The PG Calls Another One!!

In Episode 19 (see previous post) of THE POINT GUARD Internet Radio Program, The PG states that Jamal Crawford should be placed at the point guard spot, replacing an injured and struggling Raymond Felton.  (Of course, The PG and Speedy have been adamant for some time that Crawford should actually play the point rather than the Two.)  This past week, Portland coach, Nate McMillan, finally began to see The PG's reasoning. He made the switch and as YAHOO Sports reports:
G Jamal Crawford started at the point for the second time this season -- and for the first time in place of a healthy Raymond Felton. McMillan made the decision to make a change after the Laker game, and it paid off splendidly with both players. The pair combined to hit 7-of-8 three-pointers in the first quarter, the one miss a desperation shot by Felton as the shot clock expired. Crawford enjoyed his best performance of the season, with 20 points on 6-for-8 shooting -- 5-for-7 from three-point range -- to go with eight assists, four rebounds and one turnover in 30 minutes. "It was a lot of fun," Crawford said. "It was good to get off to a fast start -- just like the Lakers did to us last night. One thing about starting, I don't feel like I have to rush. I can take my time and set the table for the other guys. (Tuesday), the ball found its way back to me."

The PG calls yet another one!!  Now, will they KEEP him there?


May Your Point Guard Flow...
