I never said he could shut down Lebron, infact I said that theres not too many guys in the league who can guard and contain him.
This game was a back to back on the road for the Cavs, and thats a valid excuse for poor effort and off nights, that happens. Sometimes scheduling dictates wins and losses more than we think.

You actually said or implied in your first post that in the first Cavs-Bulls game that Deng was not guarding Lebron enough. This was absolutely not the case and I was at the game. I like Deng, a good solid player, and I don't have a problem with you saying he can 'Bron trouble as you can have any opinion you want but your reasoning was off in the first post. He was guarding Lebron a lot the first game
