How will the Warriors look in game 2?

During their regular-season debut, the Golden State Warriors looked overmatched against the Brooklyn Nets. Even though the Warriors were missing Draymond Green and Klay Thompson (who is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to injury), it wasn’t a great first step to the start of 2020-21.

In their second game of the season, it doesn’t get much easier as the Warriors will have their hands full against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on Christmas Day. It’ll be interesting to see how the Warriors look in this game.

Will James Wiseman look more comfortable after getting off to a shaky start in game 1? Will we a version of Stephen Curry that we’re more familiar with? Against the Nets, Curry shot 7-21 from the field. It’d be nice to see a vintage Curry game against the Bucks on Christmas Day.
