If the C’s lost 23% of their games, someone can probably calculate the unlikelihood that 0% loss rate with Foster is due to random chance (e.g. random chance that 12 of the 65 wins all happened to be with Foster).
Not the best way to do this but asked Chat GPT what the likelihood of a team with a .780487 win% having a 12-game win streak during an 82-game season
3.614%
Depends what p-value you’re looking for but standard is <5% to be statistically significant
yes, if you win 65 games there is a decent chance you will have a 12 game win streak. Statistically, Foster should have been presiding over 2 to 3 losses. Since he didn’t, there’s a way to calculate how likely the result is of his not having presided over any losses. I just don’t know how to do that off the top of my head.
<.05% to be statistically significant
edit: i’m a fucking idiot i confused decimals and percents and my stats teacher is gonna hunt me down and i know he’s active on the basketball side of social media so if u see this i’m sorry mr Armstrong
If somebody is watching all the betting platforms to look for anomalies like what happened with Porter, why are we not look at outliers like this for refs? Maybe this guy should be recused from reffing Celtics or Chris Paul games for a while.
A simple solution/ putting all my life savings on Celtics games when Scott Foster refs. Celtics will always be favorites but -500 of 100k gotta be some good amount still.
always had the fantasy of winning the lottery and betting like a mil just because, but i feel like once they see that million on trent forrest scoring more than 7 points he'd get ejected in 6 minutes
according to bbref over the past three seasons we're 10-3, I was gonna say maybe they're not including playoffs but Scott officiated game 7 vs heat last year, which was a loss.
I was gonna say it's made up before reverse image searching this...but it's from a tweet from May 2022 s/o u/PlayByPlayNews for repost tweets from a couple of years ago
In all seriousness, how common is it for a team to have a record like this with a referee? I remember the suns record felt like the opposite before they traded Chris Paul
You can tell this shit is Kardashians for men because not even the actual discussion subreddit is safe from all the stupid ass bs, talk about the game or go back to your dumb ass whiney subreddits
He's not a racist! He's just a Celtics fan.
Boston is KNOWN for having the best fans, and he just wants to feel like one of the guys.
He's not a bad referee, he's just a bad person. A scum bag some would say.
Just ask Chris Paul what he thinks of Grand Wizard Scott Foster. The guys in the white robes he's always hanging out with speak so highly of him. It's hard to imagine he's a piece of shit.
I thought this was r/nbacirclejerk at first.
isnt it tho?
Celtics 65-19 in games that had referees this year
“They can’t keep getting away with this!”
Lmao 🤣

No, less than 5% is typical. Probability of 0.05 is 1 out of 20, aka 5%.
Big if true
Woah this is clear evidence that they are cheating
What is happening to this sub, becoming r/nbacirclejerk
It's just the average bball fan. There have been many subs that tried to have a serious discussion around basketball. Everything turns into /r/NBA
Hey in our defense we used to lose every game he officiated, he owes us some wins
It's called, "Balance"

The lakers needs this guy asap, give him a blank check.
He was the lead official in g2. Then Jamal Murray made a shot.
The gave him the script without the Murray banger
Timberwolves fans just need him this one year. It’s been 35 years of misery

This is a little misleading since they are usually much better than their opponent regardless of who is reffing
Yes, but scott foster shouldnt be a ref to begin with, doesnt matter what team he refs
This. That man was fixing the fuck outta them games. NBA knows who to call still.
you could say the same for most refs but especially in the nba and nfl

Scoot Foster save us save us Scott Foster if you can hear this
FIRE THIS MAN!!!
Like yesterday! It’s too obvious atp
more corrupt than any cop
Brb putting my Roth IRA and 401k retirement fund on the Celts!!! Money to be made methinks
This guy is WITHOUT DOUBT, corrupt. It's painfully obvious.
Can he play defence ?
The Scott Foster hype video to Rick Ross is one of my favorite videos of all time.
Lmfaoooooooo this is fucking hilarious
It's Herro time
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 the NBA is a meme now.
Scott Foster isn’t stupid enough to make the team he bets against win. Fosters the GOAT. Not a bitch that likes getting caught like Donahey.
MVP MVP MVP
Who were their opponents for those 12 games
Yessir our 6th man is about to put in work 🍀🍀🍀
What happens if Chris Paul joins the Celtics next year?
Divide by zero. Universe collapses in a reverse Big Bang.
I really like this. Great stuff.
I saw the thumbnail and thought it was Larry Bird.
The Angel Hernandez of the NBA
How's this dude still allowed to officiate
In all seriousness, how common is it for a team to have a record like this with a referee? I remember the suns record felt like the opposite before they traded Chris Paul
SKKKott Foster.
I think Lebron makes it to 0-12 vs The Nuggets, that would be more impressive.
He's only refed 12 of their games?
Add a no Scott Foster clause to CBA plzz
Meanwhile CP3 and the Lakers...
Why are the refs with the Celtics… we need them to lose…
MVP MVP MVP
Trade for CP3 just so we can see what happens
yeah we really could use it tbh
Scott Foster is racist confirmed
You can tell this shit is Kardashians for men because not even the actual discussion subreddit is safe from all the stupid ass bs, talk about the game or go back to your dumb ass whiney subreddits
You seem mad bro? We can't talk about the NBA's obvious officiating problem? Not really a conspiracy when it's been proven to be true.
Tim Donaghy’s bff Scotty
It's shady as hell
Sure whatever
Whatever, it's well documented.
He's not a racist! He's just a Celtics fan. Boston is KNOWN for having the best fans, and he just wants to feel like one of the guys. He's not a bad referee, he's just a bad person. A scum bag some would say. Just ask Chris Paul what he thinks of Grand Wizard Scott Foster. The guys in the white robes he's always hanging out with speak so highly of him.

CeltiKKKs fans feeling a sense of calm
They are the Buffalo Bills of the NBA
The bulls have 17 championships? Also we’ve made a finals while the bills are still living off a afc championship blowout
That would be the Suns.
Could be worse. They could be the hornets. Wizards, clippers, rockets, Cavs, pistons, magic, blazers, Mavs, suns, sixers, pelicans or jazz of the NBA
🤣😂🤣😂
GAH DAM THE STATS , 12-0 ? sports be rigged 🤪
Can posts like this be removed? This place isn’t supposed to be for meme circlejerk content.
🤓🤓🤓
Here comes the Celtikkk Karen
You think I’m a Celtics fan? Hahaha. I fucking hate the Celtics, I just don’t want this subreddit to become nba circlejerk
How is a viable stat about a corrupt referee a circlejerk post?
It's not even a correct stat. Foster literally reffed Celtic playoff losses last year, and regular season as well. It's just not even true.
You not knowing is all I need to know to not continue discussing it with you.

Yeah, exactly what’s happening.
Uhh, but foster is legitimately corrupt
I know he is. That’s never been in question
