Luc Mbah a Moute Tags Himself at 'Jazz Funeral' in Instagram Post

As if a championship wasn't enough motivation, Houston Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute just gave the Utah Jazz some serious bulletin-board material.

Utah eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder with a 96-91 victory in Game 6 on Friday night. Winning that series earned the Jazz a second-round showdown with the Rockets—but it doesn't appear as though top-seeded Houston is overly worried about its opponent.

At least Mbah a Moute isn't, as ESPN's Rachel Nichols pointed out:

The 31-year-old forward has since removed the post.

According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, Mbah a Moute is optimistic that he will be able to play when the Rockets take the court in Game 1 on Sunday. He missed the first round because of a dislocated right shoulder.
