Yes Rasual earned his spot fair and square.
The key for Butler seems to be that his shot has come back. That was the thing holding him back earlier in the season, as he defense and compe iveness on the boards has been there all year. If he can keep the shooting up, he makes a ton of sense as the ninth man in the playoff rotation or the tenth man if Diaw/West can both be good at the same time.

Rasual finishes above the rim on fast breaks about as well as Simmons/Kawhi, which is just weird
Another nice block today, smacked Weems off the backboard.
The more I see of Rasual, the more I like. Been a pro in the lockeroom too.
Yeah, apparently, he's been mentoring Simmons and Anderson. While it's not like Butler has been a star in the NBA, he does know how to come back through adversity (being irrelevant for most of his career) and how to prepare his body to stay healthy (he looks great physically for his age). Those are key things for young guys to learn, and , I hope Danny and Kawhi are taking notes as well.
I trust this now even more. He's baller, cool head, BBIQ, very few mistakes, lots of hustle, movement.
Credit to the Spurs for hiring him.
Well said.
He would have totally been like Ish Smith had the Spurs let him go for Jimmer. We would have been complaining all year about losing him because he would been a solid rotation player for someone else while Green was struggling and Anderson and Simmons were making young mistakes. Been about three years since the Spurs have had a really good talent on their deep bench.
He was not going to be a savior, but wily vet like him made a couple of key blocks that got us W in Orlando in similar type of game..WE missed those tonight and that's why the descion to waive was a ty one and quite frankly a sentimental crap from Pop.
keep ty ass Simmons, kept Bonner who hasn't played a damn minute since he was picked over Butler
Spurs
A terrible move and an inexplicable one and an indefensible one. SMH.keep ty ass Simmons, kept Bonner who hasn't played a damn minute since he was picked over Butler
Yep. I wanted to keep Butler. What a stupid decision to cut him and keep a player that didn't contribute what he did for the team this season.
Frankly we won games with him. Even closed some games with him. This is kind of what happens when you tinker with a team's composition that was on a historic winning race. As much as KMarun can give us offensively and he made some shots tonight, he was not a guy we relied on to win through the season and defense always got it done for us...
Ralph wasn't gonna be in the playoff rotation. Maybe he would've saved the Spurs from humiliation tonight though.
Or why did they even pick up Miller, he is not going to play unless Parker or Mills get hurt and even if that happened I'd rather have Manu running the point.keep ty ass Simmons, kept Bonner who hasn't played a damn minute since he was picked over Butler
I agree the Spurs should have kept Butler. Keep Bonner because he's supposedly a "big" but then never play him.... makes no sense.
Butler was/is irrelevant. It's not exactly breaking news, but the bottom line is, they need Green to start shooting something closer to his norm or they're in trouble.
He had a few great looks down the stretch and missed them. Inevitably, that will happen to everyone at times, but it's happened to him far too many times this season and it's a major part of why they keep laboring to score and losing on the road to plus .500 teams.
