It was a revealing scene Wednesday in the Bulls locker room before the last game before the All Star break.

The Bulls final game before the All-Star break Wednesday ended with just over nine minutes left in the first quarter with the Orlando Magic leading 9-3 on the way to a 107-87 victory.
The Bulls are holding their breath their season didn’t end at that moment.

You watch a game like Friday’s Atlanta Hawks 91-81 win over the Bulls and you wonder what the Bulls would be like if they had Josh Smith, the rangy, 6-9 athletic power forward who doesn’t have much of a shot, but dominated the game with a triple double with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

Say it ain’t so, Jo.
Joakim Noah, arguably the Bulls most consistent player this season and the unofficial team spirit as the NBA’s No. 3 rebounder, was sent home Thursday from the Bulls road trip in Atlanta and will miss at least the next four games through the All Star break because of his plantar fasciitis.
“We’re shutting him down,” …

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 Clippers made 11 steals and got seven blocks and shot 54 percent through the first three quarters to lead by 15. The Clippers made Derrick Rose look bad with aggressive trapping and Rose shot seven …
