nba ref twitter is always a good time...
Since 2015, the Warriors' record in the playoffs:-When Scott Foster is officiating their game = 7-7-When Scott Foster is not officiating their game = 48-10 https://t.co/jlbBuELwJ3— Drew Shiller (@DrewShiller) May 13, 2018
Did you bother to check the other side? In the last two seasons, the Rockets' record in the playoffs:-When Scott Foster is officiating their game = 0-4-When Scott Foster is not officiating their game = 14-3 https://t.co/DDz3j8fvk2— ClutchFans (@clutchfans) May 14, 2018
everyone does hate scott foster tho. cp called him out directly this season after he got Td up (for nothing):
"Yeah, Scott Foster at his finest," Paul said. "You know what I mean? He just never fails."Some of them, you can communicate with. You've just gotta figure out who you can and you can't. I got a tech tonight. I'm over there with referee Courtney Kirkland saying, 'That's Scott, that's Scott,' and I got a tech. That's history there. He the man. That's who they pay to see.""There's got to be a way that we have dialogue and stuff like that. I don't know, good ol' Scott Foster, though. That guy ..."

sounds like lue is contemplating starting tristan against horford. not sure if tristan's still got it, but he destroyed horford in the cavs/hawks series a few years ago

C’s up 1-0 in the ecf is definitely what we all predicted five minutes into the first quarter of the first game of the season right

In a series played at this level, the reffing will almost always look horrible at times. It's part of the game.

game 1 at home rockets playing like this is...not a good sign

NBA should institute a 1 pt penalty for every complaint about a call or non-call just for this series.

it's amazing how the rockets just crater when capela isn't in the game

that game was some boring ass iso basketball
― micah, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 10:56 (six years ago) link
i really enjoyed that game actually. there was..... a lot of iso-ing but a good pace and some pretty fun back and forth shot making
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 May 2018 13:21 (six years ago) link
i didn't find it aesthetically pleasing but fascinating to watch all the mismatch hunting.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 13:25 (six years ago) link
that game was a pretty tidy illustration of the problem with playing the warriors... the rockets pretty much matched the warriors two best players last night (KD & klay) but man did the rockets role players look not ready for that stage/intensity at all. i guess it was an unusually weird game for ariza and he's Been There Before but damn they were shooting shit off the sides of the backboard and shit. i guess there will be games where gordon and ariza play well and they look legit but that looked a lot less like a team ready to push the warriors to the brink than i thought. and capela did not seem to make an impact last night aside from a few blocks.

it was a little odd that both teams were doing that from the jump. i guess it speaks to the intensity of the series but that kinda relentless hunting feels more like something from a game 6 to me or something.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 May 2018 13:29 (six years ago) link
not every postgame thing i've read agrees but i thought capela was good at limiting draymond's help defense. draymond could not roam off of him out of fear of the lob. i felt like when capela was out of the game draymond started to get really disruptive on harden.

i think this makes some interesting points about the rockets style of play
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:37 (six years ago) link
yeah the rockets deciding to make the fewest passes in the entire league was an interesting choice
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:41 (six years ago) link
hot potato ball movement is such a hallmark of championship teams
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:42 (six years ago) link
and it makes great one on one players like harden and paul that much more effective when they receive the ball with a positional advantage
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:43 (six years ago) link
i turned on the game last night in the early second half and the warriors were only up by a few but it still had a total stressful horror movie vibe so i turned it off
― sprout god (lag∞n), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:45 (six years ago) link
also i hadn't really thought about the idea that hunting steph out when the warriors are on defense isn't as really as effective when harden is just iso-ing him at the top of the key
