It wasn't actually a post-up play yet. The defender ran from the baseline to swat the ball away as soon as the offensive player received a pass - so there was no time to set up and make an offensive move. The offensive player was beginning a turn to the basket (from what I recall), but the defender arrived immediately after charging in from several feet away. I think this is what Dribbler is pointing out - it was not a set offensive play. Javie must have responded to the speed with which the defender charged up, or reacted to something other than a clear hit on the arms, otherwise I'm sure he would not have backed down.
