Atlanta radio hosts Chuck Oliver and Matt Chernoff really, really want the Hawks to win their first NBA title this year. So recently, they went on the air and made an absurd promise to try and motivate their local team. They agreed to spend time in prison—any prison in the entire country—if the Hawks are able to go to the playoffs this year and win the 2015 NBA Finals.

Oliver and Chernoff seem to realize that they might be in danger of having to follow through with their promise, too. At 26-8, the Hawks are currently the best team in the NBA's Eastern Conference and one of the best teams in the entire NBA. There's obviously still a lot of time left in the season. But as of right now, the Hawks have the radio hosts on high alert:
