FIRE GARY VITTI AND HIS STAFF

I know he's a Laker icon, and that he's been with the team forever...and most of us even remember that man perm he used to have in the 80's....but why the eff are we the only team consistently plagued with ankle injuries. We take the worst preventative measures for injuries of any team in the league. Every single year we're fighting ankle sprains, and then you see teams like the Phoenix Suns get a full season out of Grant Hill and find a way to rejuvenate Shaq. It's time to re-vamp the training staff because this is ridiculous.

How about players watch where they step.

This is ridiculous.

It's Gary Vitti's fault that Pau stepped on Radmanovic's foot? That Bynum stepped on Odom's? That Ariza stepped on Fisher's (or Odom's, depending on the story)?

1. Pau started the season in Memphis recovering from a sprained ankle, and also missed games due to a sprained toe and sore back/back spasms.

2. Bynum didn't sprain his ankle, he sprained his knee - and he's had some history with knee troubles

3. Ariza had ankle problems back in October, when he was with the Magic. He's an athletic player, ankle injuries aren't uncommon for the way he plays.

I'm going to lock this, because this is mostly irrational venting.
