The Golden State Warriors didn’t have the best Christmas Day game this year. They were handed their second defeat of the season by the Bucks in a ridiculous blowout game. The only positive thing about the Dubs was that #2 overall pick James Wiseman had a good game.
Apart from Wiseman, the whole team struggled to get going. In fact, no player even crossed the 20 point mark in the entire game. Although the Warriors are coming off of an abysmal 2019-20 season, they were expected to redeem their shortcomings from last year.
Unfortunately, things are not looking bright for them. Their leader and best player, Steph Curry continued his poor form of Christmas games as he shot just 2-10 from long-range. The Bucks racked up an amazing victory on Christmas day due to the Warriors’ untimely collapse.

Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andrew Wiggins need to step up their games owing to the fact that they are expected to be the most reliable scorers in the absence of Klay Thompson. But so far they’re looking completely out of sync. However, they do have some time to adjust to the role which the organization requires them to perform.
Should the Golden State Warriors be worried?

The season has just started, but so far, the Dubs are looking like a bad team. In fact, they are showing shades of their terrible 2019-20 NBA season. For the next few games, they do not have their defensive anchor Draymond Green on the floor and his absence is another problem for head coach Steve Kerr.
As things stand, for now, the organization should definitely be worried about their season. But what are your thoughts on the Warriors so far? Let us know in the comments section down below.
