Amir Johnson on Pierce's trash-talk: 'It's like Viagra ... to get yourself going'

When it comes to taking shots, Amir Johnson went straight for the jugular.
Washington Wizards veteran Paul Pierce got a tad bit vocal in an interview earlier this week, suggesting that the Toronto Raptors, who the Wizards face in the first round of the playoffs, do not have what it takes to be champions.
Toronto's power forward would not let that shot go unanswered, firing back with a little something of his own on his appearance on the show "Off The Record" on Friday.
