Chris Paul of the Phoenix Suns and Foster do not have an excellent track record, to say the least.

Paul's teams have lost 11 straight playoff games when Foster has refereed, and a clip of Paul speaking after the Suns lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the first round (May 27) can be seen in a Tweet below from The Athletic's Anthony Slater.
