Lebron: "Time to dust off the post game"

[Killakobe81]

Lebron shot 52% in post-up situations last year..clearly, he's doing something right..

Scoring in the paint and actually having a post game are two different things.

Lebron shot 52% on plays where he was in the post-up position..those numbers are provided by the NBA's scouting tools..

He doesn't have a polished post-up game, but it was effective last season..I agree that he should keep working on it though, obviously..

Last night he showed a pretty solid post game. It was a pleasant surprise, I hope he goes into the post more often.

Lebron isn't going as hard as he could IMO(I don't think any of the 3 Kings are going as hard as they can though)..I watched most of his games last year, I feel like he's coasting on the offensive end this year..you can see that he steps it up in games where Wade is off or isn't playing, but I feel like most of his effort has been on the defensive end this season..

He's content with Wade as the #1 scoring option, Lebron seems to be more focused on being a passer and a defensive anchor..when the playoffs come, he's going to be in the paint a lot more often IMO..

Of coursde he can be effective he is bigger quicker and stronger than every other SF. But if they need a bucket ina close game the LAST place i want Lebron is on the low block. i want him in isolation or on the move cutting and slashing to the hoop.

So does his opponents.

I have Pierce, Garnett and Kobe on the top of my head

Kobe has a pretty good post game, as does Pierce (though usually I like Pierce slashing, of course as he gets older that gets slightly less effective.)

And Garnett has a good post-game, but with an asterisk, since it usually results in his turnaround jumper (which is amazingly effective) rather than a layup or other higher-percentage shot.

Granted it was the Raps Lebron showed last night he has a post game.
