At first I thought you were talking about the cheese cracker with peanut butter and wanted to say those are way too good for him. Then realized youre talking about the cheese on fake cheese crackers and I will concur. He can drink his own urine to say hydrated.
Pop decided to rest him. But seriously, these two recently fouling-outs of Harden's makes it seem to conspiracy theorists like the refs have it in for him. Maybe they're upset because Foster has been forced to sit for a while? Prior to the All-Star Game, Foster reffed on Jan 17/28/29/31 and Feb 6. Then he reffed us against the Lakers on Feb 21 and hasn't been seen since? Hmm... I know, I know. Almost certainly that's not the case. Or is it?
The average salary of an NBA referee is from $150,000 to $550,000. The average salaries have spiked considerably since 1983, when NBA officials made between $18,146 and $78,259 each season. Entry-level referees: Entry-level referees in the NBA earn $150,000 per year, according to information released by the league.
There's actually an unhealthy trend of star players getting into foul trouble or getting called for more fouls when Foster is a part of the officiating crew. It's almost as if he's trying to neutralize the impact a star player has on the game.
exactly...trying to even the odds. When they used to call blatant flops offensive fouls on Shaq and Yao it drove me crazy. The defender is 6'8 230, He's not supposed to be able to hold Shaq and Yao....you blowing the whistle on flops evens the odds.
For the season the home team's winning % is .589 when he officiated which isn't that far off from the average across all officials. Now whether or not he's going to piss off the players...that's another story.

Either Aldridge (2.2 fouls per game this season) or Derozan (2.3) will be whistled for more fouls tonight than their season averages.
hawks announcer on the nonstop whistle tonite "there's just no flow to this game tonite" btw after just watching the HOU-TOR game for the first time, goble has definitely been inducted into the league's designated fixer fraternity. by the end of the playoffs we are going to be very familiar with him
