58-year-old veteran referee Foster

Foster becomes a Friend of the Thunder? Another topic of conversation between the Thunder and the Pacers is the 58-year-old veteran referee Foster, who has become a "friend of the Thunder", including the championship G4, as long as he serves as the referee, the Thunder will win all 6 games.

Foster has had a lot of controversy in the past, having been voted "worst referee" by players anonymously, and also has a personal vendetta against Spurs veteran guard Paul, who swallowed a 12-game losing streak when he was in charge. The Pacers coach criticized the ridiculous accusations. Now, Foster's judgment in G4 has been magnified, many people think that he favors the Thunder, Pacers coach Carlisle still supports Foster, "I have known Foster for 30 years, he is an excellent referee, and the ridiculous accusations against him from the outside world are bad, unfair, unjust, and very stupid." ”
