Hornets coach Monty Williams lost his head over how the NBA is handling a head injury to Anthony Davis. The number one overall pick suffered a mild concussion last Friday and has been held out of two games, as per the league's protocol. "It's just that now you treat everybody like they have on white gloves and pink drawers," Williams whined. It sounds like Williams is the one with his New York Knickers in a twist. The league, with its white gloves, reached into Williams' bank account and removed $25K, on Tuesday.
Williams placed blame on the precautionary policies of the NFL pervading the NBA. One glitch in his gripe: there are no helmets in the association. Although cranium contact is less frequent in basketball, players are also less protected, so when it does occur, the collision isn't cushioned by any equipment. If Williams believes Davis should start before he's symptom-free, maybe he should be the one having his head examined.

Exerting Linfluence
1. We have Lincentive to head to the nearest newsstand. Time magazine released its yearly list of the 100 "Most Influential People in the World." Jeremy Lin did double duty, not only earning the honor but also penning an entry about another athlete to achieve the accolade, Tim Tebow, adding another layer to the assessment of this age being "Tebow time." That should Lindoctrinate the unLinformed. Your move, Newsweek, show some Linitiative.
2. Dear Delonte West, you're only supposed to haze rookies on your own team. The expression for an inexperienced person is "wet behind the ears" not wet between the ears.
3. Both went heavy on the lettuce: Hornets head coach Monty Williams, offered this response, when asked if he'd spoken yet with new Hornets owner Tom Benson, "I bought a Subway sandwich today and he spent $300 million." At least one of them made a prudent purchase*.
4.Dwyane Wade's beau, Gabrielle Union, may be the hottest heckler ever. Her barbs are so brash - listen for the one she shouted at senior official Dick Bavetta - that she was asked not to sit courtside anymore. She also shared with Conan O'Brien that Wade hasn't seen many major movies from the 1980s. Well, we know what he has to do on his next Day Off.
5. Houston, we have a huge problem: Less than two weeks ago,the Rockets were in the sixth spot in the Western Conference, but since then they've plummeted to 10th place, losing seven of eight and on Sunday were officially eliminated from the playoff chase by a Miami team missing two-thirds of its "tres grande." Not even North Korean rockets fail that spectacularly.
*Assuming Williams took advantage of the April BOGO special.
