I was there today (my 3rd time) and I agree with just about everything you say with the exception of TM. I thought he was fantastic. He seems to glide down court and all of a sudden there is this burst of energy that leaves who ever is guarding him with broken ankles. I agree EO is going to be hard for the valley to score on him inside, he needs to improve his offense. He has good moves but the ball never seems to drop for him.

You said with the exception of TM,this is not to compare the two eventhough we put them (DK) together all the time but it's really time we separate them and evaluate them independently.I'm probably as guilty of doing that as anybody so I've got to stop myself.TM is intriguing,when the guys first started playing nobody special was guarding TM and lately it's always PJ and a few times AE,did you notice that.What I think happened is they found out the kid can score.Can you respond.

Take "comparable" (4 syllables) for example. I may be the only person on this fine forum, who pronounces the word correctly. However, through common usage, we will see the day, when a new word will become accepted into the dictionary. The word is "comprable" (3 syllables).

RDR,

Make that 2. I have to admit, however, that hearing "com pair a bal", while most annoying, does not nearly cause the stress level that accompanies having to hear "acrosst" bantered about in daily verbage.

Jagged T-Rex nails "acrosst" a blackboard is pleasant compared to that.

:D

This is not my fight so I am not taking sides (I have no idea what you are writing about); however: RJL are you sure "theoried" is an actual word?

Theoried = Theory'd.

Putting either behind a word is a common literary technique used put a pejorative tone on an action.

Just checking, I must have missed that day in English class. I'll take your word on this one.

Hey, you learn something new everyday.

In a strict sense, theoried is not a word. Not yet, but maybe in the future.

However, Americans love to create new words. Hence, we have growth in the dictionary every year.

Similarly, we have the mispronunciation of the words, "caramel" and "realtor." In the former, most folks eliminate one syllable and sound a long "a". In the latter, most folks add a syllable.

Coach Marshall said Aaron is 6-9. Coach Marshall said he did not know how that 6-7 stuff got started. (This a basketball thread, isn't it?)

My wife took exception to that assertion.

Yes, I was a little too full of myself there.

I did not see a single tat.

Gracias.
