The seventh segment of Tim's Take on Sports aired on April 19 and featured a reprise role from former colleague David Lopez. We discussed the opening games of the 2011 NBA playoffs, breaking down the results and discussing the upsets that ensued over the weekend. We also talked baseball, particularly on Carl Crawford's struggles in Boston, and the implications of teams signing marquee players to lucrative deals. Lastly, we discussed the future for slugger Manny Ramirez and his chances on getting his name on the Hall of Fame ballot after testing positive for steroids for the second time in three seasons. I dig deeper into the opening games of the NBA playoffs, and discuss recent news around Cornell athletics.
