When your team is in a playoff game with Scott Foster AND Tony Brothers it’s like watching your baby get dangled out of a window.

My initial reaction to the news Scott Foster is officiating tonight’s game was… oh shit, we’re screwed. Foster’s officiating can be brutally biased. Look no further than the Cavs win over Boston in early March as Exhibit A.
But then I stumbled on an interesting fact: The road team has won 13 of the last 14 playoff games officiated by Foster. That’s a 93% winning percentage dating back to last season.
Maybe, just maybe, Foster gets a simple text message this afternoon that reads: BOS.
