Jason Quick of The Oregonian reports that Portland Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan will use a new starting lineup on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs.
--------------------
Jamal Crawford will replace Raymond Felton as the Trail Blazers starting point guard for tonight’s game against San Antonio, The Oregonian has learned.
McMillan was unavailable for comment Tuesday morning.
--------------------
Felton's recent struggles have been, uh, well-documented.
Update: Here's Felton's response from Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com.
--------------------
"He (Nate McMillan) called me this morning and told me we got to have consistency from that position and that a 7-point quarter was unacceptable," Felton told CSNNW.com. "I'm not just going to blame myself for that first quarter. We're a team. We win together, we lose together."
