No Shaq didn't play. Regardless, Shaq or no Shaq, absolutely PITIFUL game for the Lakers. Absolutely no excuse for losing to the worst team in the NBA twice in one year. But hey, it's good to know that whole 4-game "winning" streak thing is over with, and the Lakers are back to the business of being the Lakers, the most generous team in the NBA.
"The Los Angeles Lakers, cheering up crappy teams in the NBA. Why? Because we care."
