Jonas Jerebko got some run for the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, scoring 10 points in 12 minutes, and hitting a massive shot late to put the Celtics up three.

But it was a play involving Kevin Love earlier in the game that had Jerebko talking afterward. With Jerebko guarding him in the third quarter, Love posted up and then fell onto his back, possibly pulled by Jerebko, who was called for a foul on the play. Afterward, Jerebko stood over Love and told him what he thought of the play.

“Yeah I thought he flopped,” Jerebko told reporters after the game.  “I don’t like people flopping. I don’t flop, so I had to tell him.

“He kinda laughed, he knew he flopped.  He’s a great player, but you know, stand up. Don’t flop. That’s my motto at least.”

In the fourth quarter, Jerebko also got into it with Deron Williams at midcourt when Williams tried to pick him off coming up the court.
