There's no secret what must be stopped when trying to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Houston Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni got a question about preparation for the series vs. the Thunder and he had a great response.

Yes, Russell Westbrook is probably at the top of the list of priorities for the Rockets in the coming days.
The Rockets-Thunder series is one of the most attractive of the first round, pinning up against each other the top two MVP candidates in Westbrook and James Harden.
Both have had historic seasons statistically and have been relied upon more by their teams than nearly any other NBA players in the history of the league.
When comparing that aspect though, most believe Westbrook has less help and tries to do a bit more than Harden. But however you slice it, whichever of the two has the best series will likely be able to lead his team into the next round.
It will be a fascinating matchup that begins tomorrow.
