"We'll see how I'm coasting. You'll see the numbers I'll put up on Wednesday" -Lebron

[oarabbus]

Anyone got the insider hookup?



With two days off this weekend and a refreshing visit to the White House on Tuesday, James promises we'll see a different James against the 17-19 Washington Wizards. "We'll see Wednesday how I'm coasting," James said jokingly as he made his way into the Heat locker room on Monday. "You'll see the numbers I'll put up on Wednesday. Just watch."

http://www.bulletsforever.com/2014/1/15/5311036/lebron-on-accusations-that-hes-been-coasting-this-season

So what's Lebron gonna put up tonight?

[Solefade]

inb4 21-5-5 on 10/25

[AbeVigodaLive]

Wait.

So if he puts up insane numbers... wouldn't that give the "coasting" talk more credibility?

[oarabbus]

Wait.

So if he puts up insane numbers... wouldn't that give the "coasting" talk more credibility?


Yes. I don't think he thought that statement through. Seems he meant to actually say "oh you think I don't got it anymore?"


inb4 21-5-5 on 10/25

:lol that would be great but more like 10/18

[leMVP]

35-14-8 on 52%

[Andy Hug]

I like Lebron but c'mon, my raps would smash the Wizards.

[SpecialQue]

Wait.

So if he puts up insane numbers... wouldn't that give the "coasting" talk more credibility?

Yeah, this makes zero sense. So he's going to turn it up and have a monster game...to prove that this is what he has in fact been doing all season long? Or is he just saying that the numbers he puts up on Wednesday are going to be consistent with what he's been putting up during the last few games?

[LeBron 06]

LeBron scored at least 30 points in the last 4 games

Where is the problem?

[Lebron23]

Leserious. No More Lecoasting.

[SpecialQue]

LeBron scored at least 30 points in the last 4 games

Where is the problem?

Ask Lebron. He's the one who made this statement.

[pauk]

That just means he will probably take more than 15-16 FGA... even in his rookie he averaged 3 more FGA.... he is coasting like hell...

[rip2]

This dumbass.. should have shut his mouth. If he drops a big game, that just shows how he's been coasting, and how stacked his team is.

However, I'm putting my money on him dropping a 2011-ish game :lol

[Lebron23]

LeBron scored at least 30 points in the last 4 games

Where is the problem?


I think People wants him to score over 40 points per game.

[LeBron 06]

Yes. I don't think he thought that statement through. Seems he meant to actually say "oh you think I don't got it anymore?"






This

[Bandito]

That just means he will probably take more than 15-16 FGA... even in his rookie he averaged 3 more FGA.... he is coasting like hell...
For the good of the team he should try to average that many FGA. This team doesn't need him to dominate at all, unless it is needed of course.

[AbeVigodaLive]

Whoa. James getting all meta deep on us.

Here comes a 26 / 7 / 8 / 60% game...

[Odinn]

I guess he thinks the Wizards are the toughest team in the league? Or what?

It's such a shame that seeing him like this. He's on his way to being 2011 LeBron with these kinda BS going a while.

[pauk]

For the good of the team he should try to average that many FGA. This team doesn't need him to dominate at all, unless it is needed of course.

True, but not fun though.... :P

Need the playoffs to start asap.

[tpols]

That just means he will probably take more than 15-16 FGA... even in his rookie he averaged 3 more FGA.... he is coasting like hell...
If he shoots 3+ more times he wont shoot close to what hes shooting now though.. either hes aggressive and scores more on lower Fg or he picks and chooses the most opportune 10-15 shots he possibly can per game and puts up high efficiency.. Wouldnt call what hes doing coasting.. just cherrypickin

Im gonna guess 21/8/7 on a very careful 7 for 9 shooting w/ a 40 PER and 3 well placed flops

[JUDGE WITNESS]

damn i feel bad for the wiz i actually like them

[Lebron23]

Heat are actually playing good basketball against 0.500 and above NBA teams. They were beaten by weaker teams, but they beat quality teams.


11-2 vs. 0.500 and above teams
16-8 vs. below 0.500 teams

[Lebron23]

damn i feel bad for the wiz i actually like them


I like John Wall, but the Heat are going to destroy them.

Lebron's got Charlie Kaufmann writing his statements now. :biggums:

11-2 vs. 0.500 and above teams

Classical signs of coasting.

Let's be honest LeBron is a top 10 player already and is by far the best player in the league. Clearly coasting.

