Bucks fall to Knicks in season opener

Additional news reports about the Knicks City Dancers and the Brooklynettes detail conditions in which dancers are paid more than minimum wage per game, but time spent practicing and participating in franchise events are not accounted for.

They played a superior team in their home opener Thursday night, and trailed by as many as 22 before falling, 112-101, to the Hawks at the Garden. Derrick Williams, who had a game-high 24 points and seven rebounds, powered the Knicks in this game, continuing his prowness from the preseason.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Milwaukee’s last 7 games when playing New York.

The Knicks opened up their regular season against those same Bucks, and what an opener it was.

New York really struggled in the first half, shooting 38.6% from the field. It’s going to be another work-in-progress when we have Michael, Khris, Jabari and Giannis and Moose (Monroe) out there at the same time. It would be horribly unfair to judge Milwaukee on one game, especially one in which two starters and a key bench player were missing.

“It’s always interesting how things change”, he said.

“I think we were lackadaisical on defense tonight”. We remain committed to working with the women who have spoken out against their teams and want to pursue the best course of action in rectifying this economic injustice that represents progress in the fight for pay equity across all industries. “We can’t go up and down with the sun and the moon one day at a time”. “We’ve been in the dumps for a while under Herb, no offense. We treat all of our employees fairly, including our Bucks dancers, and pay them fairly and in compliance with federal and state law”.

The Milwaukee Bucks look to build on a surprising season that included 41 wins under Jason Kidd’s first year.

“It always sucks to lose”, Porzingis reflected candidly. Am I going to be the same player?

Before he became a believer, Anthony had to first overcome being overwhelmed by his own doubts about himself. “You can see that coming”.

It wasn’t long before Knicks fans got a glimpse of why Phil Jackson made the controversial call to draft Kristaps Porzingis.

Mike Bass, a spokesman for the N.B.A., said: “Team dancers are an important part of the N.B.A. game experience and are valued members of the N.B.A. family”.

Taking a pragmatic approach to the defeat, Anthony said, “We’re going to learn from this”.

“Just trying to get back to ourselves, back to our habits”, forward Paul Millsap said.

Ultimately, the Knicks’ first two games figure to be an early microcosm of the likely ups and downs to come this season. It’s a process. Being great is not easy.

That team last year improved by 26 wins, the 10th-highest turnaround in National Basketball Association history, and they still average 23 years old – six years less than the average National Basketball Association championship team, according to GM John Hammond.
