Together We Thrill from Asphalt Chronicles on Vimeo.
yesterday’s game was a night to remember at together we chill! major electricity among the crowd and players. thrills & chills in bunches. the first game of the semi-finals saw kareem reed’s & a-butta’s squad “piff unit” go up against the talented youngsters from “t.o.s.”. an incredible energy spread from the court, as each move by harlem’s own kareem “big game” reid and adrian “a-butta” walton was celebrated by the hyped crowd. piff unit lead by 10 til the end of the 4th quarter, but t.o.s. hustled back into the game with ferocious full court d – and came up with some valuable possessions. piff unit was still ahead by one point (78:79) with just 25.3 seconds left on the clock. kareem reid sliced thru the paint and finished with a beautiful teardrop, bucket! 78:81. then t.o.s. got fouled in traffic but only connected once from the charity stripe. but t.o.s. hustles up the rebound with just 5 seconds remaining. one pick for the point guard, get some space behind the three point line, throw a prayer, bottom of the net! it’s a wrap: 82-81 comeback victory for t.o.s.
next semi-finals tonight at 6pm: don’t miss it at together we chill (119th between 2nd and 3rd avenue).

Kev, the footage is off the hook! I feel like I was at the game. Good stuff! Krispy Kutz needs to watch closely. TOS might not have the star power, but they have the heart and momentum to make anything possible.

Elliot Rosado says:
Honestly some of the best tournaments in the city do not involve Nike, Watson Classic. Together we chill, Hoops in the sun, EBC. That may be a good thing as these Nike sponsored tournaments feel they have to be perfect in order to have Nike continue to support them so instead of catering to the fans they cater to the people at NIke. Just something to think about.

That’s true Elliot, you can feel the difference of atmosphere and vibe on the tournaments you mentioned.

Elliot Rosado says:
Kareem Reid has lost a step but in a big game he’s going to step it up and he’s the one you want with the ball come crunch time. Guarantee to have a big game at Dyckman tonight.

Lets clear this up, Karrem Reid is a season’d vet who can lead your team to a win, he dosent need to score 20 to acomplish this, he can just dish out 15 assists that you have failed to pay attention 2. A Butta’s game flows when he has a line up that works well with him, he’s a two gaurd and not a one so when he plays the one he ends up falling in love with the three. but when he plays the two, well you seen what happend to vince carter
