As a Celtics fan you obviously feel different but as fan of the NBA they seemed to be getting a lot of calls and getting away with a lot.

So if it was just the refs keeping the Celtics in the game, why did they score just as many points as the Heat in the 3rd quarter?

It wasn't the Hat versus the Raptors. The Celtics have some talent to keep them in the game.

Anthony wasn't playing in this series, so that's not really relevant. As for Garnett getting calls, he definitely isn't getting anymore than Wade.

I am pretty sure Joel Anthony was guarding Garnett 90% of the time this series so it would appear that he was there and would be relevant.

Last nights game had the biggest difference in FTA for the entire series, if the refs were trying to help the Celtics the margin wouldn't have been anywhere near that big.

It was because the Heat realized that there was nobody on the Celtics that could stop them going to the basket. And for the last time it was early in the game it appeared the refs were favoring them. I said that in the second half they let them play. Early on it looked liked the refs were helping them not throughout the game.
