The Bulls did all that even though they were missing one of their best players in Deng, who was injured Saturday and might miss a few more games. Thibodeau said Deng is day to day and didn't completely rule out surgery even though the coach doesn't think it will be necessary.
He said Deng is "still consulting some doctors." Losing him for an extended period would be a big blow even though the Bulls believe they have the depth to withstand injuries.
"It's tough to see him hurt like that," Noah said. "We know that we need Lu to be right."

On theother hand, the Bulls' offensive numbers are through the roof with Hamilton onthe floor, scoring115.19 per 100 possessions in over 224 minutes, compared to 104.04 in justunder 640 minutes -- for aplus-1.15 net rating. He's averaging 14.2 PPG, 3.9 APG, shooting a .531eFG% in nine games this season.
SLAM: How do you approach practice every day? In some ways, are your goals as a player more focused on helping the guys in front of you get better?
BS: Yeah a little bit, for sure. It’s all about the goal of guys getting better. But practice isn’t like a marathon for me to do that, I don’t have to play Omer to 21 or something like that. It’s more like two or three possessions, going bang, bang, bang, those types of things, and competing. I’m willing to help every player on the Bulls, but my focus is really on wanting to help the bigs keep getting better. I want to help them understand defensively what we want to do on pick-and-rolls for example, and offensively getting into the paint, or setting the screen, being ready to go up strong, getting the ball in the post, that sort of thing. Those are the things I work on with guys at practice. And I’m not saying I know how to do everything either, and even right now with Derrick sitting on the sidelines, he’s been showing me different things about how guards are, about how to guard certain guys, you can’t do this, you don’t want to do that, and I’m just always trying to learn more about the game every day. Along with that, I’m also trying to pass on the things I already know from being with Tom for five years to our bigs.

As we suspected, Deng has a torn ligament in left wrist, won't have surgery. Thibs called him "week-to-week," said "he'll be out a while."
