"Here's a kid I didn't know coming into this season, with what little I saw in London during the Olympics," said coach Mike Woodson, whose team went on a 13-game winning streak that began the day he placed Prigioni in the starting lineup. "He's done more than I could have ever imagined a player doing for our ball club." Wall Street Journal At the start of the fourth quarter, Prigioni nailed a 3-pointer and then drove into the paint for a short jumper, both times working off of screens with Tyson Chandler. Then, when he grabbed a defensive rebound and was bringing the ball up the court, the Garden crowd started chanting "Pab-lo, Pab-lo!" That was the first time his name echoed throughout the arena, and he called it an "amazing" feeling. ESPN.com "I'm really happy, but for me it's only about the team," he said. "It's not about one guy or two guys. You can't believe how happy I am now. I'm really happy with this team. We played good, and for me the most important thing always is the team." ESPN.com "Raymond went out, he came in and he stepped up big time," Carmelo Anthony said. "Tonight, Pablo was spectacular on both ends of the court. He controlled the game, he controlled the ball, and on the defensive end, he pressured the ball and he got us getting up and pressuring the ball as a team." ESPN.com |

Pablo Prigioni admitted his ankle was "maybe 75 to 80 percent". Why he said he had to play in Game 2: "I can't stay one more game out," Prigioni said after playing 17:35 and posting five assists with 0 turnovers. "I want to play." Prigioni rolled his ankle in the final game of the regular season a week ago today. "Normally, I recover fast from injuries," he said, but the ankle swelled up on him. It caused him to miss Game 1 of the playoffs, which was last Saturday. Sulia |

As for the Argentine Prigioni—who praised how open the Knicks' staff is about letting him and other veterans instruct the team's younger players—is also interested in coaching. He said he would almost certainly get his "license" to coach this summer in Spain once the NBA season ends. "All of my [past] coaches, they say that I have almost a poison inside that I can't fight: That I'm going to be a coach for sure," Prigioni said. "I just laugh and say I'm still a player. But they're probably right—I'll still want to stay involved with the game." Wall Street Journal |

![]() Pablo Prigioni, a 35-year-old rookie from Argentina, does not use ice — not after games, practice or shoot-arounds. “I don’t like it,” he said. If the Knicks’ locker room sometimes feels crowded with wounded and exhausted players, Prigioni is nearly always one of the first showered and dressed, sometimes in a plaid dress shirt, dark jeans and Chuck Taylors. “If you get used to using ice all the time, you feel then you need it every day,” said Prigioni, who is averaging about 15 minutes a game, and roughly 20 since Coach Mike Woodson made him a starter 11 games ago. “I decided I will just use it when I really need it. Thank God I don’t need it.” New York Times |
