    What was that? Saw that live on tv and I am still confused. Toronto becomes a real mess.

    What an idiot.


    Johnson should be suspended a few games.


    No excuse for that. I'd like to see what he has to say about it though.

    Not defending Johnson, but I think refs do a poor job of calming players down these days.

    everyone grabs the ball after a rebound, over reaction on both sides but Johnson was frustrated from drawing the foul to begin with

    Hickson's facial expression transition is hilarious......

    Hehe...they playing..hehe...ummm...ummmm....this doesn't look good....WTF...

    Idiotic move by Johnson.

    Severe over-reaction by the ref. Power-trip switch went on.

    Dwayne Casey's reaction said it all. What a royal mess in Toronto.

    Remember a few years ago several posters here wanted the Rockets to trade for Amir Johnson when he was with the Pistons?

    The ref probably baited him into it.

    This is just completely unnecessary on both sides. The problem was Johnson wanted to hold/grab the ball but the REF would not let go of it and then it escalated from there because then it becomes an ego issue. I really would like to see the play(s) right before this.

    maybe he said something to the ref, it looks like the ref was already going to the sidelines, and then Ameer says something and the ref turns around quickly and ejects him.

    david jones is a dumbass... just let the guy hold the ball for 2 seconds ffs. It's a traditional move to bounce the ball in between FTs.
