Scott Foster aka ‘The Extender’ will be the crew chief for tonight’s Knicks-76ers game

Scott Foster will be the crew chief tonight as the Philadelphia 76ers host the New York Knicks at 9PM at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philly in Game 6 of the NBA playoffs.

If officiating is something that interests you, then tonight’s crew will definitely have you believing that the 76ers’ home court advantage is now elevated to a new level – regardless of how many scumbag New York Knicks fans travel to South Philly for the game. 

‘The Extender’ Scott Foster will be the main man on the whistle tonight at the Wells Fargo Center.

Joining Scott Foster, will be Bill Kennedy and Mark Lindsay and while neither of them is a “personality” that’s notable, Kennedy is an absolute mad man on the replay review.

The officiating crew is relevant because home teams have won 66.1% of games officiated by Foster in the 2023-24 NBA season. On top of that, home teams also outscore road teams by an average of 7PPG with Foster officiating. 

Right now, the Philadelphia 76ers are listed at -3 across all major Sportsbooks. 

I love it. I’m actually feeling pretty confident about tonight’s game and believe that Joel Embiid, in front of a home crowd, is going to feast as a “Foul Merchant” with Foster on the whistle.

Embiid, who was dealing with migraines ahead of Game 5 in New York, doesn’t appear to have any other injuries or issues besides the ones we’re all well aware of for tonight’s game. 

Give me a 40+ point night from Embiid with Maxey right around 30 points to go along with 15+ from Oubre and Harris and we’ll send this series back to Maxey Square Garden for Game 7 on Saturday night.
