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.

League trends.

Jimmy is not the problem.

How many fan bases saw this story and were like, what the hell, you could just find their email and yell at them?

The fan has a point, though, because this week, Steph Curry broke Michael Jordan's record for most 40-point games after turning 30 when Steph dropped 48 in a game against the Blazers, and yet it wasn't enough as the Blazers won 136-131.

The Warriors have now lost three in a row, dropping to 13-15, ninth in the Western Conference.

Now, we didn't have a lot of games this week because of the NBA Cup, so let's talk about some of the crazy results we did get on Thursday night, our first night with a full slate of games in a bit.

One game, after getting an impressive road win in Boston, cementing their place atop the Eastern Conference, the Pistons dropped an overtime game to the Dallas Mavericks, 116-114.

The Mavs have won six of their last eight, and in one of those games they did lose, Cooper Flagg set an historic NBA record, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to score 40 points after he scored 42 in a loss to our Utah Jazz, breaking a record previously held by LeBron.

The Pelicans also got a surprising overtime win on Thursday night, beating the Rockets 133-128, led by Sadiq Bey's season-high 29 points.

It is the Pelicans' third consecutive win.
