last 5 games Pablo Prigioni averaged 4,8 pts and 3,4 assists , not a strong case to return him to the starting lineup right? what shouldn't be overlooked is the intangibles he brought to the court. Prigioni is able to apply full court pressure on George Hill , prigioni's quick hand makes Hill slows down for fear of getting the ball stolen. This means Pacers has less shot clock to work with, forcing them to launch hurried shots.
Pacers has stingy defense but their offense is not that great. the only way knicks can win is if they can get more possessions than pacers do.
There is no stopping hibbert, but if knicks can ensure that when hibbert gets the ball there is only 10-14 seconds left on the shot clock, it's already a success and Knicks need Prigioni for it.
