Foster is reffing tonight’s game. Hopefully he lives up to his extender reputation, but I’m not holding my breath.
I was joking with my friends yesterday he would get the call for the game. It's kind of sad the NBA is so obvious with their intentions.
That said happy it's finally working in our favor.

phong rings.............
foster: " hello??"
bavetta: " hey scott, how are you today?"
foster: " hey dick, how are you my old friend, how does 82 feel now?"
bavetta: " cut the crap scott, you know why i am calling."
foster: " ok, ok, what now dick? Is something wrong? "
bavetta: " the call has come down scott. I just got off the phone with adam. I also spoke with Tim but adam does not know about it. Albeit retired, I AM the COMPANY MAN of the NBA and always will be scott. Scott, we need this series to go 7. I do not give two craps about the point spread or point totals over/unders, or anything. We only care about the moneyline and that means we need boston to win tonight."
foster: " but dick, you know we should NOT be......(dick cuts him off)"
bavetta: " shut the heck up scott. the CALL has come in. It is my job to pass it down. You will DO what i tell you TO DO. Do you understand me scott?"
foster: " yes sir mr. bavetta. I understand loud and clear. I will take care of it."
bavetta: " you are a good man scott, make it happen like we used to do. goodbye"
foster: " ok dick, I will"
phone hangs up.
