I was cheering for the Heat in this series.

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

And perhaps their talent was what kept them in the first half?

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.

I figured you were talking about Carmelo from round 1 for some reason, yes superstars get the calls The heat have superstars as well, and like KG, Wade was getting calls against guys like Green.

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.

The Heat had most of their FTs in the first half, they were actually getting less calls in the second. The refs just called less fouls in general in the second, but the calls were consistently fair throughout the game. The Celtics were not getting away with more than the Heat in the first though.
