Jazz begin series vs. Rockets with more preparation time this postseason

After 13 games between the Rockets and Jazz in the past two seasons heading into Sunday's Game 1 there would not seem to be much to learn, but Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said he was still learning.

"We have to see how they're going to guard certain plays," D'Antoni said. "Maybe they have something different. Then we'll try to adjust."

Asked if the Jazz had changed much in the previous 13 games between the teams, D'Antoni said, "No. They're the best in the league (defensively.) If it's not broke, don't fix it, right?

The Jazz, however, came into last season's playoff series with just one preparation day after eliminating the Thunder in the first round.
