But the angry, accusatory, repetitive, incoherent rants are not interesting, helpful or enjoyable.
There are lots of critical points made by others over the last several pages that are nothing like y'alls out of control, angry joint diatribe.
Go back and read it for yourself. See if you like that you. You're not always like that.
Got to give people some time to digest. I can understand not enjoying the ebb and flow but I wouldn't say it has come close to toxic.

This isn't bad, but I would have rather overpaid Portis (back to the Bucks for dirt cheap, by far the biggest bargain of free agency so far) than re-sign THJ. Then we would have had our starting lineup (with one glaringly remaining problem in the middle). Could have had Holmes for rather cheap as well.
The more I think about this evening, the more I abominate the THJ re-sign. He. Is. A. Bench. Player. For. A. Luka. Led. Team. Period.
I think it's pretty terrible that we haven't gotten the final word on Dragic coming for Powell and change either. I think Ujiri is bending Nico over pretty good.
It was reported Portis wanted 15m+. You cool with that? Mavs did at least talk to him.
