Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns will be fighting for their championship lives tonight when they face the Bucks, who lead the series 3-2, in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Well, hours before the game the Suns got some bad news as the NBA announced that Scott Foster will be refereeing the game as the crew chief and that is not good for Paul, not good at all.
Why?
Because he is 0-12 in playoff games that have been officiated by Foster. He even brought up his record with Foster after a Game 3 loss to the Lakers in the first round saying, “If I was a betting man, 11 games in a row. Eleven games in a row.”
So yeah, it’s clearly in his head.
