Nope! He continued by stating that if the Los Angeles Sparks were playing, the Lakers would be 5th.

Barkley also “guaranteed” that the New York Knicks will make the playoffs.
Tuesday was Opening Night of the 2015-16 National Basketball Association season for the Warriors where they unveiled their championship banner and received their rings as a team.
TNT analyst Charles Barkley – flanked by Reggie Miller (left) and Marv Albert – believes the Hawks are not a top five team in the Eastern Conference.
Barkley continued: “Porzingis, he’s obviously a young kid with tremendous upside …” Lopez is a legitimate NBA player, Arron Afflalo is an NBA player, Grant is an NBA player, you got Derrick Williams.
“I’m picking the Knicks to make the playoffs”.
Remember last season when Charles Barkley said the Warriors wouldn’t win a championship because they’re a “jump-shooting team?”
After all of that, you think the Warriors fans forgot about Barkley’s comments? Man, they are loaded. “They have a terrific backcourt, I love [John] Wall and [Bradley] Beal but they have to hope Beal stays healthy”.
