Doc Rivers defended Celtics star Kevin Garnett on Monday night as the list of his critics continues to grow.

Spike Lee, director and New York super fan, was the latest to call out Garnett for his on-court behavior.

"That means he's on their mind, that's fine by me," Rivers said. "Kevin does nothing wrong, he plays the game the right way. I think all these people that call him out would take him on their team right now. Other than that, I could care less about that stuff."

Lee said Garnett cursed him out "for no reason" during Boston's visit to Madison Square Garden on Dec. 15 and suggested that Garnett "needs to calm the [expletive] down."
