Scott Foster will be one of the 3 referees officiating the game tonight. Lebron will go HAM on the FT's tonight.


FYI: Lebron James Vs Indiana Series (first 6 games) averaged 6.3 FTA.


In Game 7 of that series, Lebron shot 16 FT's.


Scott Foster led the officiating in the Heat-Pacers Game 7.


***I don't believe the league is rigged, but prepare to see Lebron or the Heat in general get to the FT line a lot more tonight***

NBA referee Tim Donaghy made repeated phone calls to a second referee at the same time he provided inside information to professional gamblers during the course of the 2006-2007 season, according to court documents and phone records obtained by FOXNews.com.
The records show Donaghy placed 134 calls to referee Scott Foster — more than the 126 calls Donaghy made to his bookie — between October 2006 and April 2007, the period during which he has confessed to either betting on games or passing on game information to gamblers. The majority of the phone calls lasted no more than two minutes and occurred prior to and after games Donaghy officiated and on which he admits wagering.
With the exception of 150 calls Donaghy placed to Thomas Martino, to whom he says he provided “picks” to win games and who was the middleman between the disgraced referee and a bookie named James Battista, the ex-ref phoned no one more than he called Foster. During this period, the most calls Donaghy made to any other referee were 13.

“Scott Foster is the lead official tonight. Heat are 11-1 in the last 12 games he has reffed. The NBA is really doing a good job of mitigating officiating complaints:

Spur fans already got an excuse for losing before tipoff.

Joey Crawford didn't make the spurs choke a 5 point lead with 30 seconds to ring.

People have literally predicted that LeBron would shoot lots of free throws before every single game and it hasn't happened yet....

Happened in Game 7 against the Pacers. Calls that weren't normally called on Hibbert were called all of a sudden putting him in Foul trouble. Again, not a believer of the game being rigged but its interesting to see the correlation sometimes. Best team wins tonight fir sure but something to feed conspiracy theorists out there.

Wade also complained about his knees according to ESPN radio this morning. That said, I think Wade will have a pretty good game tonight, similar to Game 4.

Or you could use the opposite argument, which is that Hibbert should have fouled out every game, which is true, tbh..

That is also true. I was going to post that tbh. Pacers got away with murder there and in some ways, though officiating has been good in this series, I feel like Lebron got the short end of the stick as well.
