Scott Foster now has 13 consecutive wins for the road team in the playoffs

[I_Like_Dirt]

Who does the NBA use him to hatchet next? Not to speak to any specific game individually, but this was way out of hand in the last playoffs. No way is this coincidence at this point.

[MUpacersSIC]

Pacers were getting mauled by the Raptors in the first half with no calls. Second half was pretty much reversed.

[JLiv]

Idk if he caused PG to shoot shoot 10-13 from the field in the 2nd half or for the Raptors' all star backcourt to shoot 8-32 from the field.

We blaming the refs already? Nice

[Jeremy Lin 7]

Lowry and derozan played like scrubs. Raptors are going no where with theses two chokers

[Froob]

Here we go...Raps have never legitmently lost a game.

[Bertrob]

Pretty sure there was a study that the Raptors benefited the most from missed calls. I think Utah was last

Pretty much, I think the sooner the Raptors organization realize this the better. Got to get rid of those two guys and just rebuild, unless they like being first round food every year.

Not blaming the refs for the game. As mentioned, this isn't about individual games. The longest road winning strea in NBA history is 16 by the 71-72 Lakers. Foster is at 13 and going strong in the playoffs. He's setting NBA history. The longest playoff winning streak ever stands at 13. Some of the road wins were almost assuredly legit. No way all 13 were and nobody here is going to be able to legitimately tell the difference. Foster's streak includes 2 losses for the Warriors last year and at least 1 for the Cavs, I believe. A pretty amazing feat.

Refs made bad calls on both ends. PG13 made shots, made plays for others and dominated on D, so the Pacers won. Simple as that.

[tsherkin]

The refs were bad, and they certainly cost us JV at the end of the game, but we were trying to lose that game the whole way with the level of performance we got out of Lowry and Demar.

[M1nd]

that one random foul on jv which was 3rd i guess and everything then downhill :c but ye raptors played like trash (lowry,dekobe).

JV should have fouled out in the first half.

Lowry depends way too much on the officials.

Surprised he still has full function in his spine the way he jerks his head back every play. Then that stare down he gives the ref when they don't call it... lol it would make me never want to give him a call.

Why aren't people just debating the topic?

The topic isn't "Foster gets the Pacers to win". It's "Foster now had 13 consecutive wins for the home team."

I mean, what are the odds considering that the home team was a favorite each of those 13 times?

[Blame Rasho]

You know when Cory Joseph is your best player in the game... maybe that should clue you in on why your team lost a game.

JV should have fouled out in the first half.

No, no that's totally inaccurate. But as others have said, the officiating was reasonably even-handed if you look at the story of the two halves in general. There were a bunch of BS calls in that game, and certainly some physicality, of course, though that's all to be expected in a postseason game. The Pacers were playing "mug the crap out of JV," and the refs were evening it out by letting him fight a little bit more... but yeah, Turner and the rest also simply couldn't handle the power he was displaying, most of which was pretty legal. A couple of the fouls on him were total head-scratchers.

A few of the fouls they called on him were head scratcers, but it evens out with the amount of times he went over the back on our guys. A few of which, he even launched himself off of our players.

Yeah, but usually right after an uncalled Indiana foul

Like I said, the refs were letting them play physical, so a lot of the stuff that wasn't called, especially down low, was reciprocity. George was hacking like an old man with emphysema when he wasn't out in front of our guys on the drive, and so was Turner, etc, etc. It's the playoffs, right, so it's common that they let them play a little more and don't call it when it's going both ways.
