NOT SO TOUGH: Anthony Johnson saw the scowling and even heard some trash-talking from Vince Carter. And all of that seems to make the Pacers point guard laugh. Johnson said yesterday that Carter is acting like a tough guy. "(Carter) was out there trying to play tough, which we all know he's not," Johnson said. "But at the same time, it was no major issue. ... They called an offensive foul on him (during Game 2), he was in my face chirping a little bit. But that doesn't bother me at all."Besides hitting the two game-winning free throws in Game 1, ex-Net Johnson is averaging a team-best 14.5 points, 5.0assists and 5.0 rebounds for the series.

i think it's something everyone knew, but it's funny to hear a player call him out. Vince and C.Webb are in the same boat, imo....guys who make mean and tough faces, but are pretty much pussies.

lol.

anthony johnson is not much of a better player than vince so both should stfu and play the damn game.

Johnson has every right to call him out.

Carter stated in the past he tanked in Toronto. I wouldn't tolerate that shit if I was his team mate.

Johnson is just playing with Vince's head anyway. If Carter comes out trying to prove how tough he is it means Vince isn't concentrating on the game 100%

It's a smart, veteran move by Johnson IMO

Johnson will knock VC around it if comes to it. Beetlejuice has been pretty good this year. Better than Tinsley imho.

anthony is a punk. but so is VC.

Vince Carter, playoff legend!

Carter, who missed all 10 of his shot attempts in the second half, noticed that the Pacers clamped down on defense in the third quarter.
