Yes, all the sideshow events are over and it's time for the actual NBA All-Star game itself. The NBA site has full coverage with reports from sidelines analysts, photos from the last pre-game practice, memories of past All-Star games, and apparently even a real-time fantasy game you can play.
So what's the starting time for tonight's game? All the ads and commercials list the starting time as 8 p.m. on TBS, but of course that means that the pre-game hype will start at 8. The actual game will probably tip off at 8:30.
Last year the West stomped the East by 21 points. The NBA is hoping for a closer game tonight. You can find a good article covering the starters and the reserves here.

Hammon Time! Becky Hammon Helps S.A. Win 2008 NBA Shooting Challenge
WNBA star guard Becky Hammon helped her three-person San Antonio team win the "shooting stars" contest at the 2008 NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans. The shooting stars contest features teams of three ballers from a city's teams battling each other in a timed shooting drill. Each team includes a current NBA player, a veteran NBA player, and a WNBA player.
The San Antonio shooting star team beat the Chicago team, which featured Chris Duhon, B.J. Armstrong, and Candice Dupree.
Becky Hammon, known for her three-point skills and fearless drives to the basket despite being just 5-foot-6, plays for the San Antonio Silver Stars of the WNBA. She was on the team with current Spurs All-Star Tim Duncan and his former teammate, retired center David Robinson.
Becky Hammon played eight seasons for the New York Liberty, where she immediately became a fan favorite for her scoring and hustle, before being traded to San Antonio before last season. You can still see many Liberty fans at Madison Square Garden wearing Hammon's number 25 jersey, and she got a rousing ovation the last time her San Antonio team visited the Garden for a game against the hometown Liberty.
In 2006 Hammon led the Liberty in scoring, averaging 14.7 points per game, and scored in double figures in 15 games. She also a .425 field-goal percentage and had one of the best free-throw shooting percentages at 96%.
