Remember, by the way, that Bynum (apparently at the suggestion of Jim Buss) went away from the Lakers training staff to get his rehab, and his doctors wanted a slower approach.

I have been noticing this for a long time and it has to stop. As good as Gary Vitti is suppose to be, why does our players take the longest to find out what is actually wrong with them? I mean, look at PHX staff, when shaq got there, they were suppose to be working on his injuries and he claimed himself that this was the best med. staff he had ever seen (although how much u want to believe Big-Doofus is one’s choice). I, for one, am tired of this happening to us each and every year.

An Emmy is in your future.

Great point. It happens with every injury, as a fan, I’m tired of it. Why aren’t the people who pay these people tired of it. Every. Single. Time. Either the medical staff is getting more and more incompetent, or the Lakers PR staff is too afraid to completely divulge injuries. I blame the medical staff. Somehow, I just know that 10-14 days for Sasha IS going to turn into 3-4 weeks, then 2-3 months. They either misdiagnose it, treat it incorrectly, or both. I have no faith in the timetables they give us for returns.

But it seems like Sasha can’t have the same kind of problem Kobe had – not being able to use your pinky is different than not being able to use your ankle, and it seems like it would take more than two weeks to heal. But maybe it’s in a place where it can be braced/supported more easily.
