The Olympic men’s basketball tournament is underway, entering day four of competition. Here’s where you can find all of your streaming and cable info to tune in. 

Basketball is finally heating up, which is needed after the close of the 3×3 tournament. Although you could argue that it’s been a borderline strugglebus, specifically for Team USA men’s hoops, it’s starting to get a bit more competitive.

France, Germany, the U.S. and Australia closed out with Ws on the 28th. But the question lies in who will close out on the podium come the end of the tournament? That’s quite a ways away, but we can always speculate.

With Team USA’s 50+ point win over Iran in the wee hours of the morning, there’s been a bit more confidence in the how the men will fair throughout the tournament. Things finally seem to be clicking, but you have to expect the unexpected in situations like this.

With Australia and France both getting wins, you can’t rule out the fact that they may want a piece of the U.S. in future rounds, especially if they’ve already beaten them once. Team USA also has to take on the Czech Republic, another team that’s given them grief in exhibition.

But I have a little bit of faith in the men. While it may not be a sweeping win streak, it will be a win streak nonetheless. The podium will definitely see KD and the gang holding a medal come August.