[Alan Ogg]

So he means he's going to put up coasting numbers.

[oarabbus]

Trevor Ariza be scurrrrred :lol

[ralph_i_el]

**** Lebron he's gonna choke so hard on some Zard dick

[Milbuck]

[NumberSix]

Wait.

So if he puts up insane numbers... wouldn't that give the "coasting" talk more credibility?
You act like the fact that he's coasting is some kind of dirty secret.

[IncarceratedBob]

when does coasting becoming decline? i hate this excuse. everyone said the same about shaq in miami, he's just coasting and then one year, he was all but done.

[215Philly]

Won't get 30-5-5 doe :coleman:

[LeBron 06]

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 3m
As a Cavalier, LeBron put up at least 20 FGA in 61.3% of games he played. In Miami, he has done so in 36.4% of his games.

....

[ArbitraryWater]

I'm saying 40+ pts... not sure about 50 yet

[Solefade]

LeBron scored at least 30 points in the last 4 games

Where is the problem?


lebron being held to an unreasonably high standard...what else is new?

[edrick]

You guys are looking at this the wrong way. Lebron is going to show us what true coasting looks like. expect 10-3-1.

See the numbers I put up Wed??? That basically means he is acknowledging the coasting statement lol.

[#number6ix#]

The article did saying "jokingly"... I think LeBron is gonna have average game tonight

[KungFuJoe]

It's just LeBron's overly sensitive, beta mentality coming out. I'm surprised he didn't break out in tears and just cut the interview off right there and then.

[Sarcastic]

I'm expecting 100/100/100.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Coasting is a bad word. Conserving. Which is smart on the entire Heat's team part, LeBron included. They're attempting to go to their 4th straight championship. That's extremely difficult. He's compartmentalizing his energy. That's called strategy. He'll come out and have an average game. He hasn't had a real motivated game on an individual level since the 2012 playoffs. Last time he dropped 50 was on Orlando in 2011 when he was playing angry.

Nah, it's not that accurate because Ariza obviously isn't guarding him the entire time in all those games but...

Lebron scores less and at lower FG%. Way more turnovers, but he still gets a ton of boards and assists. I would say Ariza does better than your average Lebron defender.

[Kingwillball]

Lebron gets 30 by the end of the 3rd tonight and barely plays or sits the whole 4th as the Heat Cruise to victory.. 30,8,8

Yeah expect Bron bron to come out and only take 15 shots as usual

[SamuraiSWISH]

:roll: this dude already making preemptive excuses for why Lebron never gonna reach 60 points
To be fair, it's never been his mentality to go out and do that. He has the ability, specifically against below average teams in meaningless regular season games. 50 or 60 in the playoffs is way more impressive.

[edrick]

:roll: this dude already making preemptive excuses for why Lebron never gonna reach 60 points

How do you expect Lebron to reach 60 points on 20 shots or less? He's not Durant or Harden.

[TheMarkMadsen]

pretty ballsy to make this statement against the 17-19 Wizards :lol

[ispin69]

His haters always take the bait, they never learn. Even if he scores 200 pts, they will still hate. He should come out and score only 5 pts so his haters go wild. 10 threads with 20 pages of replies just about this one reg season game. Who got trolled?

haha word

[Dave3]

Every time he wants to have a big game, he scores a bunch in the 1st, barely does anything in the 2nd, adds a little more in the 3rd, and usually doesn't do much in the 4th (when the game is already decided).

Prediction:
13 points in the 1st
5 points in the 2nd
11 points in the 3rd
4 points in the 4th

33 points on like 11/18 or something.

He's very unlikely to score 35, let alone 40 lol. He doesn't do that anymore

[oh the horror]

pretty ballsy to make this statement against the 17-19 Wizards :lol



No kidding.

[Prometheus]

this is an unexpected move from mr. james. the thing that bothers me most about him is that he's so non-confrontational. he's the kind of guy I'd expect to think to himself "oh they think I'm coasting? f*ck em i'll put up mvp numbers tonight" but outwardly he rarely acknowledges personal challenges. and yeah coming out and saying what he said does no good either way. either he puts up crappy numbers and looks like a fool for opening his mouth, or he lives up to his word, puts up great numbers, and validates the coasting talk. shoulda gone to college there genius

Children around the world are trolling/mocking LeBron as we speak. That's waaaay worse than anything ever said about him on this site. Maybe you should make a "LEAVE LEBRON ALONE!!!" video if you want the kids to listen.


