Has anyone noticed how much it seems Garnett has improved his actual post moves this season, He is up-faking guys way more than I can ever remember from him....

I think he's trying to prove that he's not "old legs". A lot of people are saying that his career is going downhill, which it sadly is starting to, and with his fire he wants to prove them wrong. Also, he wasn't fully healthy for most of last season, so he definitely looks better so far this season.

Well I was thinking he has started using post moves more now because he has his old legs

I think it's the opposite. If he had such old legs he would be taking more mid-range jumpers and not aggresively go into the post. He looks a lot better than he did last year.

His post-move where he shakes then fades away and banks it always gets me going ''damn man this dude....''

Well I think he has to play more in the post because this team has NO POST players and he's now the 'C' so he's supposed to be there really. His post moves aren't even athletic necessarily they are up fakes and such

That's true about the no post players and yes, his post moves aren't that athletic, but the paint is really really physical. His up fakes and little fades seem to be working really well. I'm not saying he's Olajuwon, but I do think that going into the post more often is a way of saying he can still be aggressive.
