He has to play through even through some bad shooting games and hits to the finger.

Best case scenario,Bynum and Ariza come back healthy Kobe takes alittle lesser role to finish the season maybe even missing some games if Bynum gets rolling again and get ready to crank it up for the playoffs.

I think even if he pushes it and has surgery and misses only 4 weeks we're done.

He has to soldier on and suck it up. Kobe's one of the toughest players in the league, if there's no risk to the finger becoming unhinged and popping off his body he needs to push it.
Agreed. People don't realize how tightly bunched everyone is in the West. One nasty losing streak and it's over. And I would prefer he get the surgery before the Olympics and rest more this summer than the last.
