George: We Need Consistency From Hibbert
Perhaps now it can finally be said, after the slumping and sulking, after the benching and “resting,” after the donuts on the scoresheet and universal mockery: Roy Hibbert has finally,finally emerged from his late-season slog and is, once again, back to playing some pretty good basketball for the Indiana Pacers.
“Roy knows we got his back, simple as that,” said Paul George. “He just has (to) continue to be consistent for us. We know (some) nights it’s going to be tough. He’s not going to score 28-30 points night-in and night-out, but we’re always going to need him on the defensive end. The past two games he’s been great just defending our basket.”
