Even during the playoffs, he still wasn't 100 percent," Rivers said.Griffin missed 41 games and logged just five games before the playoffs, where he injured his quadriceps again and point guard Chris Paul went down with a broken hand.The Clippers fourth consecutive season of 50-plus wins ended in another playoff...
