The U.S.A. men’s basketball team will begin their journey of domination on Sunday as they take on France in their first official game. I’m going to go ahead and predict that France will lose by 15 or more as the U.S. cruises by with little problem.
However, Tony Parker is no one to sleep on and on court he can certainly command the point. It’s going to be interesting to see how he holds his own against Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Russell Westbrook, who are all younger, trickier and more athletic.
Ronny Turiaft and Boris Diaw will add some U.S. swag to France but the U.S. simply has too much for France to handle. Unless there are Jeremy Lin-type stories waiting to arise off of the French roster, I don’t see it happening.
U.S.A. 110 France 95
