They're all really used to Shaq drawing the double, which is why I think Malone and Payton struggled, Payton especially.

Exactly. The problem with Shaq isn't so much the points he scores, but the way he disrupts the game. A lot of that disruption IS the way that he draws multiple coverage. I think the Lakers could have just given him the ball on every possession and made Detroit deal with it. It's just crazy enough to work.
Why'd the Lakers lose? Even with Shaq going 14-16, they shot just under 40%.
Ouch.
