<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Luol Deng saw his breakout season flash before his eyes Wednesday night after absorbing a flagrant foul from Heat forward James Posey and landing hard on his surgically repaired right wrist. Afterward, an extremely somber Deng was sporting a bloody lip and awaiting X-rays that eventually would reveal the Bulls' second-leading scorer had suffered a sprain. "I don't know what he was trying to do," Deng said. "I have to see the play again. I don't want to say anything bad. "I went up and I didn't really see him make an attempt for the ball." Posey has a history with the Bulls, earning a one-game suspension for a flagrant foul on Kirk Hinrich in last season's playoffs and breaking Tyrus Thomas' nose earlier this season. "I don't know if it's something he sets out before the game to do or not," Hinrich said. "It was a hard foul, obviously." Deng, who continued to play but was noticeably sore afterward, is averaging 17.3 points on 51.9 shooting after working hard on his game over the summer. Wrist surgery to repair torn ligaments in May 2005 cost him work that summer. "I worked hard all summer trying to strengthen my wrist," Deng said. "It's pretty stupid if I hurt it on a play like that." Posey left without speaking to reporters.</div>http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...bulls-headlines
I really like this kid, its too bad. He's a great defender. That play last night he had where he could have blocked it and instead just ripped it out of the air was amazing.

Whats the point of blocking it as hard as you can out of bounds, when you can just jump up and catch the ball? Sure blocking it 20 rows up pumps up the crowd, and your team, but you could just catch it and you can keep the ball. Instead when it goes out of bounds the other team still gets the ball back..
Well James Posey sure just screwed my fantasy team. Krstic out for the year...Pierce out a couple weeks...Posey's definitely one of my least favorite players.
