LeBron James is 41 years old, OKC just went up 2-0, and the question everybody in LA is already asking out loud: is this the last playoff run of his career? We break down why the Thunder are winning this series in five and what that means for the Lakers going forward. The refs heard the Lakers. Game 3 or Game 4 goes LA. And it still doesn't matter, Thunder in five. Then we get into Mike Trout, who is posting a 1.000 OPS and 11 home runs for a 15-23 Angels team, and why this may be the last real window to trade the greatest West Coast player of his generation before loyalty becomes a cautionary tale. Plus the NCAA just expanded the tournament to 76 teams, and we'll tell you exactly who this was built for (hint: it wasn't Gonzaga). Sharp takes, West Coast bias, backed by data.
