Ray Allen's ankles... we might want to pay attention to those. From the MetroWest Daily News' Scott Souza (via CelticsBlog):

"When I left (Seattle) the doctor there told me that he didn't want me to go to training camp and he didn't want me to play back-to-back (nights) starting the season off," Allen said. "The team had a relationship with the trainers, and the doctor, so they knew what the prognosis was - that I would have to ease into it.

"But then when I was traded, with all the excitement and everything that I was doing, I just came here getting ready to play a season. There was no way I was going to come in and say, 'I can't play. I am not going to training camp.' And then, 'I'm not playing back-to-backs.' I was just going to take it day-by-day and see how I felt."

So when Ray misses a Game 3 or something because of his ankles, remember how much you enjoyed that midseason victory over the Nets.
