over the past 4 postseasons we are 1-7 when he refs, and that lone win by 2 points last week had so many questionable calls harden to bring it up in the postgame presser. so for the usual fools here attempting to claim foster is a non-issue — the math clearly does not support your flimsy argument
The poster who is acting on this thread as if it were normal to have Scott Foster as the referee for this game - stop being ridiculous.
Harden probably better not attempt defense tonight. He's going to end up with 3 fouls in the first quarter.
Foster is going to target the Rockets in two ways: He will call at least 2 offensive fouls on Harden and get him in foul trouble. He will call at least 2 foul calls on Tucker very early to set the tempo that any physical defense on Anthony Davis or Lebron will not be tolerated. Other weapons at his disposal: Call fouls on any Rocket when Lebron and Davis attack the rim and get them in penalty early. Look for an excuse to throw Westbrook out of the game. Mike needs to save his challenge for end game situation and use it WISELY. Use it when you are 100% certain you will win. Because otherwise there is no way Foster will side with the Rockets.
Man, is this a god damn joke. How is this worthless garbage referee still in the NBA with his fishy connection to the NBA referee scandal. This garbage human being was on the receiving end of 134 god damn phone calls from Tim Donaghy between October, 2006, to April 2007. So in that time period he almost got called 5 times per week by the most corrupt NBA referee and still this disgusting referee is messing up games in the NBA. There are no other big sports with the same kind of problems when it comes to the referees and NBA could obviously not care enough about it since they are still getting him gigs.
He will most definitely give quick falls to Tucker and Harden and we will not see the Rockets getting those type of calls on offense. You know it's one messed up referee when a fanbase are more concentrated on the referee compared to their focus on the opposing team.
There's a distubance in the force... SCOTT FOSTER YOU'VE BEEN ACTIVATED BROTHERS GO ON STAND BY YES....YES...GOOD...GOOOOOOODDDD...
Put your money on lakers lol. Brothers game 3 and 5 and foster back for 7 as a fail safe? put some money on harden/Russ getting 3 offensive fouls too. Harden a quick 2 in the first quarter.
well rockets won their last game officiated by the scott, so that's that... So hit your wide open 3s, dont play careless and lackadaisical and he cant touch you... i am sure rockets, especially harden hurt themselves more than any ref could harm them...
The fact that we even know the name of Scott Foster is the ultimate proof to the fact that he is beyond awful. Do you guys even know any sport where a referee's name bring so much controversy and negativity? I don't. This son of a b**** is a b*stard, it's messed up that knowing that he will be reffing the game will ruin much of the fun.
I gave up 2 years ago for good on a fair game being called. To me, the NBA is nothing more than WWE...they just try to hide it. Once I stopped expecting a fair game and started viewing it like wrestling, it became much easier to stomach since I stopped actually caring about a league that manufactures wins and champions.
