LeBron James had a very bad game in the Miami Heat's Game 1 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night, shooting just 5 of 15 for 15 points. That game was three days ago. Now, James has made clear to reporters that he was battling a cold then and is still struggling with it prior to Wednesday's Game 2.
Heat Vs. Bulls, Game 2: LeBron James Still Dealing With A Cold
With temperatures in the 50s, unseasonable even for Chicago, since the Heat's arrival, James said he has been dealing with a cold even prior to Sunday's 103-82 Game 1 loss. He shot an uncharacteristic 5 of 15 in that game, for 15 points,
"I'm taking everything you can get from 7-Eleven," he told reporters Wednesday morning. "I've been sick since we got here."
James spoke in a “nasal tone” at Wednesday’s shootaround, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. It seems hard to believe that he would be dramatically affected in Game 2, but you never know, I guess.
