NEW YORK (AP) - 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."

The 2005 film, which won three Oscars, depicts two cowboys who conceal their homosexual affair.

"The remarks are in poor taste, and the Lakers have assured us such remarks will not occur in the future," league spokesman Brian McIntyre said.

Because the press can't find a cliff without a map and they can't read a map?

He made a reference to a movie.

What a bunch of nothing.

The Brokeback Mountain media and the pantywaist leftist PC crowd are becoming more and more a joke everyday.

The league was reacting to a complaint filed by GLAND.

NBA can’t fine Jackson, or he’d have a slam dunk first amendment case.
