When I say that I do not think it was significant last night, here is why I say so:

1. No team took a large lead over the other (15-20 points)
2. No key players fouled out
3. Game was tied a couple of times in the middle of the fourth quarter, giving both teams a shot down the stretch
4. Both teams went into the bonus with more than 5 mins left to play in the game.
5. The game did not come down to the last play. It ended with one team trying to foul 3-5 times to catch up
6. The losing team's superstar (Boozer) had a satistically sub-par game, again.

There were some bad calls last night, yes. There have been bad calls every night and in every game. But I dont see how refs had a significant impact last night. Both teams had a shot.

Let's see how many Jazz fans have a problem tomorrow night when the Jazz win Game 6.
I mostly agree and I believe that because of how close the game that it made the bevy of ridiculous calls that much worse and more intrusive into the outcome.
