It really isn't the 'REFS' it is the 'REF' Singular. WATCH ALL THESE PLAYS, these are calls that Scott Foster is positioned to call and doesn't, or he makes the wrong call. Someone (not me) needs to compile all this crap. Scott Foster has been tied to Tim Donaghy (by the sheer amount of phone calls) to gambling Scott Foster was voted by 24 out of 30 NBA teams players AND coaches to be the worst official in the game Scott Foster has a known public feud with Chris Paul and they assign him to one of the most important games of this year. Scott Foster rigged this game. These were his positions, these were his calls to make: He was the one who didn't call the 2 huge obvious fouls on James in the second during his 3's (that's a 6 point turn around) He was the one who decided Hardens 3 in the 3rd when the foul was called wasn't a bucket He was the one who didn't call the moving screen in the 3rd when Curry hit He was the one who didn't call Gordons drive a foul He is the one in just about every blown or b/s call this entire game. Rockets playing their hearts out, every possession counts and Foster wont let our players get the rhythm they deserve and EARNED by BS. It robbed the team of momentum. NBA 'ASKED FERTITTA' to 'please don't bash the ref's'.. 'to be respectful'... yet the NBA turns around and disrespects everyone and the game itself by assigning a Ref that every organization in the league frowns upon to a critical game. Disrespectful AF It's disrespectful because they have 119 officials on roster and they assign the worst overall, voted by their own employee's', to ref the most important game Taken from another thread to show the BS. Props to the dude who made it.
That what I'm saying. It's not THE OFFICIALS. it's the OFFICIAL. One dude, the others really didn't do a bad job. It wasn't their position on all those plays.. it was Fosters position
They really do have to work out the kinks in those foul calls when guys are shooting 3’s. I don’t think even they know how bang-bang it is, and are just reflexively calling it on the floor. If they need more help, make it reviewable. Will be annoying and cause more delays, but eventually they’ll get it right.
I knew this was an L once Scott Foster was named to ref this game. He always makes sure the Rockets lose and that will never change unfortunately.
**** this guy. You knew as soon as they announced he'd be at this game that we were screwed. We all knew it.
Didn't this happen before. Didn't some referee get accused of throwing games for teams and the one series that was pointed was the Tmac and Yao team versus the Mavericks. The one where they won the 1st 2 games but then lost 4 straight and last game was a total blowout.
I mean, he blows. Like literally, figuratively, emotionally, spiritually. Like gtfo. Did anyone catch when he like slammed his hand on the scorers table (I think quarter 2)? What was that? Is there honestly anything that can be done, though? Can the rockets request a review of the game footage. He definitely missed a lot of calls, but they seemed to be one sided. Is there any accountability?
Call the NBA out on their bullshit ref(s). Take the fine. Your corrupt officiating is not acceptable. Don't just send in the tape or a few plays...
Pretty sure he blew his whistle for a 24 second violation when the horn went off then let them play on. Dantoni was mad at the whistle and foster blamed the table. That was my take on the play.
The saddest part is after GS sweeps Cleveland this rigging by the refs in back to back games will be forgotten by everybody. Rockets live to get screwed another day. Such is life.
