2011 NBA Playoff Schedule Has the San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies Ready To Tip Off At 1 PM ET
The San Antonio Spurs relinquished the league's best record at season's end while the Memphis Grizzlies lost two straight just to make sure they got a shot at the Spurs.
San Antonio will not take that lightly.
The question remains though, will they be at full strength?
The Spurs second leading scorer, Manu Ginobili, was injured Wednesday in the season finale and has been listed as doubftul.
According to an AP report, Manu's teammate, Tony Parker, fully expects to see his teammate on the court with him today.
The report reads, "Tony Parker said Saturday he's feels it's 'almost impossible' that his All-Star teammate won't play Sunday."

Whether Ginobili plays or not the Spurs are still a heavy favorite over the Grizzlies, a franchise that has never won a playoff game.
The Spurs and Grizzlies split the season series at two, but winning in San Antonio will be a tough feat.
San Antonio only lost five games all season at home and Memphis' two wins over the Spurs came on their own home court.
The game is the first of a possible seven games that could stretch two weeks in length if the series goes the distance.
The older Spurs team will likely look to take care of business quick so they can get ample rest heading into the second round.
