The Washington Wizards booked their spot in the Conference Semifinal stages of the playoffs on Friday night when they defeated the Atlanta Hawks 115-99 at the Phillips Arena.The win for the Wizards ended the first round playoff series between the two sides by a score of 4-2 in Washington's favor, meaning they'll go on to play against the Boston Celtics in the Conference Semifinals which begin on April 30.Wizards' John Wall hyped up the team's success through an Instagram post after the game and even found the opportunity to throw shade at Hawks' Dennis Schroder after what had happened between the two in the past.Wall's picture showed himself dribbling the ball past a shocked Schroder, who was on the floor, with a caption reading: "Pick and choose cause the REAL will never lose !! #5Deep #BYB #WallWay!! DC let's get it !!!!"If you know the context behind this post was more than just the game, you'll understand why the four-time NBA All-Star said what he said.Two years prior, Atlanta eliminated Washington from the playoffs after a competitive second-round series that ended 4-2 in the Hawks' favor. After the game, Schroder posted a picture of himself cheering and walking past a rather disappointed Wall with the following caption:"EASTERN COMFERENCE FINALS !!!!! WE NOT DONE YET !!! 🙏🏿❤️🙏🏿❤️ #TrueToAtlanta #DS17 #SchrodersSwagTeam #HawksRising #HawksNation #TheGoldenPatch #FlexGanG"Obviously, Optimus Dime was finally able to get his revenge on Schroder after two years when he posted 42 points, one rebound, and eight assists on the night against the 23-year-old's 26 points, one rebound, and ten assists. It must have felt good for Wall, as it would be him and the Wizards this time advancing to the next stage of the playoffs, and not Schroder and the Hawks.Schroder wasn't the only Atlanta sports star subject to roasting by Wall, as he also took shots at Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, Quavo of the rap group Migos and rapper Gucci Mane.Wall said to reporters once the game had finished: "I told them I was going to get 35 or more and we was going to win. And we did that.” Bradley Beal, who was next to him said as well: “For the culture.”

It seems Wall has had the last laugh on everyone in Atlanta for the time being, as him and the rest of the Wizards now look on to their Conference Semifinals series against the number one seed in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics.
