    Either way, it really doesn't look good for the NBA, Harden 1-14 in Foster Playoff games, Boston 34-2 in Lewis officated games.

    Another reminder that NBA playoff ratings still haven't recovered from the 2018 game 7 Scott Foster masterclass.

    Annoying that this dude always gets Game 7. Foster reffed game 3 also. Sixers lost by 12 at home, to go down 2-1.

    the 76'ers are the better equipped team. Harden needs to step up.

    Game 6 was probably the most one sided non warriors playoff game in years, and today looks like it could be even worse. God i hate silver.

    Pretty cool day for the salvy’s and AS and all the anti harden crowd today, with philly having no shot

    Not really an excuse. Foster hates Harden and Lewis is a Boston fan, and the Celtics have already been getting a lot of calls going their way in the series anyway.

    Officials can shift the momentum of the game by missing easy calls, and we know more than anyone after game 7 against the Warriors.

    He has stepped up. If we're being honest, he's stepped more than anyone against Boston. Yeah, he's had a few poor shooting games here or there, but he's just been missing shots he would normally make.

    Might as well start the next thread already. Harden ain't beating foster.

    I'm already getting ptsd from 2018 and the game hasn't even started yet that's how much I despise Scott foster

    Don’t hate foster, he’s just the instrument. Silver is the one who decides this stuff

    Eric Lewis is officiating today's game. He and his family are big Celtics fans. He officiated the infamous Lebron crying on the ground game where Tatum obviously fouled him on a last second shot but it was not called. Celtics have 34-2 with him officiating. Scott Foster is also officiating and Harden has a horrid record with him (1-14 in the playoffs). That 1 win was when Harden played against Chris Paul who also has a horrible with Foster. This **** is rigged.

    Have you ever considered the fact that maybe if your bearded bum loser hero didn’t shoot 4-16 from the field 0-6 from 3 pt and have 5 turnovers at home your Sixers would have already advanced?
