Has any team on history had such quality all over the court, and secondly could any existing squad take any 2 players from elsewhere, and be considered favourites against them? To the 2nd question, I think Melo and another 3 and D guy and Houston is right there with them. I really think Melo will be a different player around Paul and Harden. A lot said the same.about playing with Russel, but Paul is a great facilitator along with Harden, and I think he can be the outside threat we see in USA teams. I just think it's a way better fit than OKC for Melo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn straight! If we take away the Caps’ title this year, Minnesota sports have absolutely been better than DC sports in my lifetime. The Vikings have been a lot better than the Racial Slurs. The Twins have been better than the Nationals. I’d say the Wolves and the Bullets (Wizards are a stupid team name) are a wash, more or less with the Wizards having a slight advantage. And the Lynx are way better than the Mystics. 46 minutes ago, Maithanet said: Hey if we're counting the Lynx then we're DEFINITELY counting DC United's titles. We just got our MLS team.

Unless you're lumping in the Twins World Series title of the early 90s...which as it happened occurred the exact same year the Skins won the Superbowl (which you might've missed as a fan of a team who has never won one.) So you can have the Twins or you can have the Vikings but not both because your argument for one invalidates the other. But man are we really doing this? This is such an embarrassing argument to begin with, one that demeans anyone who takes part (and yet of course I STILL couldn't help weighing in ). These are two of the most tortured sports cities in America. Arguing which one has been slightly less tortured is like arguing which Soviet gulag had the nicest accommodations. Can we agree it sucks to be a fan of either sports city? Can we find common ground in that others will never fully understand the up-at-dawn, pride-swallowing siege of what it's like to have to root for and defend Kirk Cousins? Can we do that?

Also caring about ultimate, where DC has won two womens and one men's titles in the past 5 years (and I saw all of those games and know those players). Also, the Caps won. We don't need to do this any more. The hypothetical "if you ignore the Caps title" isn't even worth entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briantw Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 In actual NBA news, Kevin Love signed a four year extension with the Cavs. Unsurprising following the Channing Frye signing (which was a pretty good indication Love wasn't going anywhere immediately), but still.

No... Teddy shredded his knee so badly it tore arteries, doctors thought they might have to amputate. The trainers on the field are credited with saving his leg.
