Give Dray A Break

Couldn't find the Dre Appreciation thread, so I'll post it in the stop ragging on Dre thread. Good quote:

Fagan goes on to describe a confusing scene that had Andray Blatche(notes), of all people, exhorting his teammates to get it together:

"Patience is running out. People are getting frustrated. I got no problem with it. Two a day. Training camp in November. It's cool by me. We need it. We losing, so that's what happens when you're losing. You gotta put extra time in."

As to why Flip was upset with his players? Blatche has an idea:

"I think it was not as much as guys not giving there all as much as it was guys complaining. A lot of guys were complaining about the calls, so it turned the game into a whole bunch of talking instead of playing."

Since returning a few days into training camp, Blatche has been trying to get his conditioning back to where it was before the injury. He is taking extra sprints after practice, showing up at 10 p.m. to shoot and said he recently decided to remove red meat from his diet. But getting in shape remains a challenge.

You gotta love the commitment. Blatche is going to be fine.

If he really wants to drop some weight, he needs to cut out the carbs. If he has late night cravings, he should eat some nuts or maybe a couple of slices of turkey.

I've discovered that drinking lots of ice water cures lots of late night "cravings." Sometimes you think you're hungry and you're actually just thirsty.

or just filling your stomach just long enough for the "empty" signals to subside so you can fall asleep. either way, good advice.
