Oh she was sad oh she was sad

Oh, she was sad, oh, she was sad. She didn't mean to do it. Certain thrills stay tucked in your limbs, go no further than your fingers, move your legs through their paces, but no more. Certain thrills knock you flat on your sheets on your bed in your room and you fade and they fade. You falter and they're gone, gone. Certain thrills puff off you like smoke rings, some like bell rings growing out, turning brass, steel, gold, till the whole world's filled with the gonging of your thrills. But oh, she was sad, she was just sad, and she didn't mean to do it.

NEW YORK -- George Hill had a headache at the Indiana Pacers shootaround Thursday morning. When some aspirin didn't get rid of it, his team did absolutely the correct and rule -mandated thing, even though it may have put them in some trouble in their playoff series with the New York Knicks. Hill took an elbow from Tyson Chandler in the Pacers' Game 4 victory Tuesday night. It was in the first quarter, away from the ball and there was no foul called. Hill fell down, got up and finished off the finest playoff game of his career over the next two hours, scoring 26 points on 9 -of-14 shooting with four assists. He accepted congratulations from fans and teammates and then went to the locker room and took a shower. With a big smile on his face he went to the postgame interview podium, where he sat under bright lights and talked about his big game as pundits judged his clothes in one of the most affirming moments an NBA player can have these days. On Wednesday, he drove to the airport and flew to New York. And then on Thursday, after the headache wouldn't go away, he was diagnosed with a concussion and was immediately put into the league's relatively new concussion protocol.
