    Allen to work his way out, not put up excuses</p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p>

    ORLANDO, Fla. - Guard Ray Allen typically hoists about 250 shots before games. When the Celtics go back to practice tomorrow, don't be surprised if he shoots more than that in hopes of getting his usually reliable jumper back.</p>

    Allen missed 10 of 17 shots and 6 of 8 3-point attempts in last night's 104-102 loss to the Magic at Amway Arena. In the three games before the Orlando contest, the six-time All-Star missed 32 of 47 field goal attempts and 13 of 18 3-pointers.</p>

    "It just seemed like the last two or three nights I wasn't feeling the way I normally feel," Allen said. "It's going to take just a day to get it right back. I'm going to go back into the lab."</p>

    Forward Kevin Garnett also had an off night with 14 points and 11 rebounds while fouling out in 37 minutes. Asked if he was suffering from flu-like symptoms during the game, Garnett said, "It doesn't matter, man. When you hit the floor you come out here and suit up and you're supposed to perform.</p>

    "We're not going to make any excuses on anything. They played well."</p>

    Judging by his career numbers, something tells me not be worried about this guy...

    the only way we lose games is if 2 or more of the big 3 have an off night in the same night, as in the orlando game...dont expect it to happen much</p>
