true giraffe is taller but when it comes to handling the basketball you got get low so it makes easier for the ram to steal the ball. THe giraffe should back down the ram in the paint and flip up a quick jump hook and score 2 points. The Ram on the other hand might relay on lay-ups after crosses up the giraffe or fade away jumper or shooting from 3-point line
"Posting up" is playing with your back toward the basket. When you have a height or strength advantage on your defender, it's a good way to push closer to the hoop for an easier shot.
Taller players are easier to steal from because when they dribble, the distance between the floor and their hand is greater, so a defender has more opportunity to poke it away. Since a post up is usually performed by tall players, it's important for them to learn how to dribble the ball low to minimize that distance between the floor and the hand so that when the defense reaches out to steal, like what the ram is doing here, there's fewer opportunities for him to make contact with the ball.
