I mean, in comparison to what we saw in round one, absolutely. I mean, he had meaningful minutes yesterday. I think that he's going to get more comfortable in these environments and there's a lot less pressure on him. I mean, there were some really interesting lineups that Steve Kerr threw out there last night to combat what was going on. And again,

Jonathan Kaminga, I think, should feel very confident that he's going to be a part of those very strange lineups. And all he has to do is go out there, try to get somebody to foul him, cut to the basket when he should, and hit his outside shots, which he literally did all three things.

He's going to he always has some sort of big bounce bounce back game, whether it's offensively or, you know, offensively in an assist distribution rebounding type of way. He's going to show back up again. So that I'm not gonna say it was weird because he's capable for that. It's definitely on track for him. But yeah, he's gonna have to show up big time. Big time.
