    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">Former Magic coach Doc Rivers made his first return to TD Waterhouse Centre on Sunday since he was fired in late November.

    Rivers, who lives in Winter Park, was the analyst for ABC-TV's announcing crew for the Lakers-Magic game.

    "I didn't know where to park," laughed Rivers. "It was cool, though, seeing all the people who work here . . . the security people.

    "As bleak as things are, next year they could be right back in it," he said.</div>

    Very classy by the Magic fans. I'm glad there wasn't any booing involved.

    I've always loved and respected Doc, it's nice to see him getting some ovation much like Larry Brown did. I really admired him, great coach, great guy, I was horrified when you let him go, it's not his fault your roster sucks.
