^Lol @ somebody not noticing how true that is from game 2. Bill simmons said the same thing saying one of the refs "were practically wearing a celtics jersey" as he put it.

and game 3 wasn't called in anyones favor, IF anything maybe a SLIGHT edge to LA, but not as big disparity as was in game 2. There were 28 fouls called on Celts to 23 for Lakers. 34 fts for Lakers to 24 for celtics.

Plus, Celtics rarely drove in cuz KG was in "I'ma scared lil bitch" mode.


and my favorite part of that article is:

"Q: Is Kevin Garnett on pace to pass Elvin Hayes, Wilt Chamberlain and Karl Malone as the biggest choke artist in the history of the NBA Finals?

A: For the sake of objectivity, this question had to be asked. And it's a fair question. After a smoking-hot first half in Game 1, KG has missed 36 of his past 50 shots -- which would be fine except nearly all of them were either wide-open jumpers or low-post moves with inferior defenders (either Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom or Ronny Turiaf) guarding him. What worried me Tuesday night was KG missed a few and subsequently seemed terrified to shoot, to the point the Lakers just started leaving him open and daring him to take his patented 20-footer like he was Quinn Buckner or something. In the second half, Boston helped him by bringing in Eddie House -- FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'd add 500 more exclamation points, but it would screw up the HTML for this column) -- to spread the floor, allowing Garnett to post up 10 feet from the basket, then whirl around, face Gasol and beat him off the dribble. Which isn't exactly difficult. Only it wasn't a sure thing in Game 3."

Exactly what I've been trying to say.
