Yeah, I don't think Kidd has the clout at this point in his career to play mind-games with the refs. I'm sure they'll just roll their eyes and, if anything, call it even tighter on Brooklyn. Casey alluded early in the series to being displeased with the referees early on, but avoided calling out an individual ref, which is far more effective, as things that were going unnoticed early on (Pierce's frequent travels, for example), are being called now.
