I see shoves every game. "Push" is a synonym for "shove". Hand checks are often "shoves". Seeing a push or hand check doesn't make me think intentional so why should shove.

However, fi it was a shove that was not part of just trying to get the ball (it had no basketball purpose) or was excessive, that is where it turns to an intentional.
