Doc Rivers will always call Boston home. And so when he steps on the parquet floor for the third time as a visitor since leaving the Celtics, those raw emotions from the first night are still fresh.
“No, it never wears off it’s nice,” said Rivers at the Clippers shootaround today. “Forget the basketball part it’s just a great place to be, to live and when I come back here obviously the basketball part you remember, but honestly I remember all of the friends that I made.”
This marks the first time that both Rivers and Paul Pierce will enter the Garden together.
