I can't figure out if that is old audio of Al McCoy or they altered his voice or what. :lol:

I noticed that too. His pitch was higher than his later years pitch. And then parts just didn't sound like him but with his voice. Almost like it was AI driven. Heh, AlAI.

They aren't allowed to, since they traded him to us.

Ugh..
I get the sense that some of this is just talk so that if either of those guys have to rest, the Suns can point and say it's legitimate injury management. I also get the sense that Vogel doesn't want to give the opposition anything to go off of with regards to lineups, etc...

That's certainly the optimistic perspective.

Starting backcourt is questionable already. Great.
