USA and seven other teams start their Olympics campaign tomorrow. The 12 countries who are participating in the Olympics have been divided into three different groups. Kevin Durant and Co. have been drawn to group A.

Playing alongside France, Czech Republic and Iran, the USA will have to play three group stage games. These group stage games will determine whether USA make it to the knockout stages or not.

Their first group stage game is against the French side. Starring Rudy Gobert, the French side has some good NBA players in Celtics’ guard Evan Fournier and Clippers’ forward Nicolas Batum.

If the US keep a lackadaisical approach, they had in the exhibition games, this French side can pull off an upset. This game will be played on 25th July and is scheduled for a broadcast of 8:00 AM PST.
