The San Antonio Spurs finally begin the second round of the playoffs Tuesday and their opponents, the Los Angeles Clippers are going to be going in to the series at least a quarter of a man down.  The Associated Press reports Blake Griffin will play, but if you ask Griffin he's operating between "75 and 80 percent." Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro was a little more pessimistic about the injury.

"Del Negro said Griffin's injury is the kind that might sideline him for a week  if this were the regular season. Del Negro said a decision on Griffin won't be made until Tuesday." 

Let's get one thing out of the way here.  Griffin is playing.  It's the playoffs and you don't miss playoff games unless you absolutely have to.
