Its hard to watch that and not wonder why Frye wasn't able to score consistently and have a bigger impact. I know he was injured and his shooting sucked but his drives to the basket were bloody amazing.

Things I took from the video
Frye looked great as skud mentioned but pity other than his 1on 1 drives nothing else really worked for him.
Every highlight of BJ someone hits the floor
Gibson needs to shoot more.
Ervin in 1 gutsy little fella.
Black uniforms look amazing.
But finally... We are seriously gonna miss Johnson...

"We are seriously gonna miss Johnson"
The last two seasons before this the consistent message on this forum was that DJ was crap.
No D.
Soft.
Easily disheartened.
And a serial Adjuster of his shorts.
During that time I tried to defend DJ each time, quoting his Top 10 - Top 5 scoring and rebound figures.
Sorry but what has changed now?

I think everyone appreciates his offensive skills but for such an agile big people would like more rebounds and blocks.
There wasn't a lot of defensive highlights in the package for DJ.

Great video Coopz. Did you get the players review by chance?

The last two seasons before this the consistent message on this forum was that DJ was crap.A consistent, not the. Obviously a much better coach and a couple of tweaks to the roster meant that defensive pieces around an offensive player made it a successful combination. Prior to that, having DJ combined with Ballinger wasn't particularly effective.
You rated Marty Clark as well @marcuscamby. Enough said.

lol, uh the Marty Clarke days. Back when we were atrociou: last, second to last, last. Back when the players were slow offensively, had no idea what they were doing and had their talent stunted.
Jack, I got it on my phone, but not sure if I'll upload it...
Love your work Coopz!
Any chance of a DVD in the works for the 2002 championship like you did for the others?

361, I was going to tape it, but was too busy laughing. Don't upload it, but it would be good to see it again.
"During that time I tried to defend DJ each time, quoting his Top 10 - Top 5 scoring and rebound figures.

For starters, he improved his FG shooting from 40% in 2012/13 to 53% this season and his three-point shooting from 23% to 40%. His play was efficient and to the benefit of the team, not just getting numbers.
While his defence, attention span and physicality can all still improve quite a bit, he was certainly better in those areas too.

"Sorry but what has changed now?"
1. DJ has improved virtually every aspect of his game, including defense and scoring efficiency, since the Marty Clarke era.
2. The team dynamic has also improved since Joey has taken the helm, making DJ's contributions more noticeable and meaningful e.g. team rebounding has improved, allowing Johnson to run the floor in transition.
3. The direction of refereeing has also benefited Johnson's playing style on both ends.

Player review has made it onto facebook. Will upset a few non- Adelaide fans especially the last item. Good to have a laugh now that it is all done and dusted.

As a cats fans, I thought the players review was very well done, a great laugh after a great season. Good to see sixers taking the piss out of everyone, honestly, its all good fun at the end of the day, but on the court, its war and the fans are passionate.

skud ,E.G - one game At the start of the third, frye drove to the basket and got the first 2 FGs quickly, easy.
Then DJ shot and missed,Ervin shot and missed, Gibson shot and missed.
frye wouldda got plenty if they had passed it.