Do it for LeBron. He needs you more than ever right now. :(

[SamuraiSWISH]

pretty ballsy to make this statement against the 17-19 Wizards :lol
Like scoring 81 points on the 2006, 27-55 Toronto Raptors. Or 71 points on the 1995, 17-65 LA Clippers. Right?

[TheMarkMadsen]

Like scoring 81 points on the 2006, 27-55 Toronto Raptors. Or 71 points on the 17-65 LA Clippers. Right?


Did he come out and say "ima score 81" or did he go into the locker room down at half, come out in the 3rd down 71-53 to then rally off 51 points to lead his team to victory?

big difference between that and making some half ass comment about the stats you're gonna put up when your stacked championship team faces a bottom feeder in the worst conference in the league..

[SamuraiSWISH]

Did he come out and say "ima score 81" or did he go into the locker room down at half, come out in the 3rd down 71-53 to then rally off 51 points to lead his team to victory?
By the time Kobe got in the late 60s, the game was in hand for LA and he was getting enough defensive attention by that point to get his teammates involved. He was in the selfish zone. Come on, who are you kidding?

That's why his teammates looked so un-enthused about the whole thing as it was happening. Yes, Kobe's scoring prowess brought them back from a deficit. But you'd be lying if you didn't admit that at some point he could've used the attention he was getting as an opportunity to get others on his team involved with open looks.

The point was in multiple games Kobe went out and took advantage purposely of some really bad teams, scoring as much as he could:

2006 Raptors
2007 Grizzlies
2007 Hornets
2007 Timberwolves
2009 Knicks

He didn't announce it, but the agenda was kind of obvious given the mentality from the get go in many of those games. Especially given the total lack of playmaking or notches in the assists column.

LeBron's statement is dumb, I agree. But let's not act like Kobe hasn't purposely taken advantage of some really bad teams.

if you are arguing that kobe should have started passing the ball when he got to 60+ in the third quarter, then you obviously hate basketball and happiness. and if his teammates thought he should stop shooting, then f the whole lot of them. 81 points is worth chucking for.

now I wouldn't defend his chucking in most other situations though. all-time missed shot leader lolol

Where was I hyping up LeBron? I said his statement was dumb.

Kobe's 62 in 3 quarters against the 2006 Mavericks is arguably IMO his most impressive scoring game. Even though he was given a CRAP ton of free-throws that game.

That was the 2nd best team in the league in 2006. A very impressive performance in context from Kobe, more impressive than the 81. Had a good defender on him too. Not an ancient, no defense playing Jalen Rose.

Generally Kobe's high scoring games came against terrible opponents in meaningless regular season games.

[Prometheus]

catching feelings.

huh?

[Brokenbeat]

Stop being a F*cking P*ssy. You are probably mad at lebron because he won back to back NBA Finals MVP while your favorite NBA player's career is officially over.

On topic.


I love to see him score 50 points this season. He's averaging 29/6/5 this month.


And who is that? Lol, I dislike Kobe almost as much as LeBron. :hammerhead:

LeBron just happens to be a giant ******. He's better than Kobe, but Kobe did more with less (so people respect him for that). If LeBron didn't act like a giant ******, he'd be the GOAT. Easily. As of now, he's not - he's bitchmade and wasting his talent. Not my fault you idolize a weak minded individual that will never live up to his full potential because of it. :confusedshrug:

Seriously though, you guys need to get on those videos asap. LeBron's legacy is taking a massive hit, and it's these kids that will dictate said legacy. Not looking good if they're already making fun of him. :(

LeBron > Kobe, but the rest still stands. :cheers:


Edit: Btw, my only negs have come from Kobe stans, so maybe you should start paying attention.

i'd like to hear him say that too but the guy literally gets criticized with anything he says or does so i'm not surprised he took the more PC route.

[TheMarkMadsen]

KD shoots 3 more FGA then Lebron per game, if Lebron wants to shoot as much as KD why not take a few more shots per game..who's gonna complain about Lebron shooting more?

[chazzy]

He's very unlikely to score 35, let alone 40 lol. He doesn't do that anymore
Yeah he hasn't scored 40 in a non overtime game since 2012

Lebron is the best player of the Miami Heat, and the best player in this league.

Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Bill Russell had far better teams than Lebron in their entire NBA Career.

Even Mr. 11x NBA champion Bill Russell don't have any problems with Lebron playing for the Heat. He was a free agent. And Playing with wade and bosh is much better than playing with Varejao and Mo Williams.

