Someone might want to take the microphone out of Masai Ujiri's hands.

The Toronto Raptors general manager was outside the Air Canada Centre on Saturday hyping up the crowd before his team faced off against the Washington Wizards in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference playoff game. And he had Wizards veteran Paul Pierce on his mind.

Earlier this week, Pierce said the Raptors don't have "it," referring to that certain je ne sais quoi that makes a team elite. Well, Ujiri responded in kind to the throng of fans lined up in "Jurassic Park." (WARNING: FOUL LANGUAGE AHEAD.)

Yeah.

This isn't the first time Ujiri has been loose with his lips on the microphone. He drew a $25,000 fine in 2014 when he screamed, "F*** Brooklyn" before the Raptors took on the Nets. Ujiri later apologized for the foul language, but maintained the sentiment behind his statement.
