I missed the play on Tucker. It looks like it was ruled a flagrant 1. Any comments on what he did?

Tucker definitely was definitely on the margin of being ejected with the hand in the face.

Jazz say Danté Exum (left hamstring soreness) will not return tonight.

With Dante Exum done for the game: Harden is 1-11 FG when Exum is his primary defender this series and shooting 49% against all other defenders.

It seems like the Rockets get every key rebound tonight. It's almost like they want it more.

Capela's play has been huge on defense.

The Rockets are not going to let him go.

Final:

Rockets 100 - Jazz 87

Rockets lead series 3-1.

I think he actually had 6 blocks he had like 3 in the last couple of minutes there.

Is Capella gonna be an UFA?
If the Suns could add him and a top PG they're a playoff team.

Restricted. They will match any offer for sure.

You don't want Capella

D'Antoni system makes lanky big men look better than they are no thanks

 

[leclerc]

Tucker should not have to do that

Dantoni's system might have made Capela more valuable but I wanted him before he was drafted. And I still want him, though probably not at the salary he's looking for. He's always been limited offensively but he's very efficient and that pre-dates the Dantoni effect so he appears to know his limitations.

I think Steven Hunter fits this description although he didn't endear himself to the D'Antoni system. However, Capela is a much better player.

DA used to like big men that can shoot from the outside to spread the court otherwise he didn't like them.

It looks like DA has adapted his system to include a defensive big man. This is something I wanted from him when he still coached the Suns.

What I'm saying, DA didn't always make big men look better.

Sources: Utah guard Dante Exum will be day-to-day with a strained left hamstring after MRI and further evaluation Monday. He suffered the injury in Game 4.

The Jazz are done. Better for us though. My understanding is a lot of our guys are working out in Phoenix and Coach K will be coming to Phoenix soon after the Jazz are eliminated and start working with the guys and letting them know what to work on this summer.

 

[sunsfan88]

Raptors are a good playoff team to hire coaches from considering you never have to wait very long till their season ends.

Might as well see if John Stockton has one more game in him.
