03:58 PM ET 12.12 | Toronto Raptors big man Amir Johnson was suspended for one game for throwing a mouthpiece at an official during the Raptors' 92-74 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night. Johnson was ejected for wrestling with an official for the ball, and on his way out, he tossed his mouthpiece in the direction of that referee. "I guess the ref didn't let me have the ball so we kind of got into a tug of war," Johnson said after the incident. "No words were really said and he rejected me out of the game and I kind of lost my cool from there."

Hope you treat the Raptors fans slightly better then others treated you and your ilk when NY was the laughing stock of the league.

Stich - Only saw the replay but sheesh that was a little over the top form this kid....

It's frustration from loosing, I believe.
He is normally a calm guy.

It was actually really odd how it escalated...on both sides; ref and Amir...just weird.
