Today's Poll -- Blame Rebecca Haarlow? Edition

Do you have a crush on Rebecca?

There seems to be a lot of emphasis towards her lately…

I mean I didn’t know…but I figured Reba Haar had somethin to do w/ that loss…

The less we dwell on what actually happened last night, the better. I tried to supress it, but I had a bad feeling when Roy was quoted talking about having reached a new level & all. The worst part was when he announced to the world that he was now getting the benefit of superstar favoritism from the refs. Pride goeth before a fall, ya know. And Kenyon Martin was all too happy to start dishing out the lesson starting with that first, amazing block (which was NOT goal tending, in my opinion). The refs just piled on after that.

No worries: presuming both teams make it to the Rose Garden tonight, I predict a 180 by Roy and his teammates. Unless Roy refers to them as his “supporting cast” during the pregame show. Then all bets are off—no matter what colors Rebecca dons.

I mean, I used to really like her and I still do but get with it, you are getting paid by the Portland Trailblazers the least you could do is save that shirt for when we play a team that doesn’t use that color. I lost a lot respect for her last night.

as a fan, I spend an extraordinary amount of time making sure all elements are correct: a Blazer t-shirt, jersey or the like; my Roy jersey pin fixed; a cool drink in a Blazer travel mug. In my family, if we sense that someone’s presence in the room is affecting the flow of the game, that person is sent away to a different tv. It can be brutal.

Is it too much to ask ReHar to show a little of the same preparation? Or Blazer Broadcasting to pull her once she demonstrated that she was going to show up Blazerdom on the air?

I don’t really thinks she’s all that, anyways

she is just a journalist. She used to work for FSN in LA. im sure she looked really excited talking about the Lakers as well

        She’s fluff and has no fashion sense.
Black & Red Rule !

Okay, so Rebecca Harlow color cordinated with the Nuggets. She’s smart, she should of known better. It was a mistake. But let’s not get the torches out people. I think she owes all Blazer fans an explanation and an apology. This can be done by her wearing a skin tight black and red leather outfit during the next broadcast. Does that sound sexist? Sorry, but we need some payback for the transgression. Okay, whatever you wear Rebecca remember either Red Black maybe White or at the very least NOT the colors of the team we are playing. I’ll let it go this time but I’d also suggest she burn everything Purple and Gold that she owns.

…and put on red and black instead.

(And just what did you think I meant?)

In her defense, she’s wearing the same color as Blaze.

I’ll go ahead and blame RH from now on. I love how the photo of her must be in mid-sentence. She looks stoned. Hmm, they are the Nuggets.

When she first came on I shouted at her that the shirt was all wrong – but the funny part is that the color hadn’t registered with me. I told her it didn’t fit properly – or she hadn’t taken time to adjust it. Even in the pic above you can see the neckline is lopsided. It looked way too casual and I didn’t like the big beads with it. Then when the Mikes mentioned the color I felt rather stupid for not noticing that too. Sometimes I think she dresses too sexy for the job – why doesn’t Mike B or Tony open their shirts to their navels? – but I try to restrain myself. However last night I thought the whole thing was off. She also had her hair slicked back in a pony tail which isn’t like her, so I wonder if didn’t have a lot of time before the game. I know the team had to take a bus to Eugene to get a plane out and maybe she missed that and had to get there on her own and when she got there discovered that the clothes she’d stuffed in her carryon were mismatched and this was all the airport had… Hey, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, but wearing the opposing team’s colors is definitely worth a reprimand. I don’t need an apology tho.

Funny thing – her second “report” did not have her on camera, just a still photo like the reporters calling in from Afghanistan… I did see her in the background once – not around the team, but behind the press table – that’s where I saw the pony tail. (I even rewound and did slow motion to make sure it was her – the beads verified it.) I wondered what she was doing as in PDX she’s almost always in logical places. She definitely skewed our karma last night.

She was just trying to color-co-ordinate with Blaze.
Not her fault our mascot is a blatant Nougats rip-off.

If I’m not mistaken, Mike had on a blue shirt as well. I was thinking to myself why that wasn’t brought up as well. Oh well blame it on the redhead/dirty blonde.

I think the spirit of the poll is in fun, and I think our outrage should be mock outrage, also in fun.

She would do well to make fun of herself a little tonight, by coming out in a Blazer tee and cap.

Now let’s avenge that loss and smash them nuggets!

maybe he was pullin’ a plaxico?

I’d rather see a poll on how people feel about sideline reporters in general than another blatant excuse to give Rebecca more blog-time ;). To that end (and to divert things off topic, sorry)…
In almost all cases I find sideline reporters to be a waste of my time and are just excuse for a broadcast to pay for one more [pretty?] face while it takes away time from the actual game. Rebecca is no different other than being less competent in most ways than her national broadcast counterparts (as to be excepted by local CSN production).

didn’t hit a single outside shot. His only makes were at the basket. This is one reason why we lost.

http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/shotchart?gameId=281222007 (choose Brandon from the drop-down)

He won’t do that often. Let’s not draw any conclusions from this game except to say that this team needs Brandon to win, period.

And her eyes were kind of puffy.

She does not look so good with her hair pulled back. Should wear it loose all the time. Totally hot that way.

And she does not look good in blue either.

Classic.

Ahem… not to make false accusations, but did anyone else get the impression that she was drunk? Her slurring of words, suppression of giggles while explaining Joel’s injury, forgetfulness, and mistakes in prepared commentary were more than enough to convince me.

I can’t tell if a few of you are serious or not. Who cares what she wore, she’s insignificant the grand scheme. Like others, I always wear my Blazer gear on Game Day, but that’s just my preference. I could care less what she wore last night; I should change that to, I would only care if she wore less last night.

Seems a little overboard to make a post on the front page, making her look like the village idiot to the world. I’m sure she won’t do it again……….besides, it’s not like we were playing LA last night.

about anything other than the job she does reporting and interviewing -- and of course looking good for we male fans of basketball ( : This reminds me so much of the obsession that has materialized for Hollywood stars and other celebrities, their personalities and what they eat for breakfast. Get a life all you city folks. I guess we all are just so bored with life’s daily routine that we need personalities and fashion and such to add “substance” to our existence. Maybe it’s too bad that this winter storm didn’t bring 4 or 5 day outages of electricity and heat to shock us into realizing what is really important in our lives. And I doubt that Rebecca’s allegiance to the Blazer’s can be questioned as a result of her color choices. She knows on which side here bread is buttered.

P.S. Of course I also realize Ben didn’t make this post because he was at all offended by Rebecca’s wardrobe. He was just funnin …. as I partially am too.
