The Bulls Wednesday went back, officially, to being a losing team after a 106-103 overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers left the Bulls 23-24 on the season.

Unofficially, the Bulls just as quickly became a team in trouble with their energy depleted with the continuing foot problems of Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson and Derrick Rose, despite going for 30 …

The Bulls Tuesday in their first home game in more than two weeks were badly outplayed by the Los Angeles Clippers in losing 90-82. The Clippers made 11 steals and got seven blocks and shot 54 percent through the first three quarters to lead by 15.

It’s easy to forget the last time the Bulls lost after tearing through five consecutive above-.500 teams on the road, a first in NBA history.

But it’s a safe assumption that the players and Head Coach Vinny Del Negro haven’t forgotten. It was the Clippers, of course, who handed Chicago its second loss during the second game …

The Bulls have been good, winning a fifth consecutive road game Friday in New Orleans thanks to 26 points from Luol Deng, 18 points from Derrick Rose and 13 points and 18 rebounds from Joakim Noah.

And they’ve also been lucky, the Hornets with the game effectively won throwing the ball away with seven seconds to go. That enabled the …

They insisted they knew. Even when they were losing 35-point leads at home to bad teams, even when they were in a three game stretch of losing by 32 at home, then to the 1-19 Nets at home and then by 35 on the road. Even when their coach supposedly was being fired any day now and there were injuries …

The newest Bull, Devin Brown, is ready, willing and, he believes, able, but it may be a bit more time until he’s a regular for the Bulls.

We thought Jannero Pargo could provide at least some of that instant scoring. That hasn’t worked out. We thought Tyrus Thomas was the answer to it all, and when he returned …

And down the stretch when they were holding off the San Antonio Spurs, 98-93, for a third straight improbable …

I caught up with Aaron Gray Monday afternoon on his last day with the Bulls. He seemed happy.

“It will be a great thing,” said Gray.

Not that he was mad at the Bulls, but the third year center believes he’ll get a better chance to play now that he’s headed to the New Orleans Hornets for shooting guard Devin …

We know Vinny Del Negro is no huge fan of the end of his bench, but he may have to do some introductions when the Bulls play the San Antonio Spurs Monday.

Hello, Aaron Gray, Jannero Pargo, you down there?

It seems doubtful Joakim Noah, suffering with plantar fasciitis, will play. Plus, Derrick Rose left Monday’s shootaround early because of …
