When he runs into a guy like Hayes who can keep up with his quickness and has the hands to strip the ball from him he needs to mix up his post moves. Maybe slow yourself down and back a 6-6 guy down and shoot the hook shot over him. Those drives on Hayes clearly were not working and yet he kept going to the well over an over again. He's done this a few times this year.
I was thinking the same. Get good post position. Maybe get a screen on the opposite post to get good position when you cross and just shoot over these short guys from 6 feet out.
I think that's the difference between Amare being one of the best big men in the league and Amare being a legendary forward. He has all the tools but he needs to develop some more savvy, unathletic go to moves that he can use against guys that can match his quickness. I almost feel that he has this in his repetoire he just forgets. I've seen him shoot the baby hook. I've seen him shoot that simple turnaround that you are talking about. But he seems to prefer those running drives.
