    Stop trying to make fetch (cape) happen! Maybe something like yearn? It does make no sense.

    But twice? In the same sentence? And can anyone really "care for" Boris Diaw?

    Which is why I mentioned autocorrect. In both cases, it's the only plausible explanation.

    One definition I found using cape as a verb:
    1. skin the head and neck of (an animal) to prepare a hunting trophy.

      Sounds kind of harsh.

    I get that Boris is fat, old, doesn't play a lick of defense, and speaks with a smarmy French accent, but DAMN!

    In French, cape translates to mantle. An archaic use of mantle is " to become covered with a head or froth".

    So basically he is frothing for Boris Diaw like Boris is frothing for a frothy espresso.

    No it's not. He misspelled crap. Go ahead, you know you want to do it. Stick crap into both ends of the sentence and it the sentence comes out smoothly.
