The Celtics made it very clear after their Game 2 loss to the Warriors that they are not pleased with how the game was called. Boston wasn’t happy that they weren’t allowed to be as physical as Golden State, especially with Draymond Green bowling over Celtics players whenever he wanted.
Now, Scott Foster will head the crew in Game 3, along with David Guthrie and Courtney Kirkland. “The Extender” is what Foster is called by, won’t be extending anything with the NBA Finals currently tied at 1 – 1.
With Foster, the Celtics are 3 – 1 with him officiating this postseason. He was on the floor when the Celtics completed a first round sweep of the Brooklyn Nets and for Boston wins in Game 4 and Game 7 over the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the last game that Foster worked was the Golden State’s series clinching win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. The Game 3 of officiating will be like Game 1 of the NBA Finals, with the services and presence of Foster involved now, we will hear a lot about the zebras in Game 3.
