Legendary performance by an all-time great. He saw the up and coming refs throw out Jokic and took the steps needed to secure the throne. Scott Foster is HIM

new episode of Fosters Home for Imaginary Fouls

[–] darklighthumid@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The first technical was when Chris Paul used the F* word on him. It was clear on the screen. lmao

It was wise for Steph Curry to pull him out before he reached Scott Foster after the second tech, who knows what kind of worse might have happened.

[–] rxndom123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We all want to see what would’ve happened though, right!?

[–] JustWinBabys@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Might be like the Bob Barker Happy Gilmore fight

[–] sactown_13@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Scott would have turned around and Paul would have flopped to half court

[–] coolycooly@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Anything short of rubbing his balls while saying Im rigging this shit it doesn't matter he will get away with it. He could've ejected the whole Warriors bench for being teammates with CP3 and the league would let him ref the next day.

[–] Afraid-Department-35@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The KD one makes sense, that's an actual rule. But the CP3 ones is just a vendetta, other players get away with way worse with just a slap on the rest and warning. There's clearly some personal shit going on and compromised refs should never ref games like these.

[–] Clemsontigger16@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Since when can guys continue to complain about a call (and obvious one btw) for over a minute without being prone for getting a tech? If you take the narrative away, CP3’s actions warranted a tech and then the outburst after warranted a second tech.

I can see it both ways very easily, people get too caught up in the conspiracy theories sometimes

[–] GONZnotFONZ@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would argue that a technical foul was warranted. But didn’t he just straight toss him? Like I don’t see two separate techs. He just says you’re gone and gives him two technical fouls.

[–] Clemsontigger16@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No he gave him a tech did arguing and continuing to argue…then Foster walked away and CP3 kept berating him and calling him a bitch, which got him the second tech

[–] GONZnotFONZ@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yep just rewatched it. The first one I saw didn’t show have the ‘Technical Foul’ banner on the bottom and must have started after the first one. Definitely seems warranted.

[–] Purganis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Refs wanna be the star of the show instead of the players...

[–] Comrade_agent@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Scott Foster highlight reel!?!? Dessert has been served🍷🍰

[–] mangotail@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He continued to escalate because Foster was talking back to him lmao

[–] Yeah_thats_greeat@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This man really has no business on an NBA court. When is Adam Silver going to do what someone born on earth would do and remove him from the league?

[–] suicideskinnies@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It'll never happen. Foster almost certainly has dirt on the league that will result in a huge financial and PR nightmare to deal with. The negative attention Scott Foster attracts as a referee pales in comparison to the potential backlash resulting in his firing. The league probably thinks it's best to just let him ride off into retirement on his own accord.

[–] Known-Specific5869@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Love when the fans come together and agree that Scott foster is worse than hitler.

[–] j_cruise@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's gotta be one of the most hated figures in NBA history lmao. There are obviously some people like Donald Sterling who have him beat, but he's gotta be top 15 at least

[–] KillianDrake@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This what Draymond does with every ref after every call against him, and he rarely ever gets even 1 T, never mind 2 in one shot. And never a 2nd when he has one already, then he can just go hog-wild doing whatever the fuck he wants.

[–] mmaguy123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Someone do a deep analysis on the 20 playoff games Scott has officiated for CP3.

Is CP3 ringless because of Scott Foster? That would be wild if he’s influenced the trajectory of his whole career.

[–] Low_Wall_7828@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’m not saying Foster is a good ref but CP never shuts up and is always running his mouth to the refs. He kept quiet in OKC and Phx for the most part, so he’s had some T’s coming. The KD play is silly and stupid but they almost always call that.

[–] Rich_Currency_420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Referees are bullshit. I think most professional referees think they are the stars, that people pay to see

[–] Bobaximus@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’d love to know what dirt he has on the NBA. Shocking that he’s still employed.

[–] ImExtremelyErect@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Can someone pull up Chris Paul's win-loss with Foster reffing?

[–] L-1011-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The refs are ruining the game. It’s not about you guys. Let the players play.

[–] leagueofcipher@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

“Unsportsmanlike conduct” for refs is like “I feared” for cops

[–] Madterps2021@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Scott Foster vs Chris Paul Part ???

[–] walkingthecows@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If anyone wants to get down to the bottom of this corrupt ass shit, look no further than the head of the snake. Adam Silver has taken all necessary measures to give the refs as much power as possible to the outcome of the game.

[–] Ehgadsman@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

2 technical fouls should be 1 shot on the first 2 shots on the second, it should take 3 or more to be ejected, league needs to stop being the impatient intolerant ones. Make it hurt the score dont eject the player so quickly. Fuck the refs the fans are the reason the damn league even exists they deserve more respect than players ejected in 2 'strikes'.

[–] kins8@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

he acts like he is untouchable by the league, and seems he's probably right

[–] BirdIsTheWordYaHeard@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

lol, go Foster... Fuck CP3 and Dur'Can't, lol...

[–] smallzy007@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Scott Foster is a…
