Is Phil Jackson blind?

He is accusing Kevin Durant of getting a lot of calls. Yet Kobe has been getting the same calls for 10 years now. I realize what he said was probably more of a "get in the head of Durant" move than anything else. But seriously. If your going to try and get in someone's head why would you say something so hypocritical and make yourself look like an idiot.

If this was indeed an action to get in Durant's head obviously Phil Jackson is a little more scared of the Thunder than the Thunder fans. Being a Thunder fan I fully expect them to get beat. I expect them to play hard and make a series out of it, but I don't expect them to win.

Is Phil just this naive? If not why did he say this stuff and why doesn't he take a look at his wonderful Kobe and see all the calls he has gotten over the years.

Update:

Like I said, I know this is another one of Phil's mind games. It's just calling the kettle black to say that Durant gets too many calls when his star player gets more crap calls than anyone in the league.

Update 2:

Don't get me wrong I have always thought Phil Jackson is the best coach in NBA history. However I think what he did here was pretty stupid.

    No. If you can't see Phil Jackson's mind games a mile away, I think you are more blind than Phil.

    Well I agree it was kind of disrespectful of Phil to do this, but I dont see why he would need to play mind games. Even if Durant scores 40 a game, the Lakers are going to win this series 4-2, 4-1 or sweep the Thunder. I mean I personally hate the Lakers, but with Bynum coming back, that means Gasol will be playing PF. How the **** is Jeff Green going to gaurd Gasol? Like I said, I completely agree Jackson was being disrespectful, but to say he was trying to play mind games vs a team that has no chance vs the Lakers is illogical to me.

    Bet the NBA Playoffs on Bodog.com

    During the signup process refer me. My code is P155CB20

    If you bet the Thunder to win, you will probably make an incredible profit if they do win, seeing as they are the 8th seed and all.

    Noooo! you're patently observing the small image! Did Malone and Stockton get rings???? They have been interior the excellent 50 and had a great team for a fashion long? It takes extra desirable than only solid or 2 great gamers to get championships! a great preparation team, an wonderful bench and helping solid for one element. each NBA championship team for the final surpassed twenty years had that (different than the warmth final 365 days, they have been ok however the Maves gave them the Championship!). he's a huge coach! I cant say he's the ultimate in activities historic previous cuz i do no longer no lots approximately different activities, yet he's quite like the excellent 3 in NBA historic previous i think of! The Lakers perfect now are so out of wak that they could desire to no longer additionally be interior the excellent 20 communities! Kobe and Jackson gave them that seventh seed! while the Lakers revamp the team, you will see what a solid coach can do!!! The Mavs have a great team, the Suns have a great team, the Nets and the Cave's have a solid team, the Jazz of the Malone and Stockton era had a great team, various communities have and had great communities and did no longer get or have Championships! only like the Mav's chocked the final 2 years, without Jackson, the Bulls and Lakers could have only easily chocked in there victory's with the "Zen grasp"! if certainty be reported, we can on no account understand!!!

    You've got it exactly right. PJ is worried about OKC, and he's playing mind games. Hey, if the Lakers win, it's all good. If they lose.. well, he was going to look stupid anyway, wasn't he?
