SportsTim BontempsESPN
BOSTON — As they find themselves on the precipice of the 2022 NBA Finals, the Boston Celtics might find motivation in a series that happened a decade ago.
The Oklahoma City Thunder were near the top of the basketball world in 2012, having reached the Finals with a roster featuring three future MVPs — Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden — all of whom were within their first five years in the league.
When the Thunder lost to the Miami Heat in five games in the Finals, the assumption was it would be the first of many OKC appearances in the NBA’s championship round. They appeared to be a dynasty in the making.
That dynasty never happened.
Harden was traded to the Houston Rockets before the next season began, and year after year, a combination of injuries, bad luck and excruciating playoff losses saw the Thunder fail to return to the Finals before eventually breaking apart.
The lesson? Don’t assume another chance is coming.
That Thunder team is one example of how fleeting the kind of moment the Celtics have in front of them can be. They host the Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) with a chance to close out the series and return to the Finals for the first time in 12 years.
“This is a great opportunity,” Boston’s Jaylen Brown said after the Game 5 victory. “Leave everything on the floor. You don’t want any feelings of regret.”
The Celtics have made it to the East finals six times since that last Finals trip in 2010. This, however, is arguably the closest they have been since they found themselves in the same position a decade ago: heading home to TD Garden after winning Game 5 of the East finals against the Heat to take a 3-2 series lead.
The difference was those Celtics — an aging team led by Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, with one title and another Finals trip under its belt — were going up against LeBron James at his peak. James went on to play the game of his life to deliver Miami a win before the Heat would secure Game 7 and, eventually, beat the Thunder in five games as James won his first championship.
Six years later, the Celtics were in a similar position, leading James — in his second stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers — 3-2 in the series. James dropped 46 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists to tie the series in Game 6, and while then-rookie Jayson Tatum threw down a memorable dunk over James in the fourth quarter in Game 7 in Boston, it was James and Cleveland who prevailed.
“Yeah, it does,” Tatum said with a smile when asked if it feels different to be in this position now than it did four years ago. “I’m a lot better, [Brown] is. We’re just older. And we’ve been through those tough times.”
In 2020, the Celtics ran up against the Heat in the bubble, falling in six games.
This year, the Celtics are the clear favorites. While Boston has dealt with its share of injuries — Robert Williams III‘s recurring knee issues, Marcus Smart‘s right leg injuries and Al Horford missing Game 1 of the series due to NBA COVID-19 health and safety protocols — Miami has been decimated by them.
The Heat’s three best perimeter players — Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro — are either playing with obvious limitations or unable to participate at all. Even if all of them were healthy, the Celtics’ league-leading defense is putting an already suspect Heat half-court offense into a sleeper hold.
“If you want to break through and punch a ticket to the Finals, you’re going to have to do some ridiculously tough stuff,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after Game 5. “Getting on to Boston and figuring that out collectively, those are the emotions and the breakthroughs that you have that you remember the rest of your life.”
Four months ago, none of this seemed possible. Boston was floundering around .500, seemingly meandering its way to a second straight mediocre season. But thanks to the combination of timely transactions, improved health and coach Ime Udoka’s philosophies translating into success on the court, Boston turned into a juggernaut that was the NBA’s best team for the final two-and-a-half months of the regular season.
Now the Celtics find themselves with their best opportunity, after years of knocking on the door, to finally break through.
“Nothing changes,” Udoka said of the team’s mindset heading into Game 6. “We had to come out with the right mentality after a win, and we did that. We want to do the same [in Game 6], close it out at home.”
This is only Tatum’s fifth NBA season, but his third East finals. It’s the fourth for Brown in six seasons, and the fourth for Smart in eight. It’s both a reminder of how much playoff experience Boston’s young core has together, and how hard it is to make it to that final step.
The Celtics hope their experiences will be enough to prepare them for the biggest game of their lives Friday, when they’ll have a chance to punch their ticket back to the Finals.
Like that Thunder team, the Celtics look like a group that could be positioned for an extended run of excellence. Seven of Boston’s top eight rotation players are between the ages of 23 and 28 (Horford, 35, is the lone exception). Five of them are 25 and under.
If Boston does reach the Finals, Tatum and Brown will become the fourth 25-and-under tandem to do so while leading their team in scoring in the past 40 years, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
The other three? Hakeem Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson with the Houston Rockets in 1986, Shaquille O’Neal and Anfernee Hardaway with the Orlando Magic in 1995 and Durant and Westbrook in 2012.
None of those tandems made it back a second time.
“We got an opportunity to do something with this group that’s special,” Brown said. “So let’s not take that for granted. Let’s come out Friday on our home floor, and play the best version of basketball we played all season.”

