Luol Deng tribute video for his return to the United Center
Above was the tribute video (via) to Luol Deng played in the first half of the Bulls loss to the Heat. Sunday was Deng's first game in the United Center as a visitor, having being traded midseason last year to the Cavs and then signing as a free agent with Miami in the offseason. It's nice. Deng was the man. And, unsurprisingly, still is. As you can see near the end, he was all business as the video played (during a timeout), though ABC showed during the telecast Deng embracing both ex-teammates and people working in the building. Deng spoke about that earlier in the weekend: Obviously, I...

Five Stars: Heat 89, Pacers 87
Last night, the Heat faded fast in the fourth quarter, but stayed in it just enough to earn a win over the Pacers by two. I used the GameScore metric from www.basketball-reference.com to rank the best contributors from last night's contest. First Star Luol Deng (MIA) 19.3 Deng was far and away the most efficient and effective player on the floor last night for either team. He led all players with 35:08 on the floor and 23 points. He shot nine-of-13 overall, including a perfect three-for-three from outside and two-for-two from the stripe. He turned the ball over once and committed two...

Sluggish Heat climb back vs Hornets, fail to sustain in 78-76 loss
Miami managed to climb back from a double-digit deficit in the 4th quarter, but the well ran dry and they could not finish, falling back to six games under .500 The Miami Heat fell to the Hornets by a score of 78-76, a score indicative of how poorly both teams shot. It was a game Miami had no business being in, but they managed to eek out a two-point lead in the 4th quarter after falling behind by 11. Without Hassan Whiteside and Luol Deng, Miami cobbled together another new starting lineup, this one featuring Chris Andersen and Danny Granger as fill-ins. Suffice to say, it wasn't an...

Injury Update: Hassan Whiteside and Luol Deng OUT vs Charlotte Hornets
Neither Whiteside nor Deng traveled with the team to Charlotte. It was about the last thing you wanted to happen at this point in the season. The brightest glimmer of hope, Hassan Whiteside went down with an ankle injury in the second quarter last night against the Oklahoma City Thunder and didn't return. Whiteside was diagnosed with a Grade-1 ankle sprain. The Heat lost the game without Whiteside, who scored 10 points in the first quarter. The Heat left Miami last night to travel to Charlotte to take on the Hornets, and Hassan did not go with them. Likewise, Luol Deng also stayed back....
