Couple of reasons:
1. Generally the best strategy is to find ways to give the most playing time to your best players
2. The team doesn't really have any great shooters, so going with the "spread shooting" strategy only makes sense if that is consistent with #1.
I feel like this important and something a lot of people forget. Yes, small ball won the championship last season but don't forget that the Cavs lost 2 all stars and made that a competetive series by playing big. Is it because one strategy was better than the other? No. It was because each team needed to play to the strength of its roster. Personel changes how a team will compete.
