The New Orleans Hornets face the Boston Celtics tonight in their home opener at the New Orleans Arena. Eric Gordon (one of the players acquired in the Chris Paul trade) made his mark against the the Phoenix Suns in the season opener and hopefully will do the same tonight as the Hornets try to establish their new identity. Gordon, a fourth year guard, made the winning 20 foot jumper shot with 4.2 seconds remaining in the game and finished with a team high 20 points. In his debut with the Hornets the 6-foot-3, 215 shooting guard, had four rebounds, a steal, a block, and three assists in 39 minutes. " Whatever the situation, I always try to make the best situation for it," Gordon said. " I'm still trying to fit in and figure things out throughout the offense, but I can put the ball on the floor and create for others." Hopefully Gordon will do the same in tonight's game against the Celtics and the Hornets will be able to move beyond the Chris Paul era.
