What happened to Lauri? I bought the hype early and haven't heard much in the seasons since.
I would say it's more about unrealistic expectations than on court production. After a decent rookie season, especially in a big market, ppl seem to expect substantial linear growth. That hasn't happened with him - his numbers have stayed relatively steady. But why? It doesn't appear to be a case of more usage, less efficiency. His usage has stayed steady, too, and his efficiency has actually ticked up (61% TS vs 55% as a rookie). I don't think that necessarily means he can be a star with more usage, but I do think he may be getting undervalued as he nears FA.
It's the injury concerns with him too. He's never been able to stay on the court which is a red flag for a player looking to get paid.
Yeah I'm sure there's another side to the story from the Bulls P.O.V as to why they haven't invested more usage in him (e.g. in and out of the lineup, lack of motor, Lavine's improvement, etc). I honesty haven't watched him play a whole lot - was just delving into his numbers.

The lack of a real crowd really hurts the experience I find.
I was watching the game where we hit the gamewinner...and I was thinking...isn't that such a hype moment...that was a walk off buzzer beater right??..but it just didn't feel like much.

Yeah, NBA is just boring without the crowd. I barley even watch non-raptor games these days.

If the Bulls don't win this they should vacate one of their titles.

With Bembry's suspension, are we even going to be able to dress enough players?

With only 8 guys, I’d be super aggressive with the fouling. Just for the fun of seeing a guy with 6 fouls have to keep playing and every foul be a tech. This season is so full of **** anyway might as well make the game a **** show.

Nurse should put Masai in at centre for not giving him a real centre.
