Other than winning 50 games, making the playoffs and winning the NBA championship, what are you most looking forward to seeing this season? Greg Oden? Rudy Fernandez? Jerryd Bayless? Sergio Rodriguez commited to being a better shooter and defender? Something or somebody else?
 
See this group of guys grow as a team. Oh yeah, and see Greg rip down some rims for the first time in this league since Shaq!
 
Agreed on the Oden Dunks.

I'm also super excited to see a Bayless/Roy backcourt
 
Man are you kidding me? The first time he gets the ball in the post on opening night against the FAKERS! I hope he spins baseline on Bynum and rips the rim down! National TNT game! 30 minute delay! We win the game! And my 'Zers are the talk of the league!

If he rips the rim down, I'm storming the court.
 
I want to see Oden healthy and I want to see that he's worth all the hype he's received for the past several years.

He's been a dream for so many Blazers fans for so many years that it'll be amazing to see him actually suit up and play for us.

I of course want to see other things, too (Bayless and Rudy, how the small forward spot shakes out, us make a playoff run) but while those other things are exciting I think that Oden is a once-in-a-generation player and I'm most excited about him.

Ed O.
 
Continual and prolonged decimation of the Lakers. Anything less than total domination will be a letdown.
 
I'm really looking forward to Oden playing that first real game against the Lakers. I'm hoping he starts out great but If not I will be happy just to see him playing. I was really looking forward last year before he was injured buy I still ended up enjoying the season more then any since the 90's teams of Drexler/Porter/Kersey etc.

I'm also really excited to see Bayless and Rudy play with Roy and LMA. It's going to be a great year.
 
Oden playing well and being healthy is a given.

I would like to see someone take over the hole spots on the team. I would like to see Webster finally earn and own the SF spot (or move over for Rudy)

Along the same lines, I would like to see a PG take hold of the starting job and look like a playoff PG. I would like to see Bayless do it because I think the starters need his juice.
 
Oden on offense. I am 100% certain his defense will be excellent, I am only 75% certain his offense will be great, at the NBA level. I want to see how he looks trying to score against NBA defenses.
 
Game 7 of the first round playoff series between the Lakers and Blazers. Blazers down by 15 with 7 minutes to go.

Blazers make huge comeback and cap with monster alley oop to Oden from Brandon Roy.

It will happen:ghoti:
 
The first regular game of the season. I would love to go into Staples and beat the Fake Show on national television.
 
I'm obviously looking forward to seeing Oden swat shots and slam down those mean dunks that he does.

But, I've been jocking Rudy for a couple years now and was stoked when we drafted him, even more ecstatic watching him tear up the Olympics and now I can't wait to see what kind of impact he's going to have on the league. I think the sky's the limit for him.
 
1. Oden

2. Rudy
3. Roy and Aldridge playing 75 games.
 
I've never seen a season where at least one highly anticipated player failed to impress. My guess is that this year it's Bayless.

Bayless seems like a great guy, but I just don't think he'll have a huge impact this year like the other 4.

Did Rudy play for Gonzaga or something? : )
 
Rudy looks like Borat!
