Open mouth, remove wallet

Phil Jackson's comments about the NBA's ``witch hunt'' and ``vendetta'' against Kobe Bryant proved to be costly to the Lakers. We just got the e-mail Thursday afternoon from the NBA that Jackson was fined $50,000 for his comments and the Lakers were fined another $50,000 as an organization for them.

Jackson was fined $25,000 earlier this season for disparaging the referee crew that worked a loss in Utah. That brings the total of fines Jackson has incurred to $150,000 in two seasons. He was fined $25,000 last season for violating the NBA's anti-tampering rules by making comments about Toronto's Chris Bosh.
