Phil calls Bynum’s Celtics comment “a brain fart”

PHOENIX — Asked about Andrew Bynum’s phrasing that “it’s going to be amazing to play against those (Boston) guys again,” Phil Jackson said Sunday it was “what we call a brain fart in our business. He wasn’t thinking very clearly right there.”
Bynum’s comment came even before the Celtics took a 3-0 series lead on Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals. Bynum did mention Saturday how the Lakers’ focus was on Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, though.
“Man, it’s going to be amazing to play against those guys again,” Bynum said Saturday. “Especially having lost. We’re going to have a lot of fuel, a lot of ammo to throw at those guys. … They’re definitely a great team. They’ve got great veterans on their squad. We know that. So we already are getting prepared. The first step is closing out Game 3. And after that we’ll be focusing on Boston, looking at them play, watching how they’re playing Orlando, and try and pick up as much as we can.”
Jackson did say that the three days without a game helped the swelling in Bynum’s injured right knee calm down, even if the torn cartilage can only be fixed with surgery.
“That part is better off,” Jackson said.
