It would be unfair to Dean Wade to say that the Cleveland Cavaliers forward is justout there getting his cardio in.
But there's also some truth to that -- he just happens to be getting his cardio by doing his best to defend Pistons star Cade Cunningham.
What Wade isn't doing is shooting.
He took a shot early in Game 4 against Detroit, then not again for the rest of the game, then not a single shot for all of Game 5.
It's a stretch of more than 40 minutes of game clock that Wade has been on the floor without taking a single shot.
