Know thy enemy: Portland Trail Blazers
Lakers Blog — ... you have a team theoretically ready to take a serious stand.  (For that matter, when it comes to being built to compete now and down the road, the Blazers also match up very well against the Lakers.  This could shape into quite the rivalry over the impending decade.)

Roto Arcade — ... are locks here, but then it gets interesting. Greg Oden(notes) will be under a serious microscope, and for good reason. Can he avoid foul trouble and become a real difference-maker in his second season? We know that Joel Przybilla(notes) can step in if it doesn't happen. For how long will Andre Miller(notes) remain a reserve behind Steve Blake(notes), and how will it affect his production? With Nicolas Batum(notes) out for ...
