At the very beginning of the 2016-2017 season, Charles Barkley, TNT commentator, predicted the Atlanta Hawks would miss the playoffs after losing Jeff Teague and Al Horford.
The Atlanta Hawks delighted in sharing this clip now that the team is heading to the playoffs Sunday.
The Atlanta Hawks are returning to the NBA Playoffs for an Eastern Conference-best 10th consecutive season and will take on the Washington Wizards in the first round. The Hawks will open the series in Washington for Games 1 & 2 on Sunday, April 16, and Wednesday, April 19, before returning to Atlanta for Games 3 & 4 on Saturday, April 22, and Monday, April 24. Fans at Philips Arena will receive free glow-in-the-dark Hawks t-shirts at Game 3, and custom light-up thunder sticks at Game 4.
