Charlotte(32-39) at Miami(33-37)


CHA:MIA
87:83 OVR
78:81 OFF
90:76 DEF

Miami Scouting

PG Carlos Arroyo - 63 OVR - 6.5 ppg/2.9 apg - Only playing due to an ACL tear for Mario Chalmers. A huge weak spot, B+ hands and noting else even close. Maybe Felton can have a good game here?

SG Dwyane Wade - 98 OVR - 26.1 ppg/8.2 apg - A+ hands, A- inside, A outisde, A- defender, true superstar obviously.

SF Ben Sloan - 75 OVR - 8.2 ppg/4.9 rpg - 2011 pick 1.3 by Milwaukee, traded to Miami this season. Only 21, assuming he develops well he should be one of those mid-level star types by his mid-late 20s. Right now he's really just average everywhere, B- inside, everything else is a C+/C-

PF Troy Murphy - 72 OVR - 8.5 ppg/8.6 rpg - From Indiana to Miami to Oklahoma City back to Miami in the last few years. 32 years old now, A- rebounder, B- insdie/B+ outside. Poor defense that I will try to take advantage of with Padgett.

C Jermaine O'Neal - 74 OVR - 10.8 ppg/7.7 rpg - 34 years old, he hasn't been anywhere near 20 points/game since 2007 with Indiana. He's only average on the glass, B defense, B+ inside. Still a decent option.


backup center Charlie Galloway is rated 71 OVR (2010 pick 1.15) and scores 4 and grabs 5 boards off the bench. Richard Jefferson is a role player here with serious morale issues. He's averaging 10 points a game but real unhappy with his minutes.

It seems that Wade shoudl dominate the Wade/Mayo matchup, but that we have an edge at PG, SF and PF and hopefully get big games from Felton, Wallace, and/or Padgett.


First Quarter

Charlotte 29
Miami 29

SAMUEL PADGETT. Miami went out to a fast 7-0 start before Padgett scored 5 in a row and started to warm up. At the 7:09 mark Padgett hit a layup, and for the next 6 1/2 minutes Padgett scored all of our points, 15 in total. Sparks hit a couple free throws with 30 seconds left in the quarter to end that little run. Padgett 20, Felton 3, Sparks, Mayo, Wallace 2 each. Wade has 11 for Miami, O'Neal 6, Jefferson 5. Wallace and Sloan(Miami's SF) each picked up 2 fouls midway through the quarter and sat.


Second Quarter

Charlotte 56
Miami 46

Just a great quarter, we rushed out to an 11 point lead early in the quarter and don't let up. Padgett ends the half with 24 points/3 rebounds, he sat midway through the second to get some rest. Mayo hit a few shots and now has 8. Wallace 6, Vujacic 5, Sparks 4, Felton 3. Wade played PG most of the quarter and didn't score but now has 4 assists. Jermaine O'Neal has 12 points/8 boards. Sloan 7 and Jefferson 5.

Mainly we just hit everything we shot this quarter.

Third Quarter

Charlotte 87
Miami 73

After only scoring 4 in the 2nd, Padgett comes up huge again, he has a 17 point quarter and has 41 after only three! He's shooting 15-22 from the floor and has 11 free throws. Mayo has 17, no one else on the team has more than 6. Wade has 17, O'Neal 14, Sloan 9 for the Heat. They just cannot hang with our offense at all.

Fourth Quarter

8:00 to go - FIFTY!!! Padgett is still rolling, Troy Murphy just can't even come close to containing him. we lead 99-81, PAdgett has 51 now.

6:00 to go - I pull my starters for now, mostly b/c they need rest but also hopefully to keep them out for good. We lead 102-86.

3:40 to go - Wade scores 6 of 8 for Miami and cut the lead down to 12, its 106-94. We take a timeout and get some starters back in.


Miami doesn't get the lead down under 10 until there are 40 seconds left. They score once more and we win by 7 with relative ease.


Charlotte 109
Miami 102


Padgett: 54 points/9 boards
Mayo: 19 points
Sparks: 9 points/10 boards
Wallace: 6 points/7 boards
Felton: 6 points/6 assists
Vujacic: 5 points
Hill: 5 points

Sparks and Chandler are pretty much splitting minutes at this point, and Sparks seems to be doing better much of the time.


Wade does everything he can in the 4th but their defense just couldn't keep up. Wade scores 30 and has 8 assists(13 4th quarter points). O'Neal has 16 points/14 boards, Murphy 16 points/10 boards, and Arroyo 10 points

This win will make the playoff race ridiculously exciting for the next week or two. Our schedule gets pretty tough tho so we may fall right back off pace.
