Splitter must have done wonders in practice after the first two playoffs games to cause Pop to reverse his season-long decision of not giving him sustained playing time...
Yep, that's probably it...
If you not ever watched Tolliver lately, he's developed into a fine role player and occasisonal starter. Just because he didn't make the Spurs squad doesn't mean he didn't further his game.
Ian's meager and occasional on-court production, in limited minutes, and in short stints, were enough for me to wonder what else was there?
Still, is you compare either of their contributions versus that of the suckiness of Bonner and what the Spurs were lacking from the bigs, then you would know why I posted that comment. I already know what Bonner is, and even more importantly, what he isn't.
Essentially, Pop chose a more expensive, one-dimensional, perimeter player (Bonner), who's a known playoff choker over an unproven big. What else is there to know? I don't know how anyone came justify this was the better decision.

People who think Matt Bonner should be anything but a 3rd string center (5th big), or a backup on a lottery team needs to get themselves checked. I don't necessarily like Tolliver or Mahinmi, but that's exactly who Matt Bonner is, and why he shouldn't get over 10 minutes per game.
It's the role Novak had in this team.
