I hate this type of play.
But I also wish Tatum and Brown learned to earn a few more cheap free throws by doing things like this. It would help the team offensive lulls and their scoring numbers greatly.
Right -- foul hunting is obnoxious. There's a reason that opposing fans tended to hate Paul Pierce because of his tendency to force contact and get to the line.
But as long as the NBA refs call that stuff and reward players for doing it (see, e.g. James Harden, Joel Embiid, LeBron, etc), it's necessary to have your star players do that too in order to be able to keep up.
Foul hunting is one of the biggest remaining things missing from Tatum and Brown's games. Neither gets to the line often enough or consistently enough.
