It would be irresponsible to judge the Portland Trail Blazers on a sample of just the first two weeks of the season, but there are some interesting trends developing over the first few games.
Defense
The Blazers defense has been porous at the start of the season. Prior to the Thunder game they had conceded 38.4% from the three-point line which ranked them 25th in the league. The perimeter defense is of the biggest concern and will need to be addressed immediately. Though they only conceded four three pointers to the Thunder they will need to be on their game against their stronger conference rivals.
