Now for the Spurs, it was a disappointing end to their cup run, but there's still a lot to be excited about.

First, to make it to the finals, the Spurs had arguably the biggest win of the season, defeating the Thunder 111-109 in the semifinals.

Unlike OKC's first loss of the season, the Thunder were healthy, playing their normal starting lineup for the first time this season.

OKC could not overcome minutes restriction.

Victor Weminyama, who returned to the Spurs bench for the first time in a month.

Wemby scored 22 points and was a game high plus 21 in only 21 minutes.

Now, the other thing for Spurs fans to be excited about is the recent history of NBA Cup finals losers.

Two years ago, the Pacers.

bounced back from their devastating Cup loss and made the Eastern Conference Finals.

Last year, the Thunder rebounded from literally their worst game of the season against the Bucs in the Cup Finals and won the championship.

Could the Spurs be the next team to use their NBA Cup loss as fuel for a deep postseason run?

One team that probably won't be making a deep postseason run is the Golden State Warriors.

And when that reality begins to sink in for a proud franchise, what else is there to do but email the billionaire over it?

This week, Warriors fan Justin Dutari did just that after searching for and finding an email for Warriors owner Joe Lacob.

Justin sent off an email voicing his frustrations about the need for a real second option, a true center, complaining about the immense burden on Steph Curry.

Surprisingly, Joe Lacob quickly responded, writing, quote, You can't be as frustrated as me.

I am working on it.

It's complicated.

Style of play.

Coach's desires regarding players.