[Dave3]

Yeah he hasn't scored 40 in a non overtime game since 2012
And only one 50 point game since joining Miami. Sucks as a fan watching, but it's what he chose for himself.

[Milbuck]

This is pretty much the perfect situation for him to pull off one of those classic MJ/Kobe/Giannis "watch this" moments. Plenty of rest, **** team, not an important matchup. I'll bet he's been planning this for a while. His confidence is impressive, but I'd rather he did it on whim like MJ/Kobe/Giannis would have.

[Legends66NBA7]

Why does James care about what numbers he's going to put up ? He should be better than this, he's got nothing to prove anymore in terms of accomplishments. The only stat he should be concerned about at this point in his career is a win for his basketball team.

Perhaps he's just hyped for a divisional opponent, but I doubt that. It could just be he was baited by the media, which seem to have worked. Oh well, just back it up and come out with a win.

Wtf are you on about? You didn't address a single thing I said, and instead, you went off on a tangent about these guys and their teams.

Your boy is soft, and it's so blatantly obvious, that even children see it plain as day (hence the mockery). Now he's shaking his fist talking about "I'LL SHOW YOU" like he's some sort of cartoon villain, lol. Just play to your potential LeBron, and people will stop making fun of you. Can you tell him that for me next time you talk to him? Thx.

[ballin33]

Ehh, he will have his average game I think. Scoring 40+ is just not in his nature anymore, and I don't think he could just do it out of no where because he is a rhythm player. Plus I think DWade is playing tonight, so LeBron is not gonna attempt as many shots.

Who cares about those videos?? I am sure is happy with his current situation. He's the 4th richest athlete in the world. and he's a 2x NBA Champion, 4x NBA MVP, and 2x finals MVP.

I have a weird feeling that Lebron let this happen on purpose... lead was at 34 points then fell to 20 real quick.

[Prometheus]

the only Miami player with a positive +/- in the first half...

Greg Oden.

interesting...

[nathanjizzle]

lebron seriously disappears in any pressure, even the ones he puts on himself.

[Prometheus]

lebron seriously disappears in any pressure, even the ones he puts on himself.

to be fair, he isn't playing particularly bad, just not that good either. they're losing because Washington is getting to the line and they're not, as well as washington shooting 355% from 3pt

You guys are looking at this the wrong way. Lebron is going to show us what true coasting looks like. expect 10-3-1.

I was right!

[Sarcastic]

If he can get 5 more points, he can at least get a 30-5-5 game and make Pauk happy.

Lebron has got to be one of the worst trash talkers in the history of the league, he's a great player but never seems capable of backing up his word

:oldlol:

[chazzy]

We are all witnesses

[Prometheus]

Miami does not look good this year. it will be a miracle if they somehow 3peat

[SyRyanYang]

25/8/7. Pauk shouldn't be too upset.

[longtime lurker]

LOL I love it. Lebron talks out of his ass and he ends up shitting the bed. He didn't even make 30-5-5 to make Pauk happy :(

[Uncle Drew]

25/8/7. Pauk shouldn't be too upset.
No 30-5-5 doe.

[Rodmantheman]

Heat are running out of gas three straight trips to the finals I doubt they will go this year.

^I only speak the truth

[BlackVVaves]

I don't even feel bad for the amount of trolling that's about to occur.

Bron put it on himself, and I was disenchanted by his comments on KD. I'll create a longer post on it somewhere tonight when I have time, but I truly believe LeBron made those assertions to impact the national projection of KD's season in comparison to LeBron's, with hopes of it slowing down the momentum of KD's MVP campaign.

Distasteful.

Yup, just LeBron trying to stay relevant to the media while Durant is flat out dominating

[kamil]

Is the media still slobbering all over LeBron* cack and trying to get him the Defensive Player of the Year award or have they finally realized the dude is a 2nd tier defender?

[HOoopCityJones]

This entire thing is news because he tried to Shizz all over KD.

Then couldn't back up the tough talk.

[Illuminati]

Happy that he didn't have a big game and hovered around his season average. No point in having incredible games in the regular season when no one will remember them. Save it for the playoffs, for when it matters most.

The Heat can't miss the forest for the trees, they should do just enough to get the 2nd seed and go rested to the playoffs.

With that said, even as a fan, LeBron should not have made the comments about being jealous over shooting 30 fg's a game... or that he was going to have a big night.

Let your game speak for you.

