Luol Deng still has not joined his Bulls teammates and will be out for Monday night's Game 1 against the Heat due to these pretty scary complications from a spinal tap procedure that went a bit haywire. After being released from the hospital on Saturday, he returned to the ER on Sunday morning and it's unclear if and when he'll fly to Miami. Not having Lu against the Heat stinks, because it's one less great defender to throw at LeBron James. Yes, James has had plenty of success against Deng over the course of his career, but Lu does make LeBron work. Jimmy Butler will now take on the primary assignment, and while I have no doubts that Jimmy will play his butt off, guarding LeBron full-time will likely limit effectiveness on the other end. Plus, other matchups get thrown off with Deng out of the lineup.
