I have to disagree with you here.

I actually feel RJ may be an important key in this series. There is ONE thing that RJ does well and thats drive to the basket. If he can get that doing, and get the Cavs BIGS in foul trouble early, the Knicks can easily win this game.
Outside of Allen and Mobley, the Cavs lack quality big men on the bench. As a matter of fact, Cavs bench players overall are pretty bad. Get them out of them game early, that will (hopefully) disrupt their rhythm and the Knicks should be alright tonight

That can really work, but it also depends on how the refs call it. In game one they just let us play.

I never thought of this but I think that's already what happened.
