Hes trying to find his place. LA and Kawhi have to integrate seamlessly and thats still an ongoing process and I think whatever timidity he has is because he has to think and not just act. He has to pull back somewhat and think about whats good for the team which I dont think comes natural. Having said that, other than the FT misses, I think he had a great game. He was high in rebounds, which is what Ive been clamoring for him to do and now hes got this new skill that I think is great, his passing. So now hes not "you guys do all the hard work and Ill just sit back and drain medium range jump shots and get the glory because I get paid the most" guy. Now hes integrating with his team, doing the unsexy, non scoring work. With this attitude hes going to get some high scoring games to go with it.
