CHA:WAS
90:89 OVR
83:94 OFF
92:84 DEF

Washington Scouting

PG Gilbert Arenas - 92 OVR - 25.2 ppg/6.5 rpg/6.9 apg - at 43.9% shooting, Arenas is having his "worst" shooting season since the 2009/10 season. A+ hands/B- inside/A- outside/A- defense.

SG Francisco Garcia - 71 OVR - 9.5 ppg - Garcia joins a roving band of below average shooting guards that Washington has trotted out there for the last 5 years.He's got a strained quad and is suffering pretty bad. Rashad McCants backs him up.

SF Caron Butler - 87 OVR - 19.5 ppg/6.5 rpg - B+ inside/A- outside/B+ perimeter D.

PF Antawn Jamison - 70 OVR - 8.5 ppg/7.0 rpg - Jamison continues to decline, he's 37 now and should retire very soon. This will be his first year scoring under 10 points/game since his rookie seasosn.

C Stefan Schumacher - 73 OVR - 2.9 ppg/9.4 rpg - 2011 1.13. He's starting to develop a bit, he improved 4 points to his overall rating after starting last year. He's a poor shooter and not a scorer, but he can rebound a bit(B+) and defend a bit.

79 OVR Randy Foye remains a happy bench player, scoring 16 points/game and getting 26 minutes/game. SF Will Richardson(2012 1.15) is rated 74 OVR and scoring 5 off the bench. He wants more minutes. McCants scores 8 points a game as a 70 rated SG too.

First Quarter

Charlotte 33
Washington 22

Mayo is on fire. He shoots 7-11, 3-6 from 3 and scores 20 in the quarter. Felton has 6 points/4 assists, Padgett 3. Arenas only scores 4 for Washington, Butler 4, Schumacher 4, backup SF Richardson 5. We went on two big runs this quarter, we opened up to a 17-6 lead before Washington scored 9 straight, and then pulled away again to lead by 11.

Second Quarter

Charlotte 54
Washington 48

Yeah, they aren't going away that easily. Mayo scores 9 more and has an amazing 29 point first half. Padgett 11 points/6 boards. No one else has more than 6. Butler has 12 points/6 boards/3 assists, McCants hit 3 3's. Arenas only has 4 points in 14 minutes, but as we see a lot of times in these games Arenas will likely wake up and go nuts in the 2nd half. Washington has a lot of good 3 point shooters and are hurting us any time our defense breaks down in the slightest.

Third Quarter

Charlotte 78
Washington 78

Washington has never gone ahead but they tied it up a few times and this has turned into a very exciting game. Mayo picks up 8 more but struggles a little more this quarter. He's now 15-27 for 37 points. Padgett has 14 points/9 boards and no one else is helping at all. Felton has 8 points/5 assists, Wallace 6 points/5 boards. Sparks has 7 boards but only 2 points. On the other side, Butler has 19 now, Arenas 13 points/6 assists after a 9 point 3rd quarter. McCants has 11, Jamison 10 points/7 boards. We're shooting 49%, Washington 46%. We have 44 points in the paint to just 34 for Washington, but Washington's bench has been quite productive with 24 points(just 11 bench points for us).

Fourth Quarter

10:00 to go - Washington scores the first 6 of the quarter before a Padgett dunk. We had our starteres all in but they're all going to need a little rest along the way. I sit Felton and Mayo and bring in Swanson and Lindsey. 84-80 Washington

6:20 to go - All the starters are back except for Wallace. Padgett got about 2 minutes rest, Mayo/Felton 4 minutes. Washington leads 90-86.

4:35 to go - Sparks gets us one bucket, Padgett two, Mayo a steal and we take the lead back 92-90.

3:30 to go - We're on an 8 point run and up 94-90. Sparks is pulling down everything, he has our last 4 rebounds in a row.

2:50 to go - 96-92, Sparks with a bucket, after being fairly invisible for 3 quartesr he is coming up big in the 4th.

2:00 to go - Washington gets a timeout after a Mayo jumper, its 100-94. We seem to be scoring with great reliability here.

1:35 to go - Foye with a 3 for Washington, Felton goes off a screen and hits a jumper from just inside the 3 point line for us. 102-97.

0:37 to go - We come up empty twice in a row but luck out big time on defense, Arenas misses two wide open three's in a row.

0:26 to go - Mismatch after a stop for Washington, Sparks is on Arenas.. Arenas works through the D easily and pops out for a 3 that is good this time. We lead 102-100.

0:08 to go - The game clock/shot clock difference was under 2 seconds which is when my own little house rule for "I'm not running down the shot clock" comes in. They doubleteam like crazy, I get Felton an open look as a result, but he misses. Washington reboudnds and calls a timeout.

Washington inbounds it to Foye, he ends up hitting Arenas but Arenas is well behind the 3 point line and misses a very long shot as time expires.

Charlotte 102
Washington 100

Mayo: 39 points
Padgett: 24 points/12 boards
Felton: 12 points/5 assists
Wallace: 8 points/6 boards
Sparks: 8 points/12 boards

Caron Butler is easily the player of the game for Washington with 25 points/8 boards/4 assists. Arenas ends up 18 points/7 assists on just 6-14 shooting. backup SF Richardson has 15, McCants 11, Jamison 10 points/9 boards.

We led for a lot of that game and seemed to always have a run in us when we needed it, but that ended up being a nailbiter at the end.
