Not surprised it involved miami

*Not blaming fouls or techs on the loss. So please dont get emotional haters.

As you can see when refs sense a team running away with a game, they make these types of calls.

I'm confused, what was the momentum killer?  It was a 7-5 quarter Miami after that sequence and that includes a 25 foot bomb by House as time expired and 2 missed foul shots by Boston. Boston was up 15 at the half and 17 at multiple points in the second quarter. 

If there was a "momentum killer" it was the actual foul, not the technical.

Another case of evidence mining?

nobody is crying fix. Nobody said that the Celtics lost because of those calls.

Stop assuming.

Its an example, obviously you dont know basketball if you dont get the point.

This doesnt show anything to do with changing momentum. But it could, calling bogus techs and fouls are used to stop the bleeding IMO to stop the run.

I see it all the time and you do to, a bad foul when your team is on a 6-0 run, when your team just nailed a 3 pointer at the end of a shot clock, then a ticky tack shooting foul down the other end.

I see it way to much. You saw it last year with Jermaine Oneal

You saw it with Paul Pierce getting a QUICK tech and ejection.

When people cry fix they think its the obvious ...foul difference...but its more than that, you think the refs dont know people will be looking at that, they know exactly how to shift games and they do it at certain points not in quantity of calls.

The Celtics get those calls to in certain series, but against the Heat, you can forget about it, Stern and the NBA needs Lebron in the Finals. There is no question about that.
