Perimeter defense is proving to be a big weakness with this team through their games thus far. Orlando's shooting has just been ridiculous, but still, far too many open looks.

A few things I like though in today's game thus far: each of Bargnani, Bosh, and Turkoglu have had great runs. That third scorer makes a huge difference. Also, this offense has the potential to get any team in the league into foul trouble. Combine that with generally good free-throw shooting (not so much today) and it's a dangerous combination.

Also I've loved how DeRozan has played so far this season for a rookie; so many of his points have been second-chance points. Strong offensive rebounder and an ability to finish inside. I like it a lot.
