I did not say that the missed call forced this outcome. LeBron did his typical choke job and missed a game winning shot, plus two free throws to start the overtime. Wade missed a free throw in overtime. The Celtics had plenty of chances to win and did not convert. Not having Pierce hurt them, and the rest of the team other than Rondo disappeared.

Don't know if you saw it or not, the call was in the paint but it was also evident if you watch it. I know you are quick to defend the refs for whatever reason, but plain and simple a call like this cannot be missed in an NBA game of this magnitude. The game was tied at the time of the missed call.

I saw it...and I am quick to defend refs - but mostly because everyone else is quickly to call them out.

I watched the entire game.
Here is a picture of the foul as it happened.
Although it is obvious from the 20 camera angles we can see it at....
the ref on the baseline looks like his vision is completely obstructed because there are several players between him and the ball.
It was his call to make and he couldn't have seen it.
