Bucks drop season opener to Knicks

The flat fees she received – $65 for games, $30 for practices and $50 for special appearances – translated to an average hourly wage of $5, according to her lawyers.

It certainly did during their rise from a 15-67 tank job to an out-of-the-blue 41-41 record that landed them in the playoffs. One somewhat unexpected way the cities’ identities recently coincided was in the arcane – and yet controversial – world of TIF districts and public-private partnerships: the Confluence Project and the new Bucks arena. “There are different expectations”. We’re a different team. “You can’t really establish a pattern in one game, but a lot of players had each other’s backs”.

However, the Bucks have shown that they can buck the odds despite a depleted lineup. For one game anyway, that public probably didn’t want to know. Now, the team is looking to start the 2015-16 season on a high-note against a Milwaukee Bucks squad that is still dealing with a handful of injuries.

“The commitment to defend is not there”, Wizards coach Randy Wittman said.

There shouldn’t be any. With pretty much everyone returning, including Jabari Parker, the Milwaukee Bucks are ready to prove last season was no fluke. At one point in the second quarter, the Knicks were on a 15-0 run. Well, it had most of the roster, anyway.

The game started as FARTDOGily as expected, with either Bucks guards getting to the rim or Bucks bigs getting open because Robin Lopez had to help plug leaks.

In his 7 minutes, 26 seconds of action in the first quarter, Monroe scored six points, collected seven rebounds and handed out a pair of assists. Fisher said. “He needs as much experience as we can get him”. I’m not anxious. I’m not panicking. “We’ve just got to go back to the drawing board”.

Greg Monroe led the Bucks with 22 points and 14 rebounds. It was a surprise to many people, as the Knicks entered the game as five point underdogs, but easily covered. “I keep saying it, but it’s been a while for me to kind of have this experience”, Anthony said. I actually think Afflalo could excel on the second unit, being the main scoring threat when Anthony isn’t on the floor, or even taking on the sixth man role that J.R. Smith exceled in a couple of seasons ago. “We know it’s a process”. The Bucks committed 18 turnovers to New York’s eleven.

“We’re not whole”, Kidd said. They haven’t played together. “I had a good day with the (Saunders) family, an opportunity to spend a few time with them, but it was a tough, tough day”. Am I going to come back the same way?

“When you implement this new team and this city and talk about restructuring and building across the street, only bigger and better things are going to come”, McElliott said. “That’s why there’s no panic”.

Only expectations. And they’re not going to go away.

Lawsuit Lauren Herington 22 claims she would routinely earn as little as $3 an hour less than half the $7.25 minimum wage as the Milwaukee Bucks demanded she work overtime dozens of hours overtime for a flat rate
