The Golden State Warriors are off to a disappointing start this season. Steph Curry returned from injury on Friday and has scored 87 combined points across the last two games, but the Warriors lost both contests and are now 13-14.

A fan base accustomed to winning is not happy. One fan decided to take matters into his own hands. According to SFGate, 27-year-old Justin Dutari from Panama found Warriors owner Joe Lacob’s email address online and wrote a note expressing his disappointment after the Warriors’ loss to the Blazers on Sunday night, a game in which Curry scored 48 points.

“Please do something about this team,” Dutari wrote in his email. “What [does] Steph need to do to win every night? Drop 50 points? …[Jimmy Butler’s] tools are being underutilized because he is playing as a power forward due to the small position players. We have no true center.

“I am so frustrated.”

Surprisingly, Lacob responded. The Warriors’ owner wrote back within two minutes to Dutari’s email, which SFGate confirmed through a Warriors spokesperson, Raymond Ridder.

“You can’t be as frustrated as me,” Lacob wrote. “I am working on it. It’s complicated. Style of play. Coaches desires regarding players. League trends. Jimmy is not the problem.”

The most interesting part of Lacob’s statement is the reference to “coaches desires regarding players.”

Some Warriors observers would say that Lacob was referring to forward Jonathan Kuminga.

Lacob has been a vocal supporter of the Golden State forward, who spent the entirety of the summer in a contract dispute with the team. Kuminga has not played the last three games despite lacking an injury designation, and has been in and out of coach Steve Kerr’s rotation this season.

Lacob reaffirmed his support of Kuminga in October in an interview with Tim Kawakami of the SF Standard.

“I like him as a person and as a player,” Lacob said. “I really like him. I think he’s a great kid and I think he’s a very exciting player to watch. He hasn’t fit entirely perfectly at times with what Steve Kerr maybe wanted or wants, but I think it also at times has worked well. So I think we just have to let it play it out. It’s time for basketball. We can talk about this stuff all we want. It’s what happens on the floor that matters and it’s what happens going forward.”

Kuminga and Kerr’s issues have been well-documented over the years. Under his deal signed in October, the 23-year-old becomes eligible to be traded on Jan. 15.

“My desire is for JK to be the best player he can be, regardless of where he ends up, here or elsewhere,” Kerr said on Dec. 10.

Kerr was asked about the email on Tuesday.

“We’re all frustrated,” Kerr told reporters. “Joe is frustrated. I’m frustrated. Steph and Dray. Everybody is frustrated and this is kind of how the league works. I hate when people are gonna post private emails. Imagine if everyone’s email were just publicly posted, how tough that would be to live our lives. So Joe supports me 100 percent. I support him. We have a great connection.

“We’ve had so much continuity here. And our stable environment is one of our strengths. So I didn’t even know about [the email]. [Ridder] told me about it. It’s not a big deal.”

We’ll never know for sure whether Lacob was talking about Kuminga. But he did make one Warriors fan feel important on Sunday night.
