The Doc Rivers, championship Celtics reminiscing continues tonight, with Doc Rivers coming to Brooklyn with his Clippers to oppose his former stars. Last night, Rivers returned to Boston and nearly broke down describing the emotion.

"It was just a really nice day," said Rivers of being back in Boston. "This is, it's just such a classy place here. ... They cheer for their teams and they love their athletes. The best decision I ever made was 10 years ago, when I decided to come."

The Nets faced off with the Celtics on Tuesday, but Kevin Garnett said his own emotions were tempered a tad without Rivers roaming the sideline. "Because Doc ain't over there, it's probably a little less emotional," Garnett said.

Tonight, they'll all be in the house, sans Celtics. Even Paul Pierce is expected to suit up, after missing the Nets' last four games with a broken hand. Deron Williams has returned too, which, sentimentality aside is the biggest news of the week.

"He's the head of the snake," Pierce said of Williams. "I mean he's one of the most important pieces of what we're trying to do here, what we're trying to build and trying to win a championship."

He will be dueling with Chris Paul, who enters play averaging 18.9 points and 11.9 assists a night. Williams' was Paul's chief rival for several years, and if healthy, he looks to return to that form. Since coming back the Nets have won two consecutive games.

"Obviously it's only two games but when you look at the tape you see guys with our new schemes, you're starting to see a turnover and those are positive signs," Garnett said.
