When running to first base you should run so fast that you fall over because you got ahead of yourself. If you can stop in 3 or 4 steps after getting to first base you were not running hard enough or fast enough.

I want to see LA do good because I like their colors and stuff(SHUT UP!). I don't follow sports until the end of the season anyways.

I have one question...isn't it usually true that who ever has the most free throws usually wins the game.

No. The San Antonio Spurs are proof of that. In a 29 team league, the Spurs ranked 26th and 24th in FT% during their 2 recent title runs. There's this misconception that FTs are critical to a game, and while they are, but if you do a lot of things right (such as defense and rebounding) and running the clock out with the lead...a win almost always result.
