The free throw bitching always cracks me up. Smart teams teach their players to go to the rim and draw contact. The Thunder players were not good at this originally. They worked on it. Harden his first year NEVER drew contact now he's on the the best in the league. KD and Westbrook go to the rim a lot. LeBron and Wade go to the rim a lot. Kobe goes to the rim a lot. Sometimes you get calls and sometimes you don't. Westbrook in game 4 of the Finals went to the rim 20 times and drew 1 foul. Sometimes you get calls and sometimes you don't. Part of good teams going to the line though is by design. That's part of the reason they are good teams. It's not just the ref blowing the whistle because you are a star. People that bitch about every little call should just stop watching basketball and end their frustration.
