Though Pelicans fans spent Eric Gordon’s visits to New Orleans booing the former Pels guard, Gordon said most – though not all – of the extra feelings he has for games played on his previous home court was spent last season.
“It’s always going to be somewhat meaningful to me, but it’s just another game this time,” Gordon said. “A year went past. I like the team I have now. They have a full squad now and so will we. It will be a good game.”
Gordon stirred up the hurt feelings of New Orleans fans when he was open about his unhappiness playing for the Pelicans, calling the situation “dysfunctional” the day before the 3-point shooting contest.
