Talking Trash Conference Finals
First Round

"I thought [Charlie Ward's nine points in the last 4 1/2 minutes were] garbage points at the end. It wasn't the key to the victory. If it was his career high, congratulations."
Anthony Carter
Heat guard, on Ward's 20-point performance in Game 5, which the Knicks won 91-83

"I don't see how [they were garbage points]. We were up [five points] when Charlie made all the big plays, and they were all against [Carter]. He was guarding him, so what's it say about his defense?"
Chris Childs
Knicks guard, in response to Carter's comments

"[Scottie Pippen is] still living off the six rings. But there was a guy named Michael who did that."
Olden Polynice
Jazz center

"I can't let someone intentionally try to hurt me for the sake of winning one basketball game. And that's all they will win is one basketball game."
Reggie Miller
Pacers guard, in reference to his fight with Philly's Matt Geiger in Game 4

"Alonzo [Mourning] is a great player. He's definitely the best center in the East . . . next to me."
Patrick Ewing
Knicks center, as quoted in the New York Daily News
