Hawks troll Barkley for predicting they'd miss playoffs
Atlanta Hawks/Twitter
Charles Barkley didn't have high expectations for the Atlanta Hawks heading into the season, stating on air that they didn't belong in the playoff discussion after losing Jeff Teague and Al Horford.
The Hawks proved Barkley wrong, clinching the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference with a 43-39 record, and sent this tweet Thursday reminding him of that.

The NBA on TNT's Twitter account also had some fun at Barkley's expense.
