Before the Heat took on the Atlanta Hawks last night, TNT analyst Charles Barkley picked Miami to win and backed it up with cash!
"They're gonna beat the Hawks. Come on, the Hawks stink," Barkley told Shaq, and bet "a billion dollars!"
A few hours later, the Hawks win 116-105, punch their ticket to the Eastern Confrence Playoffs to face the Celtics, and Shaq reminded Chuck of his bet.
Miami shot 42.9 percent from the floor and the Hawks outrebounded the Heat 63-39 with 22 on the offensive glass.
Now the Heat have to wait and see who wins between the Chicago Bulls and the Toronto Raptors tonight, to find out who they play to hold on to an 8 spot in the tournament.