As details of the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, continue to unfold, San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler on Friday wrote that he is “not okay with the state of this country” and that he “felt like a coward” for not protesting “the lack of delivery on the promise of what our national anthem represents.”
Moving forward, Kapler told reporters on Friday that he doesn’t plan on taking the field for the national anthem “until I feel better about the direction of our country” and that he needs more time to consider specific actions he might suggest be taken to prevent more tragedies of this type, such as stronger gun control laws.
Kapler, in a blog post published earlier Friday on his lifestyle brand website, said he was disappointed in himself for not making some sort of protest during the playing of the national anthem Wednesday.
An 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two teachers Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. In Buffalo, New York, 10 people were killed May 14 when an 18-year-old gunman opened fire in a supermarket. Both gunmen were using AR-15-style assault rifles.
“When I was the same age as the children in Uvalde, my father taught me to stand for the pledge of allegiance when I believed my country was representing its people well or to protest and stay seated when it wasn’t. I don’t believe it is representing us well right now,” Kapler wrote.
“… Every time I place my hand over my heart and remove my hat, I’m participating in a self congratulatory glorification of the ONLY country where these mass shootings take place. On Wednesday, I walked out onto the field, I listened to the announcement as we honored the victims in Uvalde. I bowed my head. I stood for the national anthem. Metallica riffed on City Connect guitars.”
Kapler said he wanted to make some sort of gesture, but said he was conscious that it could be misunderstood as an act meant to be offensive “to the military, to veterans, to themselves.”
“My brain said drop to a knee; my body didn’t listen. I wanted to walk back inside; instead I froze. I felt like a coward. I didn’t want to call attention to myself. I didn’t want to take away from the victims or their families.
“… But I am not okay with the state of this country. I wish I hadn’t let my discomfort compromise my integrity. I wish that I could have demonstrated what I learned from my dad, that when you’re dissatisfied with your country, you let it be known through protest. The home of the brave should encourage this.”
Prior to Friday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park, Kapler said he plans on refusing to take the field for the national anthem to protest the nation’s political direction following this week’s school shooting in Texas.
“I don’t plan on coming out for the anthem going forward until I feel better about the direction of our country,” Kapler told reporters. “I don’t expect it to move the needle necessarily. It’s just something that I feel strongly enough about to take that step.”
Kapler said he “was not in my best place mentally” on the day of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
“I knew that it was in connection with some of the hypocrisies for the national anthem and how it coincided with the moment of silence and how two things didn’t synch up well for me, but I couldn’t make sense of it in real time and it took me a couple of days to pull all my thoughts together,” Kapler said Friday.
Kapler is the latest example of how several notable sports figures — including Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr — have used their platforms over the past few days to plead for action to combat gun violence.
On Thursday, the social media teams for the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees collaborated in an effort to raise awareness about gun violence in the United States. Throughout the game, the teams posted identical facts — attributing where they got them — in concert with each other to their combined 4.25 million followers on Twitter.

Shimla, May 27
Overspeeding and rash driving accounted for 68 per cent of the total road accidents during the past five years (2017-2021) in Himachal.
As many as 5,503 persons were killed and 22,583 were injured in 13,740 accidents of which 9 per cent were hit-and-run cases. Overspeeding and rash driving led to 6,673 and 2,683 accidents while 1,505 accidents were attributed to turning without caution, 866 to dangerous overtaking and 554 to intoxication.
The maximum accidents and fatalities occurred on national highways followed by link roads and state highways and 81 per cent (11,156) accidents were reported in the rural areas while the remaining 19 per cent (2,584) in the urban areas.
As many as 20,387 vehicles were involved in these accidents of which 28 per cent were commercial vehicles. The maximum accidents involved light motor vehicles followed by two-wheelers, trucks and pick-ups. The highest number of 2,318 accidents took place in Kangra district, 2,290 in Shimla and 1,703 in Mandi district.
Road safety and reducing the number of accidents is the priority as deaths in accidents leave families traumatised while injuries lead to permanent disability and immobility, said DGP Sanjay Kundu, adding that evidence-based policing, causality and co-relation analysis and optimisation of resources had led to a decline in accidents and daily average of accidents had come down from 8.5 per cent in 2017 to 6.5 per cent in 2021, despite over 10 per cent yearly increase in the number of vehicles.
Taking cognizance of a large number of road accidents, the police have identified 142 black spots and utilized modern gadgets and the road accident data management system (RADMS) to reduce accidents, besides erecting crash barriers.
Focus is on effective challaning leading to suspension of driving licence of habitual offenders. Challans issued for overspeeding and rash and negligent driving have increased from 3,473 and 7,418 in 2017 to 38,606 and 13,997 in 2021, police sources said.

