Jobs are suddenly on the line with the inconsistent nature of this team.

John Collins has always struggled with the length of Milwaukee (and Orlando).

Rough to watch in real time.

Hard to beat this team, even when they made 19 TO (ATL only 9)... now with John not hitting a shot, and Capela playing only 19min while they dominated a bit MIL with him on the floor...
I will watch again his 5 fouls because this season, I saw several games where the refs are calling foul on him like he was a rookie. Dont know if it was the case here, but I will check it

Return to Atlanta Hawks
