Specifically, on my original two plays, can you call an intentional for excessive contact?

Mulk, with your experience I know that you must have had the play sometime where a player with the ball swings an elbow and gets an opponent in the head/face. Obviously that can be judged either an intentional or flagrant personal foul.
Don't get hung up on rule book verbiage and over-think some of these plays.
