Eva Longoria, of ABC's "Desperate Housewives" and girlfriend of Spurs guard Tony Parker, was in attendance and spent the second half watching the game courtside with Yasmin Patterson, wife of Blazers president Steve Patterson.

Sorry mods, but according to the Blazers Official Beat Writer Jason Quick, TradeTheo was correct in starting his thread about Eva. It is not totally unrealistic to wonder if she is considering investing in a team, contributing to a Blazers sponsored charity, or perhaps starring in a sequel to Sebastian's movie. It could be titled "Down in Flames".

At any rate it's certainly more realistic than any of the ridiculous trade scenarios or absurd comparisons of a certain one-dimensional white player to the great Larry Bird that litter this board over and over and over lately.

I also question whether Hap has any clue what real Blazers fans are interested in posting about and discussing since he can't even force himself to watch a full 3 quarters of a game before fleeing the Garden in fright.

It does appear at first glance that quite often his mod duties are abused simply because he has a problem with certain posters and their views.

I could be wrong about that but then again, I'm ALWAYS right and I NEVER lie.

My understanding is that Ms. Longoria frequently attends Spurs games on the road.
As for Ms. Patterson, it could be she is a fan of the TV show, or the unofficial celebrity greeter, or just friendly.
Why the conspiracy theories? And personal insults?

I was at the game with my father who works grave-yard and didn't want to spend much more of the game there. He's been a season ticket holder for close to 30 years and been going to games for over 34 years. He's the father of 4, and grandfather of 3 (soon to be four) and has worked a very phyiscally intensive job for just about the last 34 years.

If he wants to leave the game early because he's a little tired (both of the game and just physically) than who the hell am I to tell him not to leave?

Better yet, who are you to use that as an pathetic attempt to show that I am a bad mod, not a "real fan" or something else trivial?

it also appears at first glance that the planet is flat. But anyone who actually looks into the situation instead of just spouting **** to see if it draws any flies (amazing how the same posters come out of the woodwork to accuse mods (me) of being abusive), you'll see that the mods here are incredibly easy going and the only time things are closed is when they're either blatantly obvious, or have nothing to do with the blazers or even something people care about.

whats next, we have solidguy asking how big Eva's breasts are? I mean, she was at the game the other night..

No, they were both wrong and so are you. It is not Blazer news, and in fact it is not news at all. I've been to plenty of games with "celebrities" in attendance, I don't remember there ever being a thread here about any of them. And tradetheo's thread commented on her body, hardly appropriate for a basketball forum. OT.

As far as Hap's mod skills, there is a clique here like there is at every forum on the intarwebs. I'm not in the clique, but I don't complain about it. It's just the way things work.

The mods are the mods, and they can do whatever they want. The rest of us are NOT mods, but we still can do almost anything we want. The mods here are not as heavy-handed as mods on many other internet forums, IMO. A lot of idiots post here, and they are not banned & rarely censored (if I was a mod, I would do more banning- that's just me though). The idiots are as welcome here as the complainers, and the naive belong as much as the informed. And Mike Rice is welcome too.

This is a good forum.

I have to agree with maris61 or obvious reasons. Who are you hap to decide what is off topic and something nobody would want to discuss after it was only up for discussion for 5 minutes? Maybe more people would come to the board if we could talk about more then just the blazers. He says I was littering the board, But was I really? I would think littering the board would consist of endless stupid posts about possible trades, paul allen and him selling the team, who we will sign as a free agent and I hate nash posts. I was just trying to bring up something that was light hearted and a good question. I wonder what big time celebs(if you wanna call eva that) think of portland and if they would ever move here or if they think it's a nice city. For the most part, I don't see any celebs in portland. I think if hap wants to be a good mod, maybe he should let us the posters decide what we want to respond to rather then taking it upon himself to decide everything. It gets irritating seeing the exact same thing on here. I'm honestly surprised this thread hasn't been closed, I mean it isn't about everything I listed above.

yah, thats our problem. we don't talk about non blazer stuff so the board is almost dying....

yah, who wants to talk about the blazers anyways. lets talk girl talk.

if you want to talk about anything and everything, oregonlive still has slots available for posters to sign up.

I'll second that since he likes to have problems with me. I stopped posting on this board because of many people's ridiculous attacks but lurk every once in a while, I'll post for this cuz I agree.

blue32

yeah, but if you cant take what you dish out (your opinion versus someone else's) then i guess its better that you dont post here...

Thats the point about a forum board......the majority of posts are all about peoples opinions....

You shove yours down someones throat, they do it back....just because you cant take it doesnt mean your getting attacked

He's the moderator of this forum. Deciding that is part of his job.

Hey, if you want to get off-topic about Ms. Longoria, how about this tidbit from this morning's Living section of the Oregonian:

Now there's more information than we needed to know.

Sorry this has happened to you - its not fun - but its fairly anonymous. Please post inspite others opinions - "THAT" is what makes a posting board fun and interesting.


No - they'd go away. We want to talk about our team - the Trail Blazers. Not, flowers, celebrities, or other tidbits that interest you alone. That is why we formed a "OFF-topic OT" section. So I don't have to rummage through posts to find Blazers talk. PS there are other boards which discuss these other things - you might seek them out.

Now....back the season, the draft, Free-Agency, etc.
