How does the ref voted worst by coaches and players get to officiate in the playoffs?

No. I think the refs have been pretty terrible in both directions. Ezeli obv hit Dame in the head as well.

he got a T, then Livingston continued to bear down on him and yell "bitch ass muffuka" at him. that's always going to be an ejection.

Good refs give the T, then walk to the scorers table or whatever to let the situation diffuse and let the player calm down (or let his teammates calm him down). Obviously Shaun Livingston is in the wrong, but Scott Foster just wanted the conflict and wanted to toss him. That isn't good officiating.

"It's two guys who are going to be laid back in Washington and Malloy, calling what's calling directly what's in their primary, and you have Foster who tends to get a little wild with the whistle and blow all over the floor, and I think he's going to do that like he does all the time in regard to making sure the road team gets a fair shake... (Foster) is the crew chief. He's going to manage everything. If you see a team that has four team fouls and a team that doesn't have any, you're going to see a guy Scott Foster go up the floor and grab a hand check or impede, a real cheap foul just to get that personal foul up on the board... he'll go into the locker room at halftime and look at a stat sheet and look at the free throws. If the free throws are off a little bit he's going to come out in the third quarter and make sure that team that doesn't have as many free throws gets a couple of cheap ones to try and even things out and see that everyone gets a fair shake."

I know it's hard for the GS slappies but Livingston lost his **** and was deservedly tossed.

that is true, but isn't there independent proof (being Donaghy's word) of a large number of phone calls between the two before games?

Dont have a problem with him being tossed. Have a problem with him missing Shaun getting smacked in the head.

yeah I'm pretty sure there is, and **** Foster anyway. I'm just saying it's silly to take anything Donaghy says too seriously.

So is the rule now that you have to review any foul where the guy falls down? Enough of this.

This game is a disaster. I really hope the officiating gets the media attention and the NBA's attention. Tired of officials allowed to be bad at their jobs with 0 scrutiny.
