It has taken this guy a year to recover from knee surgery for as much as he us always nursing his knee.

It's completely different. I'm not sure if it's the same knee (I think it is), but I know the issues are different or so the team claims. Spo said last year the issue was structural. The issue this year is a "bone bruise." Edit: On the court, he's look much improved physically over last year. He could barely dunk last year in the playoffs. This year, even recently, he can dunk too handed just off a vertical leap.

And yes, he's playing.

The Bulls won't have enough guys on the roster to play as physical and foul the frick out of errbody like they did when they ended the streak.

I think the only way to match the speed and tenacity of the Heat is to beat the hell out of them. Get a few flagrant fouls, have a few big men foul out while punishing the Heat for going to the rim. Bulls don't have enough healthy guys to do it IMO.
