The NBA playoff series between the Miami Heat and the Toronto Raptors is heating up. The series is currently tied at two wins apiece. Game five tips off tonight at 8 PM ET, and going into the game, Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade gave his… unique take on the series thus far:
"I don't know how much tighter your buttcheeks can get than this series." – Dwyane Wade

So, yeah. That’s something. I guess even three-time NBA champions and future Hall-of-Famers get nervous sometimes. The stakes are sky-high in this series. The winner of the series will face the defending Eastern Conference Champions Cleveland Cavaliers in the Conference Finals.
Now 34 years old, Dwyane Wade has performed at a level that most didn’t think we’d see again from him. This series, he has averaged 27.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game while shooting 49.4% from the field and a ridiculous 60% from beyond the arc, after shooting just 15.9% from downtown in the regular season.
Yes, despite his nerves(and buttcheeks), Dwyane Wade has looked like the best player in this series, and one of the best in the league. If Wade keeps up his current level of play, the Heat can take down the Raptors, and give the Cavs a run for their money.
