And for the record they did go and review the play and came to the same conclusion they did when the whistle was blown. And if Ginobli would have just slapped the arm and did nothing else then I might agree with you. But he held on to Allen's arm and pulled him down. That is a dangerous play and should be called and ruled accordingly to the way it took place.

"Dangerous"?
I'm big on "protecting the shooter", but let's be real. Manu is not a right handed shooter. He's a lefty. He wasn't shooting the ball. Rather, just trying to draw contact. He got a "grab"...and it wasn't dangerous. Now, if the defender grabbed a leg or tripped him, then ya, I'd go along with "dangerous" in that play.
