-It is early in the season, but those whispers you heard at the beginning of the season about Orlando's weak bench are definitely getting louder. Brian Schmitz dives into tonight's matchup of the benches and why the Magic's bench stats are not strong.
-Remember when Mickael Pietrus was the best defensive thing since sliced bread? Me neither. But the Magic did sign him to be their defensive stopper. So far, he is struggling to get into a good defensive rhythm and adjusting to the team's defensive scheme. Expect more Keith Bogans.
-Orlando has had problems against opposing point guards in the past. Tonight the Magic get their first crack at No. 1 draft pick Derrick Rose. K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Tribune looks at how Rose is adjusting to the NBA with flying colors - learning how to temper his emotions and playing like a veteran on and off the court just three games into his career. He should win Rookie of the Year at least according to Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald.
