Some quotes from San Antonio's paper..

Jerryd Bayless, who began the season as the Blazers' 11th man, peppered the Spurs for a career-high 31 points, including a back-breaking 3-pointer that put Portland ahead 96-87 with 2:04 to go. It was Portland's second short-handed victory in as many nights, following an 85-81 triumph at Dallas.

Forget beating teams over .500, against whom the Spurs are now 2-10 this season. On Wednesday, they couldn't quite handle Portland's JV.

“This is the NBA,” Spurs guard Roger Mason Jr. said. “One guy goes down, another guy gets an opportunity.”

Bayless made 10 of 24 shots, including both of his 3-point attempts, and nine of 10 free throws.

Hill, however, wasn't quite ready to put Bayless among the NBA's elite scoring guards.

“He was just making shots,” Hill said. “He played aggressive and he played with confidence. Once you make a couple of shots, that's what happens. He made a couple and started feeling it, but I wouldn't put him up there with the ‘he-got-so-hot-you-can't-stop-him' guys.”

I posted before the game that I was off to the bar. I said I'd buy the entire bar a round if we won. Well I'm out about $200 and I couldnt be happier. Bayless is the fucking shit! We just owned the "mighty spurs" on their homecourt with a glorified d-league team. Pendergraph stepped up bigtime after being "thrown into the fire", Howard was solid as fuck, LMA was money when it counted. Blake, Martell, Dante...everyone stepped up tonight in Roy's absence. I fuckin love this team!!!
