Yeah, I wouldn't expect Radmanovich to come in and change the tempo of the game. |

sat 6 rows nearly directly behind the kid in the Kobe Lower Merion jersey (the one jumping and screaming courtside) - can't see from this angle.
I just want to thank my company for sending me out to Fort Worth yesterday for work and the scalper who sold me and a co-worker $270 seats for $150 a piece right before gametime.
big time Laker fan party in the building after the game and even spilling out onto the seats.
what a game! |

sorry, but i hate it when people misuse "ironic". in these cases, it is coincidental. ironic is when something is completely opposite of what you expect |
ironic:
3. coincidental; unexpected: It was ironic that I was seated next to my ex-husband at the dinner.
where's the misuse? |
Ironic is supposed to be used for something that is polar to your expectations. That sentence works because you the term "ex"-husband implys that you guys are not spending time near each other at all, yet you sit next to him. However, when talking about the 7 point road wins, it's not as if you aren't expecting a 7 point win.
Here are some other examples:
Ironic:
The fire station burned down.
The criminal who murdered the district attorney didn't get convicted.
Coincidental:
The Laker's won both their road games by 7 points!
see? |
i get what you're saying. i'm just going by the definition, which "coincidental" happens to be part of.
see?
