With Scott fired and Paul pissed about it the Hornets know he is definitely gone so they mineaswell get something for him.

 

Might as well.

...so they mineaswell ....

Aren't you a writer or trying to be one?

[TruffleShuffle]

mineaswell

 

still not even close to being a word.

[SpongeWorthy]

I had thought CP3 was under contract for awhile and now I see that he has a player option after next season. Interesting.

Yes I am but not for a message board.

 

And mineaswell is used in both spoken and written forms (not widely). Its one of those things like y'all. I have always spoken it that way and tend to write it that way. When I'm writing for my job I have a have a completely different mindset and are much more critical of the words I chose. On a message board I don't do much editing. I also can't foresee any story that I would need to use mineaswell/might as well.

Just because you always said it that way doesn't mean it's the right way to say it.

[TruffleShuffle]

y'all is a shortening of "you all"... "mineaswell" is a nonsense "word" that you and nobody else uses in place of "might as well"

this thread is skyballing downhill in a hurry.

[sneakypower]

i'm disappointed the bum didn't use the watching football excuse again

[seanimal]

no way, i like the fabricated "i swear, people use this" reasoning. i mean, if someone calls you out for just making ish up, mineaswell just spin it in a completely absurd direction.

Like I said it's not widely used but it is in fact used. I picked it up from somewhere (always said it that way so I don't know where it came from). Is it wrong. Yes. Are there many phrases commonly misspoken in this country, hell yes. This one isn't very common but I'm guessing it has to do with the "Hoosier" accent since I most likely picked it up from my dad. He mispronounces many things and when I correct him he always says he was speaking "Hoosier."

[CubbieBum]

Anyway I think it will interesting to see what happens if Paul is shopped. I would bet one of the teams that has been building for this next offseason would pull the trigger give up a crap ton to guarantee they get an elite player.

you need to just stompit

[SpongeWorthy]

Is anyone watching the Suns/Hornets game? I've been flipping to it and Kevin Harlan (I think he's doing play by play) is practically comatose. I'm guessing he got sick shortly before the game and they couldn't get a replacement. He sounds wayyyy out of it.

it sounds like you're bag paddling on the issue

[CubbieBum]

Derrick Rose's points, assists, rebounds, shooting percentage are all down while his turnovers are up. I'm so glad I used a high draft pick on him for my fantasy team.

 

BTW I never realized how bad of a 3-pt shooter he was. Got to get much better at that if he ever wants to be great. Teams can just slack off and make sure he doesn't drive.

Bucks expect to get Redd back tonight. So everything is good right?

 

Bogut is out for up to 4 weeks now.

 

FML

Hadn't put much thought into it but I don't see how Redd and Jennings will be a great tandem. I think they will steal each others thunder to an extent.

If you were the GM for the Thunder would you give up some of your young pieces and who?

obviously russ has to go in CP3 comes this way. Would have to be something like russ, an expiring, our 2 firsts this year and something else I guess. I don't know, I cant imagine how to make it match up
