Subscribe to The Kevin O’Connor Show
Kevin O’Connor is joined by the one and only Nick Wright of FS1 to put a bow on the Los Angeles Lakers’ 2024-25 season. Nick didn’t expect things to end so early and abruptly for LeBron James and Luka Doncic, but here we are. Where did things go wrong? Nick thinks you can point at JJ Redick’s Head Coaching decisions in the Playoffs, and he’s noticing a disturbing pattern emerge with JJ shrinking in big moments. Where does LeBron James go from here; could that be the end of his career? And how do the Lakers move forward, rebuild and trade for the right pieces around Luka? Plus Nick and Kevin hit on every other Playoff series, and even weigh in on the conspiracy surrounding Victor Wembanyama’s “real” height.

Pohroma pro Williams. Albon i Sainz byli diskvalifikováni
Problém obou vozů byl v rozměrech zadních křídel při otevření systému DRS. Mezera totiž podle technického ředitele Mezinárodní automobilové federace (FIA) Jo Bauera překročila maximální povolený rozměr 85 milimetrů. Ředitelství závodu tak muselo přikročit k diskvalifikaci obou vozů.„Obě části profilů zadního křídla musí mít mezeru v rozmezí od 9,4 milimetrů do 85 milimetrů. Tato mezera se měří sférickým měřidlem,“ stojí v technických regulích. „Během technické kontroly bylo zjištěno, že zadní křídla nejsou v souladu s předpisy,“ uvedli stevardi po kontrole Williamsů.„Pro nás je to velké zklamání a nyní vyšetřujeme, jak k této chybě došlo. V žádném případě jsme neusilovali o výkonnostní výhodu. Zadní křídla našimi kontrolami prošla, ale rozhodující je pouze jedno měření a výsledek od FIA plně akceptujeme,“ uvedl šéf stáje James Vowles.Dvojitá diskvalifikace Williamsu přišla poté, co v minulém závodě v Ázerbájdžánu ze stejných důvodů ředitelství závodu vyloučilo z kvalifikace Estebana Ocona na Haasu. Vowles i tak věří, že jeho piloti mají naděje na body.
