DEERFIELD, Ill.
Dan Hamhuis Team Canada Jersey . -- It
started with the flu, and turned into a hospital stay. There were terrible
headaches and weakness. Just walking was a chore. All at the worst time for Luol
Deng and the Chicago Bulls. The All-Star forward made an appearance at Chicagos
practice facility on Thursday, but it was clear from his drawn appearance and
measured tone that he might not be able to make it back in time to play in the
Bulls rugged post-season series against the Miami Heat. Looking for
reinforcements for its depleted roster, Chicago is going to have to wait a while
for Deng. "I dont know. I want to play, but I dont know what I can do," he said.
"I just, I havent done anything." Deng joined his teammates for the film session
covering Wednesday nights 115-78 drubbing by the Heat that evened the series
heading into Game 3 in Chicago on Friday night. He also got on the court and
took a few jumpers, but that was all he could handle. "Still day to day. Hes
feeling a little bit better," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "Well see tomorrow."
While Chicago was taking stock of its injuries -- Kirk Hinrich had a second MRI
on his injured left calf, and Derrick Rose was the "same," according to
Thibodeau -- Miami was bracing for the first game of the series at the United
Center. Its the Heats first trip to Chicago since a 101-97 loss on March 27
snapped their 27-game winning streak. "We know that they call it the Madhouse on
Madison for a reason," said Miami guard Dwyane Wade, a Chicago-area native. "The
fans are very loud. At the end of the day, once that settles down, its the game
of basketball and you have to execute your game plan. Its going to be the little
things that wins games for your team." The Heat did everything right in Game 2,
running away from the Bulls after a surprising 93-86 loss in the series opener
on Monday night. A 62-20 run was more than enough to wipe away the residue from
Miamis first playoff loss, and MVP LeBron James had only three points in the
tidal wave -- a scary statistic for Chicago, and theres more. The Game 2 blowout
was the 41st time that an NBA team won a playoff game by 35 or more points. In
the previous 40 occasions, the team on top of the blowout went on to win the
series 36 times. Its a good omen for Miami, but James knows firsthand how it can
turn around in a hurry. He was playing for Cleveland when the Cavaliers lost
108-72 to Washington in a 2008 playoff game and went on to win the series. "Its
just one game," he said. "Even though you got dominated the game before and you
didnt do things right, its still one game. You dont get two wins if you win by
over 30 or over 40. You only get one game. Theyre back in their home building,
where theyre very good and we have to be ready for it." It looks as if the Bulls
will be without Deng, Hinrich and Rose once again. Thibodeau said the team was
awaiting the results of the latest MRI for Hinrich, who hasnt played since Game
4 of Chicagos first-round playoff series against Brooklyn on April 27. Rose
hasnt played all year, but no one has ruled out what would be an emotional
return for the 2011 NBA MVP. Even with the depleted roster, the Bulls managed to
win Game 7 on the road against the Nets and then steal home-court advantage
against Miami. Bouncing back against the Heat could be a matter of just keeping
their cool after they were whistled for six of the nine technical fouls during
the emotional Game 2, leading to ejections for Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson. "We
got to do better. We got to do a much better job of that," Thibodeau said. "Cant
get sidetracked. We know how it will be called. Were not going to get calls. We
just got to be tough, mentally, physically, emotionally. We got to be a lot
stronger." Asked what he meant about not getting the calls, Thibodeau responded:
"Its just the way it is, you know. We didnt allow that to impact us in Game 1
and I thought we allowed it to impact us in Game 2." Deng watched Game 2 on TV,
and said he thought the Bulls let it get away from them. He said the trip to the
practice facility was his first time out of the house since a "scary" couple of
days. Deng became sick during the Brooklyn series, missing practice on May 1 and
Game 6 the next day. He felt so bad that he went to the hospital, where he had a
spinal tap to rule out meningitis. "After that, I just didnt respond well," he
said. "Started having severe headaches. Was struggling to walk. Started feeling
really weak. Started throwing up ... I couldnt control my body really, and
because of that I lost a lot of weight." Doctors recommended a blood patch to
help heal the damage from the spinal tap, and Deng had to stay in the hospital
for more than a day until his white blood cell count came down enough to allow
him to have the second procedure. He dropped about 15 pounds, but is feeling a
little better now and said hes proud of how the team has played without him.
"Guys are going out there and just playing together," he said. "Just seeing them
do it together is really the main thing. ... Watching it obviously is a lot
harder when youre not out there, but just seeing your teammates play that hard
and fighting together."
