He really knows Argentina, and he's brought it up two or three times. He brings it up in the context that if we're up 30, 40 points, we need to work on our game. We can't worry about the score because when we play a team like Argentina, we're going to have to play our game. We're going to need to run our sets, so let's get away from all the highlight stuff and throwing bad passes, because they're a good team and it won't be like that.

Somebody said he did it in college. They had tape.Elton Brand
They're aggressive, so we wanted to go hard at them, get to the line and knock down our free throws so that we'd be in a position to win the game.

Elton Brand

It was our getaway game, so we wanted to get this victory.
