    I am not sure of what the context is, but shading should never be used for half-committing to the post; however, terms don't really matter if you know the action behind it. I understand what you are trying to say.

    That is classic revisionist history. His TS percentage was a horrendous 51%, below the league average, taking a significantly higher amount of shots per game than in the regular season. How many more playoff series of "shooting slumps" does he have to have before you realize that maybe he just doesn't play the same in the playoffs?

    Harden is the only player on our team able to dribble the ball and feed the post? Actually, Parsons is the best post-feeder on the team. Also, if the Rockets struggle to "bring it up the floor", then they would not have been a playoff team. I don't think any NBA team struggles to get in position to run sets consistently.

    Brian Windhorst:

    Any surprise he opted out?

    Only thing surprising is he did it this early. Thought he might wait until/after the draft. LeBron can demand any contract he wants. He can sign himself into the contract he just opted out of. There is no risk in doing it.

    (LeBron and Carmelo) will consult. No one has the cap space to put them together. It's somewhat appealing to play on the same team to count on each other to reduce each other's minutes.

    I wonder what is taking Wade and Bosh so long.

    I would freak the freak out if the Houston Rockets acquired Lebron James. That would be unreal exciting.

    Doesn't mean anything until wade/bosh opt in or out. If all three opt out, they're trying to add others to their team. If those two opt in, good chance Lebron is leaving.

    This is the fear though. Don't get played by Lebron Morey.
