The post-8 minute timeout press was the first time I've seen us use it effectively this year (or maybe ever). Much of the credit for that and the pressure defense down the stretch goes to Irving. Quit getting foul trouble Matv. Team can't afford it.
I would be critical of Frank's substituting. But it was obvious the last thing he wanted was for this team to get an easy win to sit on for the next week, although I doubt he was keen on giving No. Fla. the chance to win with a 3 on its last possession. Someday, this get pissed off and clear the bench in the first half against a nobody is going to bite him in the ass, but by surviving he gets to tell the seldom-used they truly are shitty and continue to ride those in the regular rotation.
Totally don't give a crap how sweaty Gipson's uniform is. Would love and fully expect to see him drop about 20 pounds in the off season. Hopefully, Diaz picks it up.
I'm all but done with Angel. Selfish on the break and no concept of what he can't do, his only redeeming value right now is his toughness. I'm past the point of wanting to be impressed. All I'm looking for now is promise of the kind Diaz showed today.
