    It’s not just the tight game. It’s knowing all day that to win you have to beat him, and he does not lose.

    CP had the Scott Foster curse on this game for real. Ayton had like 4 fouls 4 minutes left in the 3rd, then 5 fouls with 8 minutes left in the 4th. Crowder had 3 fouls with 2 mins left in the 3rd.

    But then again there's the Kardashian curse on Book.

    Foster wasnt there last game or the game before.

    Stop blaming Foster wtf. If he the only reason Cp3 loses then they should win every game he isnt officiating.

    They played hack a Giannis and lost. Dude was ice from the stripe.

    If Booker would have simply hit two more 3s and not missed some layups, the outcome would have been different. Suns lost. No officials beat them.

    Okay, people thinking the referees were on the Bucks side, get it together. You did not watch this game if you even remotely think that's true. They tried to get this to game 7 at various points in the game. Foster didn't call that offensive foul on Booker for example, it was an outside official even though Foster was right there. He even called in favor of CP3 two or three times, called the travel on Giannis too I believe. If you look at the fouls on Giannis, sure there are some where he initiates but that's what this league has become. Most of them though were legit fouls. Hell, Ayton was making contact, turning his body and not squaring up. They showed a lot of the fouls on replay and those were fouls.

    If you want to look for someone to blame, look at the Suns first quarter where CP3 in particular played very nervously. Or how about Ayton playing scared, missing point blank lay-ups? Or how about playing iso ball, at the beginning of the 4th they all stood around watching Kaminsky try to make a play lol...or how about ignoring your role players? I didn't see many plays for Cam nor Bridges, especially the latter who was making tough plays in the 1st half and wasn't involved for the most part in the 2nd half. This was not the typical Foster game looking to screw CP3, this was the crew they send to force a game 7 and they did their best.

    If you think the matchup was roughly 50-50, the series was 2-2 in the non foster games. The Suns were just drawing dead in the other 2 so they lost. It’s a pretty big handicap to basically have to win 4/5 games instead of 4/7

    How is the matchup 50-50 when Suns lose 4 straight games? NBA has no incentive to rig games in favor of the Bucks as the Bucks are a small market team and dont have anyone marketable except for Giannis.

    One of their losses where Cp3 played the worst Foster wasnt even officiating.

    But they didn’t lose 4 in a row, they lost 2 in a row. I don’t hold foster losses against the Suns, that’s asinine

    Did you watch G7? Can you list the calls Foster made that allowed PHX to lose?

    From the other poster's post here he said Foster made calls IN FAVOR of PHX. We know there was 2 blatant non calls game 5 that allowed Booker to play 3 extra mins, basically giving him 7 fouls right? It trended on twitter and everything. I also know when Cp3 had his worst game of the series Foster wasnt even officiating.

    Looking at the stats PHX had 19 fts Bucks had 29. But PHX employed hacked a Giannis, they intentionally fouled Giannis 19 times he just made 17 of them (lmao). If you take out the hack a Giannis out Bucks only had 10 fta vs PHX 19 so you can see fouls did favor PHX.

    Other than Cp3 always losing in Foster officiated games, there's no evidence of Foster actually doing anything to sabotage Cp3 in the series so far. That might be a hangup of Cp3 already in which case thats on him to get over it. Ryan Anderson for example has a hang up shooting at home the Rox didnt vacate the stands and bring in visitors to accomodate him wtf. So far evidence points to NBA actually rigging games to make PHX win, which makes sense cuz PHX is a bigger market than Milwaukee.

    Again there is a motive behind every crime right???? If we assume NBA is a money grubbing corrupt org their goal will be to make the BUCKS LOSE so they can get a game 7 and make more money. Does it make sense to rig games vs the very sexy PHX team with Booker, Ayton and point god CP3 so small town Bucks get their ring...early???? Lol smh

    It's the same consipracy theory when Dumbtoni Nash team got beat by the Spurs. Yeah the NBA loved it when Spurs and New Jersey met in the Finals, it only tanked viewership but hey NBA doesnt care about views and money. Lol.

    Paul does commit a foul here, imo, but he claims after that Foster got personal

    Paul is interviewed at end of this, adding some history.

    Scott Foster needs to be investigated.

    This is getting tiresome. Foster shouldn't be allowed anywhere a game where Paul is playing. In fact, he shouldn't be allowed near any game at all. He demonstrably does not have the temperament to be an NBA ref.
