LeBron's post-up game just didn't mature enough early in his career, and now when he goes to it late in games, the footwork isn't always there. He leans on brute strength, puts a shoulder into the defender, but doesn't elevate high enough, so shots get blocked or he's complaining to the refs.
Some of those turnovers were him trying to force feed Ayton, who just couldn't catch the ball cleanly. You could see the frustration on LeBron's face in real time.
But watch the pass to Jackson Hayes. That's a good look, finished nicely. Now picture Embiid in that same spot, cleaning up the misses and finishing even more viciously. That's the fix. #shorts
