On a series of thirteen consecutive defeats when Scott Foster referees his Playoff matches, Chris Paul has finally come to the end. It would have been a shame not to get there before the end of his career. This is an excellent thing done.
He did it ! Chris Paul has conquered his demons, or rather, his demon in the NBA: Scott Foster. Reputed to be the worst referee in the NBA, still “winner” of this title in the recent survey of The Athletic, he and the Point God have a complicated relationship. In each match of CP3 Playoffs on which Foster was assigned as main referee, the outcome remained the same: defeat for the team of Chris Paul. And this for thirteen consecutive matches. From his debut with the New Orleans Hornets, to very recently with the Suns. Fortunately, all that is behind him: Phoenix beat the Clippers last night in Game 2… with Scott Foster on the whistle. In addition to an important victory that saves the Suns from almost certain elimination, CP3 wins a very personal match. Even if apparently, this end of series did not cross his mind.
“I hadn’t noticed it. – Chris Paul, on the stat with Scott Foster
Now that this curse is behind him, Chris Paul can focus on what matters most, namely the Playoffs and this series against the Clippers. To regain their home court advantage, the Suns must win at least one of the two games in LA. And even if we count more on Devin Booker or Kevin Durant to make the team win, Chris Paul also has his role to play in the creation. Even on the shoot, as we saw in Game 2 with his dagger two minutes from the end of the 3-point game, to give the Suns a 12-point lead.
“Please! Please!” ????????

Upcoming trip this Thursday evening in Los Angeles. And even if it would be surprising to see Scott Foster again for a second game in a row, Chris Paul no longer fears him. He is now released.
