Brown Still Believes Curry Will Be An Asset

Larry Brown still believes that Eddy Curry will be an asset in the near future.

Brown endorsed the acquisition of Curry when he was coaching the Knicks in 2005.

"I believe down the road he'll be an asset, I really believe that," Brown told the New York Post on Friday.

"He still has time and has a general manager who thinks a lot of him and is not rushing him. But if he doesn't play this year, it's going to be real hard."

Curry will be reevaluated Sunday and could be cleared to practice for the first time since the opening day of training camp.

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.
