Are the Knicks Good at Basketball? & Zaslow and Greg Cote Beef | Local Hour | The Dan LeBatard Show

It's a Greg Cote Tuesday! After the Heat dominate the Knicks again, Dan, Greg, and the crew break down how much of this series is about the Heat playing well and how much is the Knicks being very bad at basketball. Dan admits to being wrong about the intangibles mattering for this Heat team. Plus, Stugotz is still gone, we taunt video producer Taylor for his serious Knicks breakdowns, and we discuss the beef between Greg Cote and "The Cooper City Rattlesnake," Jonathan Zaslow.

This show is great WITHOUT Mike Ryan. He is not good for this show. We need Stugotz back. Mike is a 'know it all' who knows little about basketball yet he carries himself as a great basketball analyst. He thinks he is funny. He is not. How can you say Randle is bad at basketball yet he made an all star team. Ridiculous take.

How will they be surprised next round. They beat the #1 team. Lol

[@draven7944]

Miami is the ultimate Mirror team. The Heat play down to crappy teams and play up to the best team. Miami never blows teams out. The Heat will beat the best team but lose to the Magic. So the better the team the Heat play the better Miami is. Sorry Miami isn't scared of Philly or Boston. Neither team wanted to see Miami in round one for a reason ask the Bucks why.
