I wasn't able to watch, but searched out some game clips online.
My question is whether Trae has turned into a drama queen trying to draw fouls on every play. When KP fouled him on the 3pt shot, it looked very mild, but there he was flat on his back. Same with the WCS screen at the end. I had visions of DWade after Game 1 in 2011.
I think there was a write up earlier in the season how Trae has started stopping short around a screen to get his defender to run up his back and get the foul call. He is a tremendous offensive player and I hate to see that become a major part of his game. Is this looking for a sympathy call because he's the smallest guy on the court?
Others do it, or have done it. CP3 used to drive me crazy when he was in NO. It's the part of Harden's game I dislike the most.
OK, mini-rant done. On with the day...
