Amir Johnson Fights With Referee Over Dead Ball, Gets Ejected, Throws His Mouth Guard At The Ref

The NBA laughingstock that is the Toronto Raptors continued a parade of clownfoolery tonight as frontcourt star Amir Johnson was ejected from tonight's game in Portland in the third quarter under bizarre circumstances.

After a Trail Blazers free throw, Johnson refused to yield the ball to referee David Jones—eventually being ejected for his insubordination. He didn't improve his situation when he whipped his mouth guard at the referee as teammates attempted to hustle him off the court. (Sadly, we can't see where the mouth guard lands.) It's the kind of outburst we haven't seen since the glory days of 'Sheed. [TSN]
