Road Teams Are 8-1 in Playoffs with Scott Foster Officiating

Game tied. Lebron gets 2 fts instead of offensive foul. Atlanta gets iffy off. foul. Jr smith starts lighting up.

That was a block, not a charge. The ATL player was clearly still moving

Delladova also flopped on that screen

if Lebron is involved, the refs are always wrong

NBA feels so WWE, it all seems scripted, the difference everyone knows WWE is scripted, but this guy was the one that looked of coach Blatt calling a timeout, without them having one.

I hope Hawks play so good, that even the refs can tilt game toward the Cavs.

even if they saw it, im glad the refs didnt call that timeout. The whole point of the technical foul is to stop teams from gaining an advantage by stopping time. There was no timeout called, therefore no advantage gained for the Cavs, and no need to slap them with a technical. BTW, a few plays later they missed a pretty obvious foul on Noah when Lebron drove which would have sealed the game.

Just want to point out, even if the officiating wasn't one sided, doesn't mean that it wasn't corrupt. It's very possible that they evenly officiated the game last night, but made it poorly officiated to throw the teams out of a rhythm from bad foul calls so they scored less and went under the o/u.

This is getting ridiculous now.

Scott Foster is legitimately awful so his post has merit.

Yeah. This is what happens when we trust the NBA to investigate the NBA to see if the NBA has corrupt officials. Dude is BFFs with a known cheater (who pulled a Canseco and put the whole league on blast) and he's probably the worst official in the league.

That's the most succinct summary of the Donaghy scandal.

"We trust the NBA to investigate the NBA."

I admit I'm too apathetic to protest this pitiable response but I wish the media would make more of a deal of it instead of just going with the flow and repeating the summary of David Stern on the matter. I was hoping this would be the impetus to finally make the NBA address it's horrific refereeing and other unnecessary non-basketball-referee-crap like Joey Crawford ejecting Duncan when on the bench for laughing.

Oh well. The NBA responded to the questions of their credibility very seriously and certainly did every did everything possible to make refereeing as accurate as humanly and technologically possible.

This topic is probably going to under a lot more scrutiny with Adam Silver pushing for greater sports betting.
