NBA Playoffs Prediction Thread for 2013. Bonus Points if You Pick Against the Heat & Thunder!

Not much drama surrounding the 2013 NBA playoffs. The Heat are heavy favorites in the East. It could be a 4-4-4 situation. The Thunder, despite a more difficult road in the West, are expected to reach the Finals again.

Boston 4, New York 2
Indiana 4, Atlanta 2

Yeah, Miami is the heavy favorite in the East. However, since Jason promised bonus points for picking someone besides the Heat or Thunder, I am going to assume that is in the form of an actual bonus. Thus, I will pick the washed up team with a coach that likes to piss off the commissioner. Would be no better way to go out.
