I don't disagree lol.  Just pointing out that Westbrook may have committed the violation before Manu (and potentially before Kawhi held him).  There were so many things that went uncalled in that sequence.  Most of it was understandable though (guys get held on every inbounds play, guys have a touch out of bounds all the time, etc.)  But there's really no excuse for not calling a blatant elbow in that situation.

Regarding Manu giving Dion space, the rule in place is extremely vague.  It basically says that Manu needs to give the inbounder "ample" room if the space for the inbounder is "restricted".  If it isn't "restricted" (not sure what their definition of this is), Manu is allowed to be as close as he wants as long as he doesn't step or reach out of bounds (which he probably did anyways).  I just don't think there's any defensible reason for not calling the Dion violation, whereas the rest of the stuff is understandable.  I agree if they're calling everything 100% accurate and by the book, the Dion elbow never even happens though.
