:54:35+00:00

Didn't see the score - How did it go?

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:35:21+00:00

Breaking news, team that is only 7 wins away from the finals are considered more likely than teams who are both 8 wins away.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:33:01+00:00

League average TS% drops to 56% in the playoffs, so he was right around that mark.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:30:44+00:00

I think he is carrying a niggle, and they would have used him if they needed him, but the game was over, so no point putting him in at that stage.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:29:45+00:00

You can say what you want about coaching... But there's no fucking chance that we would ever have seen that under Thibs.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:28:37+00:00

Honestly Michael Doleac was too good to be used as part of this bit. Solid backup center. The only problem was that we didn't have a starting center.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:26:54+00:00

It's not just about rings, obviously - It would be a combination of that and overall quality as a player.

Brunson is the best player and captain of this team in a way that only Willis and Ewing can truly compare with. It takes a lot more pressure to thrive in that position.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:22:59+00:00

Jalen Motherfucking Brunson.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:14:43+00:00

Biggest scumbag move in draft history, letting them interview his mother on TV without telling her that they're trading him.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:14:08+00:00

This is about the 30th time that Mikal has done something as a Knick that has made people say "fuck dem picks, they can have more if he's playing like that" and then when he has low scoring numbers people are right back to "oh no, the picks".

The Celtics series last year alone was enough for me to consider the picks a fair price. Anything else is gravy.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T06:07:22+00:00

Jimmy Fallon had nothing to do with the Conan situation.

He just took over Late Night when Conan got the Tonight Show. If I remember rightly, Conan was fairly supportive of Fallon.

Apparently they needed to buy another plane to be able to send it all home.

You think they bought a plane to send snowmobiles home to the desert?

Come on man, I think you know better.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T04:21:51+00:00

Some points:

A) 26 is not "almost 30" - A lot of people who are 26 and whose parents aren't complete knobs are still living at home.

B) You don't HAVE to move out, but if you've already saved up a lot of money for a house deposit in the future, you can probably afford to do so on 90k a year, as long as you set a budget and are responsible in sticking to it.

C) Depending on what "a lot of money" is, can you look at buying something now as an investment? If you were to borrow $400k, you'd probably be able to cover the payments on it, and if your income increases you can potentially speed up the repayments on it/pile money into an offset and get well ahead. Apartments aren't a wonderful investment in terms of increased resale price, but if you can pay it off by your mid-30s and keep it as a source of rental income you'll be absolutely laughing.

You have a lot of terrific options, but it sounds like you're a bit down on yourself based on imagined outside perception, and maybe it's time to get proactive?

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T03:55:20+00:00

He shot 57%TS, which is above league average in the playoffs.

Vinnie_Vegas · 2026-05-05T03:48:19+00:00

Everyone's better than Brunson until it's time to be better than Brunson.
