The CSL

With the Dunk contest, 3 point shooting contest, and Rookie vs Sophomore game over, the stars showed off their skills with the main even in the All Star Game in Los Angeles at the Staples Center

The sub-matrix and strategies were set up as follows:

- Starters set to 28, Reserves set from 12-18 in the submatrix.
- Offensive Pace, OREB, DREB set to 10; Defensive Intensity, FCP, and Zone Defense set to 5 for both teams. Offensive Set was set to Standard.
- The Los Angeles Clippers represents the Western All Stars, Atlanta represents the Eastern All Stars.

The West started out hot taking a 7 point lead into the 1st quarter as KAT was dominating the Eastern big men in the paint. The East cut down the lead in the second quarter and took a 3 point lead led by a spark by Jabari Parker coming off the bench, but the West went into half with a 5 point lead. The 2nd half started with Paul George scoring 5 straight baskets for the West and bringing their lead up to a whopping 16 points, but the East stormed back to bring it within 6 with Kyrie Irving going off on the opposing guards. The 4th quarter went back and forth with both teams trading strikes. It ended with Damian Lillard and Paul George exchanging shot for shot, shrinking the Western lead to 2 points with under a minute remaining. Isaiah Taylor sunk 4 of 4 FTs in the final minute to clinch the 5 point win for the West and the current ASG crown!

Congratulations to Paul George of the Dallas Mavericks for winning MVP of the 2022 All Star Game!

Looked like a fun game to watch! Congrats to the western all stars, and PG13.

I blame this loss of Kawhi going 1 for 6. What a waste.

The west won, again?! No surprise, given we are the elite conference.

Pretty sure the East dominated the ASG last year.

Agreed, and I believe the home team won both times

Paul George MVP of the game ran All Star game, Paul George MVP of the CSL voted all star (how he wasnt a unanimous starter vote is insulting) and soon to be CSL MVP!

Also, this game showed how pathetic Austin is and why Faried should have been voted in instead. Faried looks forward to showing the league in the playoffs who is truly better between the two.

KP said take your bump and suck it. I don't need starter minutes.

Lol. Be careful what you wish for. Especially when it comes to Austin. You of all people should know that, or have you forgotten what he did to your team in the playoffs? He tore your team a new one so bad that Tim wrote an article about it.

Also, PG is a ball hog. 19 shots? Share the ball, loser. This game isn't about you.

He had to carry all of the chumps on that team. If he had quality players around him like Faried or Rose he would not have needed them.

We have upgraded our front court since then... I dont recall that has-been doing much on us last playoffs and he especially wont now with Faried hounding him.

He scored 24, but he also shot 8 of 19, which is not good. Especially in an ASG where next to no defense gets played.

For the record, I do think Faried should have made the ASG.

Hoping the stars align for a Phoenix/Dallas series

Loved Westbrook's contribution. 19 points in 18 minutes on 5 for 8 shooting.

I hope we get to enjoy the Phoenix Sacramento series first
