If I told you that I played 100 games and “won by 0.5 points per game”, you wouldn’t understand quite what that means but you would at least assume I have a winning record, not a losing record.
This shows how easy it is to manipulate with statistics to spin whatever bullshit you want, because actually the Mavs are 27-37 (.422) without Luka all-time and 192-155 (.553) with Luka.
This mysterious “won by 0.2 points per game” must mean he took the average margin of defeat and subtracted it from the average margin of victory. Or he took all of the points scored, subtracted all of the points given up and divided it by the number of games. Which obviously shows absolutely nothing.

For context, this is not me trying to make any statistical argument. This is me trying to make fun of this dumbass twitter thread
