    KC catches up Luol, whose return from injury hasn't been very auspicious
    I always thought having Deng stand in the corner was the offense. But yeah, I guess I'm happy Deng is playing, but irritated that he always talks about how bad he feels.

    He hasn't played well since he came back. He got torched for a triple double by marcus williams. Paul Pierce went 12-17 for 28 against him. Turkoglu got 19 boards and Amir Johnson went 5-8 splitting time against him. And Gerald Wallace was 4-8 for 15 in only 24 minutes against him. He's playing on one leg. He played well in the cleveland game, but it's been downhill since then.

    I'm not sure why he'd want to talk about it though, especially since he has the most important defensive matchup in the series. I'm sure Cleveland knows and LBJ isn't the least bit worried about it, but Deng has played him very well in the past.

    The Bulls need some easy baskets to get some of the other (besides Rose) players rolling.

    Well, Deng did play very tough last night. That hit on the knee he took was really nasty looking. I just wish he came out and played like that all the time.
