I'll try to keep my response short and brief.

Back in the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals, Miami did get a few questionable calls (the one I can remember most is a flagrant foul called on the Bulls with 1:44 to go). In fact, there were in some blogs that the 4th quarter (especially the last 2-3 minutes) were poorly officiated in favor of Miami.

Then again in last year NBA Finals, Miami got calls left and right in Game 2 and 4. And I know I'm not the only one who saw them, as there was much outrage and complaining on social media. Here are a few of the top of my head:

-Goaltending on Ibaka block (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAbZ-Bn6Zlo)
-Chalmers bumping Westbrook, and no foul
-Westbrook returns the favor, but gets called for a foul
-No call on Lebron defending Durant's shot with 10 seconds left (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA_MclW1eI4)

I know there is more, and of course, there's always the Lakers-Kings series of '02, the Tim Donahey confession on 60 minutes about how he used to bet on games while he was still a ref (http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5914330n‎) and (http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5914372n‎), Game 6 of the Jazz-Bulls '98 Finals, late in the game when the Bulls were up by 2, Scottie Pippen hung on the rim‎ long enough before the Jazz put up a layup that rolled off the rim while the rim was rocking a little bit, and Bulls-Heat series this year: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r-SOjEN27E) Just my 2 cents.

Don't mind me, I'm just fixing your CBS links so I can watch them.

A technical foul for yelling "ball don't lie"? In an NBA playoff game? (After an unnecessary technical foul moments earlier)
Sigh, this league...

Was it the Pacers that got a tech?

If a tree falls in a forest, and there's no one there to hear it, which official calls the technical on the Pacers? I say it's the one closest to the scorer's table.

Whatever happens in this series, as a Pacers fan, I'm just proud of what they've accomplished. They've played great ball all season, and this is the happiest I've been as a fan since Reggie Miller retired.

Heat deserved to win that one. Bridgman should have been tossed though. That was BS. Still hoping the Pacers can pull it out.

Even more BS since they went to video review. So zero excuse. The whole sequence was 100 times worse than what Narz did to Lebron. But with Indiana winning at the time, there was little chance they'd eject him. Only after Miami won game 5 did they reverse themselves & suspend Birdman.

And why did Hansbrough get a technical foul anyway? He gets knocked down, then 2 hand shoved, & didn't retaliate. I guess the tech was for not flopping?

Barkley was all over the refs a bunch of games. even throwing out "conspiracy" quite a few times this series. lol.
