Haven’t we won the last couple Scott foster reffed games? Not saying I’m happy about his being the lead official, but I don’t think it’s quite the story it was last year.

No we lost game 3 and 6 in the finals he reffed and a game against the Lakers

The only game we won in the playoffs that he reffed CP3 was out

We will see if anything changes but in Game 6 of the finals, which we lost by 7. Giannis shot 19 free throws by himself or the equal to the entire Suns team.
We've seen that happen in games that Scott Foster hasn't refereed, so I'm not sure placing the blame on Foster is realistic.

Yes, but when you actually watch the games their an observable difference in the calls he make versus the calls other refs make. Its a common occurrence with Foster as i usually try to ignore how refs influence a suns game. I will say i do notice Foster does get a 'ref you suck' chant in other games too. Maybe he's just overall bad.

He’s definitely bad, but he’s not exponentially worse than any other ref in the league.

Now if he does have some sort of grudge against Chris Paul, that’s a different discussion. I’m just not sure that is a realistic theory.

Javale McGee is in line to sign in, with a few trainers, at banner university hospital right now.

Oh boy…

McGee got Omicron back in late December, didn’t he?

I don’t think it’s Covid related. But he’s there he isn’t limping, he has trainers with him and he’s not in a good mood.

That’s all I’ve got.

Crap. Really hope it’s nothing serious. losing Javale is what I was afraid of when we traded Jalen. One injury away from being right back where we were last year.

Maybe he had a brief case of the dizzies and they are being extremely cautious.

Fingers crossed.

Suns never carry enough big men on their roster.

We knew Dario Saric would be out but Frank Kaminsky and Jalen Smith were never satifactorily replaced.
