Let’s take a momentary break from fake basketball to focus a bit on Razzball’s real basketball predictions for the 2011 season. I’m of two minds about making preseason predictions about the league on a grand scale. If I’m wrong, I’ve voluntarily published my wrongness for anyone to see.

Wait! Before you name your fantasy basketball team the “Lob City Clippers*,” just know that I’ve already seen three fantasy owners name their team this and it’s only been 48 hours since Blake Griffin said it!

Remember when Han Solo was thawed from the carbonite freeze? Or when Cameron dropped the shocked-coma act in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?” Or how ’bout when R.P. McMurphy pretended to have been labotomized all to hell (before actually being lobotomized all to hell?) in Cuckoo’s Nest.

Well … just when I was getting jazzed about Roger Mason Jr. admitting his Twitter wasn’t hacked, Chris Kaman claiming he had inside information that we’d get a full season, the amnesty consensus among owners, Capitol Hill’s slow but sure involvement and perhaps even the player’s most powerful agents conspiring in the background, everything seemed to be moving forward – maybe, possibly.

Firstly, Raise a glass (or a highball if you’re reading this in the offices of Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Price) in honor of Razzball Basketball, which turns a year old today. It’s been a long ride. It’s been approximately 365 days – which I think everyone can agree is a long time to be a-ridin’.
