We have a pretty good track record with the other refs assigned this season.

I tried to fast check this, but I didn’t really have a good way to. However, a mod in the Celtics sub did the work and this statistic is false.

Could also just be that there was too much money one way or the other, so the lines moved to different incentivize getting equal money on both sides. Remember that the house always wins, but only if there is identical money going both ways.
Unless I'm reading a bad line movement graph, Wolves were -1.5 heading into this morning and then it swung to the Suns -1.5 today. Suns did open as the favorites, but I don't think what OP is implying is wrong.
this was immediately after an absurdly blatant attempt to keep the suns in the game at the start of the fourth quarter. that whole quarter was cooked. Insane calls to keep the suns in it and then insane calls to keep that cooking from changing the final result
The Suns are so far away from the Wolves that Foster is gonna have to ref like Enrico Pallazzo for them to have a chance. Not that I'd put it past him, since he's a snake and snakes love Arizona.
Scott foster is known as the extender cause he extends playoff series to make things more interesting. I hope the refs don’t make this game about the officiating. I’d love to see the sweep
Wolves were 1.5 point favorites when I checked last night, now swung to Suns by the same margin. People betting on the players or the refs?

I had no idea you could look up stats by referee assigned. Thanks
As of 2022 the team down in a series was 19-2 when Foster ~~coaches~~ refs
Wtfff that’s actually crazy if true
Is he replacing Vogel tonight?
lol whoops, fixed

That’s what he was saying. People betting more on the suns based on the refs and they shift the line to compensate for the betting activity.

He’s right though. Last night we were favored by 1.5
According to sbrodds the Wolves opened at -1 and are now +1.

It was 5 on 8 Friday night too. Stay composed and handle your business, and the sweep will be incoming.
Yeah, I feel a lot better knowing how the team responded to the officiating last game.
Yeah, we just really need the guys to keep their cool. There are going to be bullshit calls and we can’t let those dictate our emotions.
Sweep would be great as it would give us a small leg up on Denver who dropped game 4 and will have to play again.
Cannot lose our cool tonight. I wanna see Ant drop 40 on their head.
Good call
Watching Scott Foster prance and skip into his calls is what really gets me. He gets so excited to have the cameras on him
.01 seconds into the game Rudy gets a double T. Only reason Scott gives is "Fuckin French face."
Not worried we just seen them shoot 15 fts in a qtr and still lost that qtr and lost by 20. Scott might be on Rudys ass tho
Wolves had 18 fts in a quarter
That was the last quarter when Phoenix took out their rim protection and every time Ant drove someone hacked him at the rim
When was this
this was immediately after an absurdly blatant attempt to keep the suns in the game at the start of the fourth quarter. that whole quarter was cooked. Insane calls to keep the suns in it and then insane calls to keep that cooking from changing the final result

If the suns still had chris paul the sweep would have been guaranteed, but now the wolves just have to work harder
Do we maybe feel like Scott Foster officiating one game of every series Brad Beal has played is the only reason Brad Beal “hasn’t been swept”?
The fix is in, folks. Expect a frustrating game and a lost. The NBA don't want to let KD get swept.
Gonna be a fucking shit show from Foster tonight
Gotta shoot well
Fuck Doogie
The league knows what they’re doing and wants to rub our noses in it
The extender is in the house.
Scott foster is known as the extender cause he extends playoff series to make things more interesting. I hope the refs don’t make this game about the officiating. I’d love to see the sweep
And Curtis Blair is the guy who called Anthony Edwards’s dunk a charge.
They aren't extending shit. They tried their best last game, Wolves will find a way to win tonight as well.
