History Alert: LaVine with 39 at halftime

[Leslie Forman]

If anyone calls Lavine the worst defender, they don't know jack **** about basketball or have not watched Lavine all year long.
He is not a lock down defender (but he had his moments) but he is atleast an average defender. Helds his own, moves his feet really well and also has gotten a ton better on off ball help defense - even with Billy is one of the worst defensive coach.

It's fair to defend Zach from the "EMPTY STATS!!!!!" crowd, but come on. You don't have to just start making stuff up now.

yep i argued lavine lost more games when he had 40+ he shouldnt look to score more. I have never seen such a player where he scores more team always loses. the biggest mystery on earth. like is there anyone that can explain this objectively I couldnt figure out for yrs?
And the funny thing is the team winning % was close to 30% in previous yrs with Bulls when scoring more than 30.

So, wait...

This means LaVine has scored 30 or more 21 times, and in those 21 games, the Bulls are one game under .500 (.476).

The Bulls are 22-29 overall. So subtract the 21 games where LaVine scored at least 30 and in the remaining 30 games, they are 12-18 (.400).

So that tells me the Bulls have been 19% (76/400 = x/100) more likely to win when LaVine scores 30 or more points.

Was that the point of the tweet?

I simply posted a stat, young man. What you take away from it is up to you.
