Chris Paul has lost, I believe, 12 straight playoff games (that he has actually played in) that Scott Foster has officiated.
I am pretty sure he officiated one of the Laker games we won last year.
EDIT--Wasn't Lakers. It was the other LA team. It was the Valley Oop game. And Paul didn't play, so I think you are right.

BTW, both Brothers and Foster officiated together in Game 6 of the finals last year.

As much as the refs have the potential to be a major character in tonight's story, I still believe in our guys to pull this one out. We're just that much better than we are. If New Orleans had Zion, I'd be more worried about the refs, since he's such a bull in a China shop.

I saw someone say that it's actually 13 straight losses by CP3 in games officiated by Foster. I don't have the time to verify either claim to get the exact number.

I believe the 13 is counting Game 7 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals when Paul didn't play, since the streak used to include games he didn't play until we won the Valley Oop game. After we lost to the Lakers, Paul said, "11 games in a row." So if you subtract Game 7 in 2018 and add the two Finals games, it would be 12.

Thanks
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it's 12 games now. I'm sure that CP3 has all kinds of 12 game loss streaks in his career.

I'm less worried about Chris Paul than I am Ayton and McGee with these officials.
They tend to allow more physicality, which has hurt Paul in the past, but they're also overly performative and prone to making 'I'm in charge here' calls out of no where.

I just wanna see a better effort on the boards, and more importantly a Suns win.

Totally expect Ayton and McGee to be in foul trouble all game. Might get a Bismack sighting.

I guess the message about those offensive rebounds didn't get thru.

Missed the first half of the first quarter, but this is looking more like the series I expected. Ingram is more focused on getting to his spots and taking charge of the offense.
This will be a battle, but not a big deal if the clutch Suns do their thing.
