So uhhhhhh this is kind of a big deal no?

Quote:CP3 on Scott Foster: "It's personal. The league knows, everybody knows, there's been a meeting. It's just a situation with my son. Im ok with a ref talking just don't use a tech to get your point across...Just know I had a meeting with him, my dad, Doc Rivers, Bob Delaney. Since the Clippers"
Quote:[Andrews] Paul on getting ejected by Foster: "We had a situation years ago and it's personal ... don't use a tech to get your point across. He says there was situation with his son and there was a meeting while he was with the Clippers with himself, Foster, Doc Rivers, and Paul's dad.
They had a meeting with the NBA?? Does this not call into question the integrity of any game Scott Foster has reffed if he's giving biased treatment to players for personal grudges?

Haberstroh wrote an article detailing just how often CP3 loses when Foster is reffing. He writes:
Quote:Chris Paul’s teams have been favored in 15 of 20 playoff games with Foster officiating. They went 3-17 and lost by an average of 11.2 points.
Another article detailing just the sheer amount of lopsidedness whenever Paul is officiated by Foster:

The system is broken. And they aren't even trying to fix or hide it. It would be easy to avoid the never ending conspiracies if they would let a third party take over or at least come up with strict conflict of interest rules. Most recent example. 2023 finals. No matter what happens on the floor it is not a good look to have a highschool teammate of Udonis Haslem as the lead official of a Heat game.

Maybe the President of the NBAPA should have a word with himself for trying to intentionally end Mike Conley´s career. Funny that it´s always the guys that get away with the most BS that cry foul the loudest. At least he´s now on the right team.
Of course the refs are biased and that´s how the NBA likes them best, so they can influence the outcome of play-off games via their ref appointments.

I watched the interaction. Chris Paul clearly fouled Durant. He then argued with Scott Foster for at least 30 seconds as Durant was shooting free throws. I thought Foster was handling it remarkably well at first. Chris Paul kept arguing so he was ejected. Is the official supposed to stop the game so Chris Paul can keep complaining?
I don't know exactly what was said. Good officials will give respectful players a brief explanation of the call. It's not a debate though. Chris Paul is a jackass and argues every call. Chris Paul should argue with Draymond Green instead. We'll see how that ends for him.
