I know everyone is frustrated and rightfully so, but if there is anyone on this team that deserves benefit of the doubt it’s the proven Kawhi Leonard. Just like last season he started slow then put out one of his best offensive performances in the season. Just give him time would rather have him peak later than now.
I know what you mean regarding lift. I do think he is purposely conserving himself though. I’ve been a big fan of Kawhi since his spurs days and I swear every single year I wonder if he’s kinda done but then he always rounds into form and becomes a beast during the playoffs (when playing). I pray that it will be the case again this year