Top Stories WorldLess than 450km (280 miles) from where a gunman killed 21 people at a primary school in Uvalde, Texas, former United States President Donald Trump has headlined a defiant conference of the pro-gun lobby group, the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Amid growing calls for stronger gun control measures after the massacre in Uvalde, Trump defended the NRA, which rejected calls to cancel its annual convention.
“Every time a disturbed or demented person commits such a hideous crime, there’s always a grotesque effort by some in our society to use the suffering of others to advance their own extreme political agenda,” Trump said at the event in Houston, Texas, referring to gun reform advocates.
“Even more repulsive is their rush to shift blame away from the villains who commit acts of mass violence and to place that blame onto the shoulders of millions of peaceful, law-abiding citizens who belong to organisations such as our wonderful NRA.”
The former president called for beefing up school security instead of focusing on gun reform. “If the United States has $40bn to send to Ukraine, we should be able to do whatever it takes to keep our children safe at home,” he said.

Previous speakers on Friday, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, stressed that regulating guns is not the answer to gun violence. Texas Governor Greg Abbott also addressed the annual event in a video message.
NRA and Republican officials at the event painted the Uvalde attacker as deranged and evil, directing the blame to the gunman himself and away from the ease with which the 18-year-old was able to acquire the semi-automatic rifle he used in the massacre.
Noem said Democratic congressional leaders are calling for more gun laws that “wouldn’t have made any difference in stopping the shooter”.
“They use the tragic situation to push their agenda. And it is all about control. And it is garbage,” she said.
Protesters who oppose the NRA gathered outside the convention centre throughout Friday. Demonstrators held a child-sized coffin and carried photos of the Uvalde victims and signs calling for stronger gun-control measures.
“The time for us to stop the next mass shooting in this country is right now, right here,” Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke told protesters.
Demonstrators chanted “NRA go away” and “Shame, it could be your kids today”, as NRA supporters arrived at the convention hall.

Protester Johnny Mata said the NRA should stop the convention and hold a memorial service for the victims in Uvalde.
“They have the audacity not to cancel in respect of these families,” Mata told the Reuters news agency. The NRA should “quit being a part of the assassination of children in American schools”, he added.
Many critics of the NRA noted that guns were banned from the conference hall during Trump’s speech.
“Guns have been banned from Donald Trump’s speech to the NRA – making it safer from gun violence than most American schools,” Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive commentator and former gubernatorial candidate in Michigan, wrote on Twitter.
Founded by two US civil war veterans in 1871, the NRA is the largest gun lobby group in America.
The organisation, which is influential amongst Republican lawmakers, has become public enemy number one for many Democrats who view it as a driving force behind conservatives’ staunch opposition to gun reform.
While the Second Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees the “right of the people to keep and bear arms”, reform advocates say the government must introduce laws to curb gun violence, which has been on the rise for the past two years.
There have been 214 mass shootings – incidents where four people or more have been shot – in the US so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive database.
Trump, who has not ruled out running for president again, is a strong advocate of the gun rights movement. But when he was in office, his administration banned bump stock devices, attachments that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire more quickly.
At the time, the NRA said it was “disappointed” by the ban, which made it illegal to own bump stocks, forcing people to destroy or surrender them to the government.
The ban came after a gunman killed dozens of people at a country music festival in Las Vegas in 2017.

The World Health Organization said on Friday that it is investigating after 650 probable cases of acute hepatitis from children which have been reported from 33 countries between April 5 and May 26.
A message shared by the WHO states that the cause of the acute hepatitis cases are not known, and said that the cases are “more clinically severe and a higher proportion develops acute liver failure” when compared with previous reports of the illness.
216 of the probable cases were reported from the United States, 222 from the United Kingdom, and the remaining number of cases were reported from Canada, Demark, France, Spain, and other countries.
At least 38 of the probable cases have required liver transplants, and nine have resulted in death, according to the WHO.

The message states that human-to-human transmission of the illness “cannot be ruled out.”
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, which is often caused by a virus such as hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It added in the message that parents and caregivers should “be aware” of hepatitis symptoms, such as “jaundice, which is a yellowing of the skin or eyes.”

Football SportsLiverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has downplayed talk of wanting revenge against Real Madrid in Saturday’s Champions League final, and said that midfielders Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara have given the club a major fitness boost by returning to training.
Mohamed Salah said earlier this month that he wanted to play Madrid in Saturday’s final rather than Manchester City in order to take “revenge” for the 2018 final, which saw Madrid win 3-1 while the Salah was injured in a controversial coming together with Sergio Ramos.

