That's where the problem lies. What he did isn't something that happens under normal circumstances. Whether he meant to hurt Ginobili, or just keep him away from the ball doesn't really matter.
BS. There is a major difference between attemtping to hurt someone and fouling them. I think intent needs to be a huge factor in decisions to suspend a player. The NBA is obviously wrong about his intent. No angle shows it in any way that can be reasonably determined to be intentionally harmful.
