The Game Thread Dude
I normally avoid talking about my blog here because you guys read these posts to read about the Kings, not about my other pursuits. That said, in lieu of an actual game thread for tonight's game against the Pistons, I wrote about the three year anniversary of the 2011 Japanese Earthquake instead.

For those of you who don't know, I moved to Mito, the capital of Ibaraki prefecture in Japan at the end of last year. Located against the southern border of Fukushima prefecture, I've felt and witnessed the effects of the tsunami and earthquake far more than I ever thought I would.

While the media's eye has been drawn elsewhere, it's important to remember there are still millions suffering in northern Japan to this day.

So instead of a post bitching about the lack of passing on the team or Isaiah Thomas having another heroball meltdown, I decided to focus on real world problems for once. Sorry. Come the next game, I'll be back to my usual smarmy jackwagon ways.

Until then, this post about the third anniversary of 3/11 is all I have to say.

Maybe Brick can work in some kind of theme for tonight's grades that is related to this as well? Just a thought.
 
It really should not be hard to defend the Pistons just pack the paint
 
What on earth is wrong with Ben's hands? It happens over and over and this bobble was the most dramatic.
 
I think the announcers were right that IT's game has suffered because he is thinking too much but he is trying to do what the coach wants so why be critical. He is trying to share and that isn't his game? It's a bad fit for our starting lineup.
 
Always interesting to see a player get wide-open looks at the basket, because they're such a non-factor offensively, the other team doesn't even bother to guard him.
 
That sort of begs the question, why is McLemore guarding him in the first place? Isn't Smith supposed to be Gay's man? What the hell is he doing?

That too. I think it was a switch or he was picked up in transition both times, but I didn't rewind it back. It shouldn't be that easy for the Hawks to get a switch on us like that, but hey, if Smith wants to keep airballing jumpers i'm all for it.
