What’s the buzz on Twitter?
I also believe that De’Aaron Fox and Anthony Edwards were more worthy of All Star berths instead of Paul George – 10:11 PM
Clocking in for the night shift.

Asked T Lue and Bud about the opposing defenses tonight. So many similarities:
– Opp. TO%: (LAC 25th, MIL 30th)
– 3s allowed (LAC 13th, MIL 10th)
– Opp. FTAr (LAC 8th, MIL 2nd)
– Defensive rebounding (LAC 6th, MIL 2nd)
– Paint points allowed (LAC 16th, MIL 13th) pic.twitter.com/O8WfQs8HHa – 9:57 PM
T Lue on 8x All-Star Paul George: “He’s an elite player, and so it’s not like he has to take a back seat to anyone. Him and Kawhi, they’re both right here, 1A, 1B, 1-1, whatever you want to call it. Just play your game, be aggressive.” pic.twitter.com/tj6fwJl37z – 9:51 PM
A lot to dissect here from T Lue pregame as far as personnel. Here are the basics:
– Marcus Morris Sr. is the starter
– John Wall out so team isn’t “full” yet
– T Mann has changed LAC defense
– No 3-guard lineups (and Norm/Reggie are locks, so Luke seems like odd guard out) pic.twitter.com/lNqvnZ3cHx – 9:44 PM
STARTERS 2/2

Kawhi Leonard

Jrue Holiday – 9:37 PM
Jrue recorded his 12th double-double on Tuesday already matching his total from last season.

LeBron James needs 63 points to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most points all-time. Based on his scoring average this season (30.1 PPG), he would pass Kareem on Feb. 9 against the Bucks. This is assuming he does not miss any games. @ESPNStatsInfo pic.twitter.com/5rMlXlUxwU – 9:35 PM
I might get crazy and stay up and watch Clippers-Bucks live.
Might. – 9:34 PM
Pat Connaughton continues to start for the #Bucks, and he joins all-stars Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo along with Grayson Allen and Brook Lopez. – 9:33 PM
LeBron James is now on pace to break the scoring record next Thursday against Milwaukee.
He needs 63 points to pass Kareem. He’s averaging 30.1.
That means, at that pace, he needs just over two games to do it. – 9:25 PM
Get the scoop on tonight’s Milwaukee matchup!

Jrue’s teammates had *mostly* nice things to say about Jrue getting his 2nd All-Star nod. pic.twitter.com/gyqm2wIAnz – 9:14 PM
The Bucks had another dominating third quarter as they pulled away to beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 137-113 on February 6, 2022.

For accountability here were my NBA All-Star picks:
Eastern Conference
Bam Adebayo
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jaylen Brown
DeMar DeRozan
Kevin Durant
Joel Embiid
Tyrese Haliburton
James Harden
Kyrie Irving
Donovan Mitchell
Pascal Siakam
Jayson Tatum – 8:42 PM
Asked how he’ll navigate avoiding the three-guard reserve lineups with Luke Kennard back coming off the bench, Ty Lue said that the staff has “had their conversations” with the players and left it at that. So, wait and see tonight. – 8:40 PM
One more All-Star note: I believe Jrue Holiday (last selected in 2013) just set a new record for longest time between All-Star selections – 8:37 PM
Lauri Markkanen on watching the All-Star results: “When they announced Paul George, it was kind of a nervewracking moment… I knew the guys that I was competing against for those spots.” – 8:35 PM
Probably late to this party, but hard to figure why Trae Young isn’t on the East all-star team. Played a lot of games and the numbers are pretty fantastic. Paul George missed a lot more games, but made it in the West. – 8:27 PM
Jrue Holiday goes 10 years between All-Star appearances. Checking now to see if that’s some sort of record … – 8:13 PM
People have asked what Kawhi on tonight
Same as every other night Pinky pic.twitter.com/dfgGVb2Fae – 8:12 PM
Prediction for the 2023 #NBAAllStar Game
Team LeBron:
James, Curry, Doncic, Tatum, Mitchell
Morant, Brown, George, SGA, Sabonis, Haliburton, Randle
Team Giannis
Antetokounmpo, Durant, Jokic, Irving, Williamson
Lillard, Embiid, Holiday, Adebayo, Markkanen, Jackson jr, DeRozan – 7:59 PM
Anthony Edwards should have made it. So should De’Aaron Fox. And Jimmy Butler. And Kawhi Leonard. And James Harden. And Pascal Siakam. And Jalen Brunson. And Aaron Gordon. And Paolo Banchero.
Problem is, so should the 24 guys who got picked. – 7:53 PM
Thank you #ClipperNation for all the love and support!

