<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> LeBron James treats the low post as search-and-rescue territory. If he shows up there, it's an emergency. "We were really struggling on offense in the first half," James said of the New Jersey game when he planted himself on the block in the third quarter and proved about as easy to move as the 35,000-square-foot house he's building. There are reasons James doesn't spend chunks of every game down low - aside from the Nets not being the nightly matchup. Habit. His success tearing up defenses from the perimeter. He's shown adaptability in other aspects of his game. The improvements in his long-range jump-shooting between his first year and second were instantly noticeable and long-lasting. His corrections this season led him to add the deep knee-bend free throw (better) and subtract the kissed wristband free throw (good riddance). The change has reduced his rim-clanging. He can now be found shooting a low-elevation 3-pointer when defenders either don't catch up to him in transition or when, fearing a drive, step back and give him some room. "I'm trying to keep my balance better," he said. "I only do it on 3s." So, why not more post-ups when clearly that positioning in the Nets game left Richard Jefferson with few answers? </div> Source: Cleveland Plains Dealer
