With the exciting first round of the NBA playoffs coming to a close, and the upcoming second round promising to be even more thrilling , I took some time to chat with Mark Magnuson from the Sports Dude radio show on 90.3 KRNU at the University of Nebraska about a wide range of topics.

Some of the major issues we addressed include:

* The hard fouls committed by both Dwight Howard and Rajon Rondo
* The winner of the closely contested Bulls/Celtics series
* The meltdown of the New Orleans Hornets
* A preview of the upcoming Mavericks/Nuggets series
* Predictions for the Washington Wizards next season
