This isn't going to win many friends.

NEW YORK -- The NBA has spoken with the Los Angeles Lakers about a sexual reference coach Phil Jackson made in a comment following Tuesday night's game in San Antonio.

The Spurs made 13 3-pointers in their 107-92 victory, and Jackson was asked if too much penetration was leading to open outside shooters.

"We call this a 'Brokeback Mountain' game, because there's so much penetration and kickouts," Jackson said. "It was one of those games."

Whoa!

I wonder if people would get so offended if he had made a straight sexual joke?

They made that point on ESPN. If he has said, "We call this a 'basic instinct' game" there wouldn't have been an uproar.

Of course, I wouldn't have laughed as much either.
