Would you say that Enes Kanter was “bogarting” people tonight? Because that’s what the Jazz announcers seem to think he was doing.
Where I come from (Wiscompton), bogarting means hogging the weed. No more, no less. There are no other definitions. You can possibly stretch to mean hogging the Doritos, or some other communal item, but that’s it. There was no marijuana for Kanter to bogart during tonight’s game, as far as I could tell.
Apparently there is a secondary definition used in circles outside of my own, making the term synonymous with “bullying” or “intimidating”. Okay, so maybe Kanter was doing that tonight. In fact he definitely was. A career high 29 points, all in the paint? Anthony Davis in all his lankiness could not handle the Kanterman.
Whatever verb you use to describe Kanter’s actions, he was excellent tonight. Can Derrick Favors be injured all the time?
