Tonight's refs are Bill Kennedy, Eric Lewis... and Scott Foster.

How likely is it that Foster ensures this series heads back to Boston tied 2-2?

Look on the road you get a tougher whistle. That's just the reality of human psychology that is unavoidable for refs facing a loud home crowd.
That's not an excuse to lose. The C's need to play well enough for it to even matter, they didn't in game 3.

and if there is a Game 7, I am sure we will see him again! :)

I dont see Scott Foster as an issue like others do around here. Foster just makes the games about himself, he want's to be part of the show.
If Tony Brothers name was announced I'd safely say it's coming back to Boston tied 2-2

Series is now tied. No matter how well Boston plays the NBA will ensure that the game 5 in Boston is the highest rated game of the playoffs. Having a tied series and the chance James goes off for a win is too much for them to turn away.

Yeah I agree. In the regular season I was a ST holder and thought we got terrible calls for a home team, but in the playoffs we have been treated more than fairly at home I think.
It's not about having an excuse to lose, it's a question of does having one of a few notorious refs make it more difficult? Foster 'extended' 4 of the 5 series in rounds 1 and 2 that went 5 games.
EDIT - Game 3 isn't pertinent here. I didn't mention it, and the C's played so badly that a team of 5 refs in Cavs jerseys would have beaten them. My focus is Game 4.

Not good.

And ugh, let me guess. Fosters for Games 4 and 6, Brothers Game 5 and 7? :( ::)

I feel a Mauer/Brothers game coming soon...

Bill Kennedy also hates the Celtics ever since Rondo and Doc feuded with him

If you are the better team, you can win despite of bad calls. Lets hope we show up and hit our shots...

how sad is it I can't tell if this is real or not.
going with 'not' ==> he needs votes in Ohio again so can't see him badmouthing Cavs ;)

You’ll see. In Cleveland with the anointed one? He may get 40 tonight... 40 free throws.

Assuming we win game 4 or game 5, I would be SHOCKED if Brothers was not reffing the very next game (or they give Brothers game 5 even if Cleve wins tonight so that the Cavs have a better shot going home up 3-2).

just saw this thread on reddit as well, just scrolling through some comments to see how others see the refs that aren't Celtics fans
Foster is the ref for Lebron elimination games mainly. Pacers Cavs check. Golden State Cavs check. Virtually every Lebron elimination game is reffed by foster and he generally wins them all with the advantage in free throws. Now that sports betting is legal, its probably a good idea to bet $1000 on any Foster reffed Lebron game.
Joey Crawford was a Lakers man. Lakers were 16-5 in Crawford ref'd playoff games since 2004 in the kobe era. They were 72-51 in all playoff games since 04 = 58%, 76% in Crawford ref'd games.
LBJ is 25-8 in Scott Foster ref'd playoff games in the heat/cavs era. His teams have a 865-737 advantage in FT's in those 33 games

its clearly fake because the President doesn’t reuse nicknames so the “crooked” thing is wrong. He doesn’t use “sad” as an ending and it doesn’t fit there. Also he doesn’t watch nba basketball. And no tweet will ever have 10k retweets and only 3k favorites

According to a Baltimore Sun, players consider him the worst ref by far.
But in bright side, known to favor visiting team over Home team. Not sure if that applies where Lebron is playing though.
