Zach LaVine does not appear to be pleased with head coach Jim Boylen lately.
During the Chicago Bulls’ narrow loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, cameras caught LaVine appearing to curse at Boylen from the court by saying ‘I have 40 f—ing points.’ Here is video of the incident.

This comes just two days after LaVine seemed to call out Boylen’s decision to call a late timeout while down double digits against the Phoenix Suns.
Indeed, LaVine erupted for 41 points against the Thunder, including 19 in the third quarter, so there were probably other Bulls more responsible for the loss. The 24-year-old’s beef with Boylen dates back to at least the early part of the season, so their relationship clearly isn’t the best right now.
