He did the same thing in the San Antonio game last week. He didn't elbow anyone, but he flung his arms wildly after launching a 3 at the buzzer and almost knocked out Manu Ginobili. I guess San Antonio complained and the refs were watched his dirty play even closer all week.
Reggie Miller used to do that on all his shots. He wildly kick out his legs in an attempt to hit the defender. He usually got the call too, until the moron refs figured out what he was doing. But Reggie was another dirty player.
I coach basketball and I always tell my players that it doesn't matter if you actually committed a foul or not. All that matters is if the ref "thinks" you did.
