Amir Johnson was retarded. But, I will say this. Referees need to be punished for losing their temper in like fashion that players are punished. The ref turning to Johnson's face to throw him out was uncalled for. He was essentially taunting him and is lucky he didn't get punched in the head. He should've walked over to the scorer's table and signaled the technical foul and the dismissal.

When a referee has to "show his authority" in any manner other than making the call, he deserves to be punished. There is no need for a ref to ever make a call directed towards a player, and certainly not in such an exaggerated manner as this.

This is ridiculous. The ref has the right to throw him out for acting like a child. So the ref is "lucky" johnson didn't further act like a child and punch him? This guy was throwing a tantrum like a 7 year old. Act like an adult and the ref doesnt have to rub it in his face by throwing him out. These spoiled children in the NBA need to grow up!

Yeah, I don't agree with any of that.

I don't think the ref did anything wrong in that situation.
