    He did it right after he dunked on Pau from the baseline... It's the second time he's dunked on Gasol.

    It means "Peace be with you and your loved ones." It was a pretty nice gesture by Batum. This team is too nice.

    I love it. I'm soooooo glad we didn't lose him. I love his attitude and fearlessness. Driving around Kobe for the dunk, dunking on Gasol and relishing it.

    While we're talking hand-significance, why is Brandon wearing a glove here (0.41 mark):

    I guess I saw him get hit on the hand yesterday - did he aggravate an injury?

    I sure used to wear gloves like this when I was lifting weights.

    You better hope he doesn't do it in a big game because then the NBA will fine him for flashing gang signs (see: Paul Pierce).
