Name the key differences in those teams sir. Who were the key losses?
Dude when did you even start watching the NBA. Shaq in 2004 was no where near the player he was in 2001. Shaq had a bad toe and ankle issues in 2004 plus he was older.
Also Malone and Payton were the PF and PG on that 2004 team.
The hurt his knee and did not play in the finals (or only played 1 game) vs. The pistons.
