Extremely compelling information! Didn't know much about the David Stern-New York Knicks Draft situation (too young I guess). I do believe that some referees call players more sensitively, if you will.

I believe that the Cavs will have a little more leeway in terms of drawing fouls, especially since they're at home. Of course, we all hope for a more competitive series, but hopefully the Cavs can actually be more cohesive on offense, see Tristan Thompson be more dominant inside (rebounding/defensive coverages), and have more fluid shooting after defenses collapse! Rumors have it that Shumpert will replace JR Smith for the SG position tonight, which will help the Cavs on both ends, in my opinion.

Scheming aside, I just want to see a good, competitive game that comes down to the last few possessions. And ultimately - sweep or not - I hope that the referees don't screw this one up!
