After a dismal finish to last night’s game, the Warriors get right back up on the horse and welcome a strong Bulls team to Oracle for their only meeting of the year. What to watch for tonight:

  • Curry’s Everything: He toughed it out last night on his bum ankle, but with bad shooting and costly turnovers (and decent-looking backup PG play from Ish Smith in limited minutes) it’s arguable whether or not he should have. Can he rebound with a decent floor game tonight?
  • Biedrins’ Resurgence: One of the few pleasant surprises last night was a solid game from Biedrins. He showed a few flashes last year, but could never string together a consistent streak of strong play. Can he buck that trend and start off this new season with a solid stretch of games right out of the gate?
  • The Newcomers: Brandon Rush was everywhere last night, and Smith looked like a more than serviceable backup PG. Thompson’s shooting woes continued, but didn’t seem lost, had some big buckets late, and didn’t look nearly as bad on defense as I was expecting. If Udoh and Brown could play a bit better, I might start feeling pretty good about the Warriors’ bench this year.

    Good stuff, good stuff. I think even at two games in, the defensive effort can be acknowledged as an improvement.