When asked at a news conference on Friday about whether Salah’s comments could have an adverse impact on his performance, Klopp said: “We don’t have to worry about it taking over too much — it’s completely normal. We all lost that day but he did get injured very early in the game — he’s in very good shape but he was then in good shape too.
“It’s a normal feeling we all get and everyone is motivated by different things — I have 26 players here who are all motivated by different things and that’s completely fine. I have no problem with that.
“The only issue is if that is the only motivation but that is not the case in most cases — it’s normal that Mo wants to put things right. We didn’t forget what happened that time but it’s a while ago and we have so many reasons that we should give our absolute everything tomorrow night. That might be one reason but it’s not the only one.”
Madrid will be chasing their 14th European Cup on Saturday, while Liverpool, who last won the trophy in 2019, play in their third Champions League final in five years.
“I have no idea how it will feel if we win it. You have to ask me that question after the game. At the moment we are more in the mood to prepare so that we can give them a real game, a proper fight,” Klopp said.
“[Madrid are] the most decorated club. It’s the team where some players can win it a fifth time. It’s a team where the manager can win it the fourth time. It all says a lot obviously so we cannot buy this experience now or get it overnight.
“The only thing I can say, we feel experienced as well. We are [in the Champions League final] for the third time in five years. That’s special as well. The only thing we think about is how to prepare for the game, how to play the game. I didn’t think for a second about how it would feel because I am patient enough to wait for that moment and tell you then.”
Klopp was facing a potential selection headache as Fabinho missed Liverpool’s final two Premier League matches with a thigh problem, and Thiago limped off from the win at Wolves last weekend with a hamstring injury.
However, the pair have trained this week and are in line to feature on Saturday.
“It looks good for both,” Klopp said. “Fabinho trained completely normal. Thiago trained [on Thursday] with the team. Will train today and then we go from there.”
Andy Robertson echoed Klopp’s comments that Liverpool are more experienced than the 2018 side that suffered defeat in Kyiv.
“We wrote that wrong for ourselves in Madrid the following season,” Robertson said. “That was us getting revenge on the competition as such and becoming winners for the first time. It’s long in the past.”
Liverpool had been hoping they could have completed a historic quadruple on Saturday, having already lifted the Carabao Cup and FA Cup this season, but were denied the Premier League title on the final day of the campaign to City.
Trent Alexander-Arnold said the side have moved on from last weekend’s league title disappointment and are focused on winning their third trophy of the season.
“I think we’ve put Sunday behind us,” Alexander-Arnold said. “We have the experience this season to focus on what’s next.
“We’ve gone all the way in all comps, so we forget about others comps and focus on one we’re in next. [It was] hard to take at the time but it’s behind us.”

Gervonta “Tank” Davis has blossomed into a star with the guidance of Floyd Mayweather, but after seven years, the relationship could be reaching its end.
He meets Rolando “Rolly” Romero in a lightweight bout Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (9 p.m. ET, Showtime PPV), and Davis, 27, has stated it’s the last fight of his multiyear deal with Mayweather Promotions.
“It’s my career, so I feel as though I need to be the one that controls my career. It’s time,” Davis said this week on “The Last Stand Podcast.”
“Everybody don’t need to have them training wheels on them forever. It’s time to ride their own bike without training wheels.”
Despite Davis’ quiet nature, he has developed into one of the biggest stars in boxing, capable of selling out arenas across the U.S. His fight with Romero is his third consecutive PBC on Showtime PPV main event, and his crowds are constantly filled with some of the biggest names in rap and sports.
Romero (14-0, 12 KOs) signed with Mayweather Promotions in 2016 (one year after Davis did) and knows first-hand the power of being attached to a megastar like Mayweather.
“Floyd did a great job with him,” Romero, 26, told ESPN. “Without Floyd, Gervonta Davis is nothing. He may still have his skill set and all this, you know. But as far as marketing, he has zero personality.
“He doesn’t do anything to help the sport of boxing. He’s actually a piece of s— to most people in the boxing world. He just treats people like s—. I really don’t have to go too much into detail.”
Romero is a 5-1 underdog, per Caesars Sportsbook, and with good reason. He’s untested on the top level and is taking a quantum leap in competition with the assignment against Davis.
But Romero is confident his genuine punching power and awkward style will spring the upset.
“First-round KO,” Romero said. “He’s going to walk into something because he’s f—ing stupid. … He should be extremely grateful for Floyd. Floyd didn’t look at him like his fighter. Floyd looked at him like his son.
“He’s ungrateful; Floyd f—ing spoiled him. Like beyond spoiled him. He’s an ungrateful piece of s—. And it’s the truth.”
