You know who could have ran out there and contested those 3's? Our 2nd best defensive player (statistically), who got the night off.
Here is what bugs me about tonight, besides everything else that was already mentioned here. Why was this game so important that we abandoned our formula?
Did Utah present any match-up difficulties that were out of the ordinary? To me, it seems like the only unusual match ups were that they have a 7' three point shooter who would be a bench player for us, a young energy player in Milsap who would be a DNP for us, and a pretty good point guard. Nothing to freak out about.
Were we trying to send a message by going with our big guns to get a win? We're not going to see these guys in the Finals, so who cares?

Please don't tell me he's gunning for the #1 seed. If that is the overiding motivation, then our ship has sailed.
