I wish they would get rid of the official reviews. It is killing the game.

By the book, that was the correct call. Most refs just never call it. Dropping the ball and picking it up is a dribble. 

 

And Smith didn't flop a bit on that 3 pointer, he flopped a lot. A guy his size shouldn't fall to the ground after getting tapped on the arm. I also thought he should have been given a flop warning earlier in the game when he went flying out of bounds with his hands in the air after we rebounded a shot. 

He didn't drop the ball, he stopped the pass with his hand and didn't control it, which you see frequently. And if most refs never call it (that's the first time all season I've seen it called), then it shouldn't have been called there.

Agreed on the flopping on the 3 pointer, though. I think what really upset the fans, and started the whole back and forth with Smith and the crowd, was that they perceived him flopping when he was undercut on two rebounds earlier in the game, and both looked like good calls on the replays.
