    Say what you want about Brothers but you have to give him credit for working hard in this day and age.

    I respect Adam Silver dictating Game 5. Taking matters into his own hands.

    Jazz had the refs on their side last game and lost because they suck. I don't think it matters at this point.

    I think the whistle will be OK tonight. They are saving their top Tony brother, and the most devasting Foster Brothers combo, for the 2nd round since the Jazz have little chance of coming back from 0-3. Tonight, the NBA is trying to give the illusion of fairness.

    Brothers is probably the worst ref in the league but I don't think he has anything against the Rockets in particular.

    Foster is the only ref where we have enough evidence to say that when he is assigned to one of our games, it means the league wants us to lose the game.

    I don’t believe Scott Foster will ref a Rockets playoff game after harden called him out.

    Let’s say he does ref a Rockets game and he is biased. What would stop harden during the press conference from saying he had phone calls with Tim Donaghy and he thinks this game was rigged.

    Harden is worth 400 million is a 100k fine really a big deal.

    Tilman asked Silver to step in. He needs the revenue from a game 5 back here in Houston.

    the main issue with brothers is he absolutely loves calling offensive fouls, and he literally goes orgasmic when he gets to call em on harden

    if any player including harden even insinuates that the league is rigged they'll get suspended for sure

    Mike Brown is assistant of Kerr now, maybe getting Brothers against the Worriers wouldn't be that bad :D
    maybe that's why Silver put Brothers for this game, to keep Foster available for when it'll matter :(

    I thought the book on Brothers is that he makes calls for the road team. I think he called some of the moving picks on the Rockets (at home) back in the '08 series against the Jazz.

    Harden would have to just be carful with how he says it.

    “We have seen a referee in the past rig games....That’s a fact. Myself and Chris Paul believe Scott Foster who had a lot of communication with that referee has a biased agenda against the Rockets. We would like the NBA to investigate our claims on this matter”.

    Would be pretty cool if we could get everyone to boycott the games Scott Foster refs. I wish I was famous just so I could get the word out lol.

    I have heard this also, I also heard speculation of barroom drunk quality the reason is most all of the fans sitting in the arena are white so he can piss off lots of white people with a puff of breath. I also thought Joey c acted like an ass cause he could and got off on it. I like an official giving the road team a break for whatever reason.
