Duhon: Knicks Didn't Take Friday Game Seriously

Chris Duhon told the media that his teammates were not serious about Friday's game in Charlotte. Duhon said the Knicks dropped their double overtime loss against the Bobcats by not having the right mindset prior to tip-off.

"We lost this game before the game even started," Duhon said. "A lot of us weren't taking the game serious, joking around, not really preparing for the game and it showed."

Duhon continued: "We're not that good. We can't come in here and joke around and take the game lightly. It is a precious game and we've got to be serious. This is our job and we have to take it seriously, and we're not doing that right now. It shows in our layup line, it shows before the game. That's why we come out and we're not ready to play."

The Knicks were down 19 points after the first period but mounted a huge fourth-quarter comeback to force the extra sessions. The Bobcats went on to win the game by a score of 102-100.

Larry Brown Likes Knicks' 2010 Plan

Larry Brown had positive things to say about the direction that the Knicks' organization is heading. Brown was fired as head coach in New York after one season.

"New York is a franchise that a lot of people want to play [for]. They've got assets, money and they've got a good plan," Brown said.

Brown also had complimentary words for Eddy Curry's value as a low-post scorer but cautioned that the center will be in a precarious position if he does not play this season.

"If he doesn't play this year, that's going to be real hard," Brown said.
