    2017 1st Round Game 3 - Rockets 113, Thunder 115
    2017 Conference Semi-Finals Game 2 - Rockets 96, Spurs 121 (feat. Tony Brothers)
    2017 Conference Semi-Finals Game 6 - Spurs 115, Rockets 75 (Harden fouls out)
    2018 Conference Semi-Finals Game 2 - Jazz 116, Rockets 108 (feat. Tony Brothers)
    2018 Conference Finals Game 1 - Warriors 119, Rockets 106
    (feat. Tony Brothers)
    2018 Conference Finals Game 7 - Warriors 101, Rockets 92

    But ESPN posts this...

    This is a stupid way to look at it. It should compare Foster reffed games to non-Foster reffed games. How many FTAPG in each case, how many foul calls in each case, etc.

    I'd also like to see our winning percentage vs expected winning percentage in Foster reffed games. Do we typically lose more then we should when he refs?

    This statistic capsule more in context --

    Foster as ref winning % - 50.0%
    Foster not as ref winning % - 71.8%

    Fouls per game with Foster - 23.2
    Fouls per game without Foster - 20.7

    FTA per game with Foster - 23.3
    FTA per game without Foster - 25.3

    the sad part is, no matter how many stats you try to put up to get your point across, people still gonna laugh and not give 2 $hits about it. only way for us to get ANY respect is to win the whole f*cking thing. my dream championship would be beating GSW in game 7 of finals with this douchebag reffing.

    Telling Clutchfans to quit ESPN is like telling Linus to give up his blanket

    No way Charlie Brown

    "The only way to make people believe the refs influence the game is to win a title that the refs alone can decide."

    kinda hard when you think about it.

    no amount of boycott from Houston fans will make up for the amount of Warriors and Lakers fans that subscribe to ESPN.
