Lakers coach Phil Jackson doesn't know why his recent comments upset Thunder forward Kevin Durant.

Los Angeles will face Oklahoma City in the first round of the playoffs.

Jackson said recently that the "referees are treating [Durant] like a superstar." The comment cost him a $35,000 fine from the league.

When informed of the comments, Durant said he felt "disrespected."

"Because it's taking away from what I do," Durant told the Oklahoman. "That's part of my game, getting to the free-throw line and being aggressive. If you say that I get superstar calls or I get babied by the refs, that's just taking away from how I play. That's disrespectful to me."

Jackson said he was just being honest about the game and didn't understand why Durant took offense.

"I really didn't know what he was upset about," Jackson said. "It really wasn't that upsetting. He shot the most free throws in the league; he made the most free throws in the league. He shot the most shots in the league; he made the most shots in the league. I voted for him on the All-Star team; he made the All-Star team. We know he's a great player, congratulations."
