Celtics guard Ray Allen worked hard this offseason to keep in shape and maintain his reliable shot.

"I think about field goal percentage, I think about 3-point field goal percentage and all those things are directly related to what kind of condition I am in," Allen told the Boston Globe. "I did do a lot more this summer. I never really eat too bad but a lot things, you know you go to barbecues and eat more hot dogs and cheeseburgers on the grill, I cut that back a little earlier. It was just one of those things that felt necessary."

Allen had surgery on both ankles just three months prior to joining the Celtics in the summer of 2007. He claims they both feel great.

"Great," he said. "I was telling Marquis [Daniels] earlier, all the drills that we do defensively, when I came here in ?08 ... every time I stepped down, I felt like crunchiness, like it was just stinging me. But training camp-wise, this is the best my feet have felt."