[Illuminati]

Man you are really hurt aren't you? It's ok, just admit he was bad tonight and be done with it

Partially agree, maybe he was Lelbron that night. Trolling the league.

[Joyner82reload]

You know how an old and dying Lion gathers up all his last strength he has left to do make one last desperate attack against a garbage team to try and prove to the world that the prime Lion has yet to surpass him and hasn't yet taken over his pride? That was LeBron tonight...he failed.

That was just sad to watch from LeBron and very surprising, totally uncalled for...... He wasnt even having a good season, but he sure wanted to take that time of talking to the media to downplay Durant and self-hype himself even more though its a completely useless thing to poke & annoy the fans and show his evident feelings towards Durant humiliating him by surpassing him @ the tender age of 25,while LeBron is at his peak. where it matters (what else could it be?) by trashtalking (not fun or friendly trashtalking) to the media and putting up all his energy (which he would not put up on the court all season) on trying to pad his stats against a nonchalant Washington team as hard as he ever could in a nonchalant regular season game game......




I mean, he was DEAD serious, Game 7 Finals 1 minute left game tied type of serious.......... with all his might played as hard as possible while trashtalking to the media before the game, then posted even worse stats then he was averaging for the year

[Black and White]

Hurt about what? LOL. It's January 15th.

Just admit he played bad for the amount of pressure he put on himself, that's all

[DMV2]

The only thing I want out of LeBron is to see him take 35+ shots to try to get a 50 or 60 point game. 25/8/7, 36/7/5, 32/5/6 - win or loss, we've seen these lines almost a decade now. Just be selfish for once in a blue moon, when Wade or Bosh scores less than 10- takeover on the scoring side.

He's proven me wrong the last 2 years so I don't have room to hate on anymore than the 50-60 point game I'd like to see.

[ImKobe]

Bwahahah, that look of regret... :applause:

the gif is obviously from the Nets game

[Demitri98]

Nah, it's not that accurate because Ariza obviously isn't guarding him the entire time in all those games but...

Lebron scores less and at lower FG%. Way more turnovers, but he still gets a ton of boards and assists. I would say Ariza does better than your average Lebron defender.
That's because he's been defending LeBron in their matchups since high school.
He has the experience and the physical tools that make him one of the best LeBron defenders around, though he is severely underrated.

Lebron passes to much and scores not so much averaging 7 Assists every year: LeBron trusts his teammates to much and isnt selfish enough
LeBron has a bad game where he tried to score much: Lebron tries to do everything on his own his entire career and is now declining at at 29...
that logic is retarded even for a Kobe stan:roll: :roll: :roll:

Why are you sitting here and pretending that Lebron's play isn't that of producing wins?
Hes played winning basketball his whole life essentially outside of his first couple of seasons in the NBA. Hes been on 50+ win teams the whole time since 06-07, most of the time them being 60 win teams. Hes the back to back finals MVP...

I'm going to take a guess, and say since his first MVP season, he has won the most games in the NBA out of anyone. Clearly, hes not playing the game correctly, right?

He did show intent when he said this:

Too bad you're a delusional dumbass.

Yea, like a lot of the scrutiny surrounding LeBron over the years. It's self imposed through absolute, gum flapping stupidity. He brought this one all on himself. Per usual. He just continually says dumb things.

[Indian guy]

"We'll see how I'm coasting. You'll see the numbers I'll put up on Wednesday


"We'll see Wednesday how I'm coasting," James said jokingly as he made his way into the Heat locker room on Monday.

This doesn't sound like a guy who was bent on making some kind of statement. And his intent-less play right from tip-off made that pretty obvious. Honestly, wouldn't this have been a million times more satisfying for you guys if LeBron was actually trying to have a big game out there and fell flat on his face? The first time he even put some effort tonight was with 2 minutes to go in the first half.

Personally I do think Lebron is coasting, he simply doesnt have to play as hard as Durant does. This game more showed that LBJ cant turn it on anytime he wants though, unlike MJ.

[Combat Wombat]

This is now Durant's league. This is a non-story.

Pretty much this.:cheers:

[stolper]

As a Lebron owner in fantasy basketball, I can tell you that he is definitely coasting. He's averaging like half a block less per game than his normal average. People like Jeremy Lin and Kemba Walker are blocking more shots per game than he is. This is a completely unreported story and may end up cost me a fantasy championship.

For real it's pretty ridiculous how few shots he blocks. I think he blocked a shot today but was credited with an assist instead, anyone know what I'm talking about?
