While playing in the arena of the team that famously coveted him leading up to the 2009 NBA Draft, Stephen Curry played a career low two minutes and 35 seconds.

"This is as tired as I've ever been in my life," Curry said after the Warriors victory over the Knicks.

"It sucks. It sucks. You don't want to be sitting and watching, especially how the season has started," he said. "Hopefully, I won't get used to it, but we'll see what happens."

Coach Don Nelson hasn't addressed the subject with his rookie and avoided the topic with the media.

"This is the first game that I haven't used him, and he's got to understand that those other guys were playing great," Nelson said. "There will be plenty of time for him to play."

"They haven't told me that I'm doing anything wrong," Curry said. "I'll ask some questions, because I hate this feeling. I come in and work every day, try to learn and take practice seriously, so I've just got to keep doing that and be patient. ...

"I'll do it in a respectful way. I'll do it in a way that shows I'm willing to work harder if I need to or do something different if I need to. I'm not going to walk in and yell, 'Coach, why ain't you playing me?' "
