Ibaka: "Flagrant?!? I got ALL BALL!"

He winds up yes, but what it looks like he is chopping at is trying to sweep Griffin's arm since he is being held so he can go for the rebound. I see that same arm sweep in almost every NBA game I watch. From where he is, slightly back and to right of Griffin, Ibaka cannot possibly be aiming, as he cannot see his target.

If a foul was to be called here, it would have been on Ibaka.

Absolutely agree, I am not arguing that at all. The jersey hold seems to be one passed on frequently and Ibaka pushes him to the floor quite nicely. If there hadn't been the F1, there still would have been a foul on Ibaka.
