Hey now, be nice: AJ had at least a couple of games last year where he cleared nine!
I know, because I text back-and-forth with a "dear friend of the message board" each time Owens flirts with that elusive double-double .
We were fully prepared a couple of times last year to leap up and give him a standing ovation should he grab that tenth one; even thought about running out on the floor and presenting him with the ball as a souvenir of the occasion.
But, alas...no dice.
Or, more accurately, "no diez".
THIS. IS. THE. YEAR!
