This week on Cross Court Coverage, Marty the Meatman breaks down a first round that’s turned into a pressure cooker...no easy outs anywhere. Nearly every series is tight, physical, and coming down to small adjustments, and we run through what’s actually shaping these matchups across the league.

From standout performances to early warning signs, this is a full playoff check-in with a Celtics lens; what’s real, what’s noise, and who’s built to survive the grind as Round One heats up.