The Western Conference All-Star reserves, as announced on TNT: Morant, Sabonis
SGA, Paul George, Lillard, Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr.
Anthony Davis, who is having a strong season but has missed 24 of the Lakers’ 53 games because of injury, did not make the team. – 7:49 PM
4th season with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George as Clippers together.
Here is how All-Star selection has gone
2019-20: Just Kawhi (All-Star MVP)
2020-21: Both (Kawhi start, PG reserve)
2021-22: Neither (Kawhi ACL, PG UCL)
2022-23: Just PG – 7:44 PM
Paul George was selected as a reserve on the Western Conference All-Star team. It’s his with All-Star appearance and second with the Clippers. He is averaging 23.3 pts/6.1 rebs/5.4 asst/1.5 steals this season.#NBAAllStar – 7:44 PM
Paul George being an 8x All-Star is a major accomplishment.
He could easily be an 11x All-Star.
He came back to play in 2014-15 season less than 8 months after a compound fracture in his leg.
His first Clippers season was delayed by shoulder surgeries.
Last year, the elbow. – 7:41 PM
Ladies and gentlemen…Your 2023 #NBAAllStar, PG-13 pic.twitter.com/NsIBL7M1vA – 7:39 PM
I don’t understand why coaches selected Paul George over De’Aaron Fox or Anthony Edwards for an All-Star reserve spot. Fox and Edwards have posted better numbers and they’re the engine of their teams. – 7:32 PM
Paul George is a better player than Aaron Gordon.
This season Aaron Gordon was more worthy of All-Star. – 7:31 PM
In terms of basic box score stats, the only areas that DeMar DeRozan was better than James Harden were games played, 2p %, and turnovers per game.
For Jrue Holiday, it was games played, FG%, and 2p%. – 7:30 PM
The Clippers acquired Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s draft rights in the 2018 draft.
The previous draft where Clippers selected an All-Star: 2009 (Blake Griffin).
Draft before that: 2008 (DeAndre Jordan)
Draft before that: 2003 (Chris Kaman) – 7:29 PM
I don’t think there were any especially egregious All-Star snubs this year.
I would’ve had Harden in over Jrue. I probably would’ve had Anthony Davis over Jaren Jackson. But there’s nothing that’s blatantly wrong. Just a difference in taste. – 7:29 PM
Paul George played 37 games, Jaren Jackson Jr. 35. Guess Anthony Edwards (54 games,) De’Aaron Fox (47 games) and Aaron Gordon (46 games) should have load managed more. – 7:28 PM
The Western Conference All-Star reserves, as announced on TNT: Morant, Sabonis

I am surprised that James Harden didn’t make the All-Star game. 21, 11, and 6 and shooting 39.4% from deep. That’s All-Star worthy.
However, DeMar DeRozan and Jrue Holiday have been having some really good seasons as well. There’s always the “this guy should’ve made it” debate. – 7:22 PM
Western Conference All-Star reserves are Damian Lillard, Ja Morant, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lauri Markkanen, Domantas Sabonis, Paul George, and Jaren Jackson Jr. – 7:22 PM

Whoa Paul George made it…
That’s a little unexpected, but had a better chance than Kawhi due to games missed. – 7:18 PM
Grayson Allen was right.
“The East is really good this year and we’ve been floating in that second range; you don’t do that in a tough conference without a couple of All-Stars on your team. And Jrue’s been consistent for us. He’s an All-Star.” – Allen theathletic.com/4102929/2023/0… – 7:18 PM
See you soon, Utah 🤩
Paul George has been selected to his 8th All-Star Game!
