I've been recording Al McCoy's latest game broadcasts in HD audio through my audio interface, and thought I would share them with you all in case anyone would like to listen to them and/or save them for future listening.

Thanks for these! Please add today's if possible.

Just added it now!

Al's trademark "So long...for now" at the end of the postgame show took on a bit more meaning today.

Got it. Thanks! Unfortunately, I had to watch the Clippers broadcast and they only spent 10 seconds acknowledging his retirement.

Here's the video of Al's halftime ceremony:

[Superbone]

Awesome!

[JeremyG]

"You're simply the best
Better than all the rest"

That song lyric fits Al so well that they played it again today like they did at his Ring of Honor induction!

What Al said to Mat during his speech spoke volumes (about how he felt about Sarver).

Yep. Clear omission there.

[JeremyG]

Just updated the OP with Game 1.

[Superbone]

I will download the next win for sure. Thanks.

Go get it!

It didn't even really cross my mind until the game was over that this could have been Al's last broadcast if we had lost.

Gulp!

[Superbone]

Thanks, man! Grabbed Game 2.

[JeremyG]

I was able to get a couple of segments with Al on the pregame and postgame shows tonight, available for download here.

[Mori Chu]

Thanks for gathering these, JeremyG.

[JeremyG]

Sorry guys, the feed cut out at 8:56 left in the 3rd and I didn't catch it until 9:38 left in the 4th, but everything else is in the recording (pre-game through post-game show) here. I started a backup recording after that on my laptop so it hopefully won't happen again! It's obviously missing some of the best parts of the game, though, as well as Al saying the names of the referees "in case you want to send them a Christmas card or something" in classic Al sarcastic tone of voice!

Ayton finally got to talk to Al again, and made sure to wish him a Happy Birthday! Never heard Ayton that amped up when talking before.

At least they got the job done for Al to be able to call a series win the night before his 90th Birthday! Happy Birthday, Al!

EDIT: Here's the video of the postgame interview:

[Superbone]

That's cool the relationship Al and Ayton have.

[JeremyG]

Yep! And I know it means a lot to Al that both Devin and Deandre love, respect, and care about him so much.
