Millsap is playing that role and he was crucial in game 5. And you can't say Bev, Morris or Harrell are not contributing, if they had a couple of bad games. Out of those, only Harrell has been mostly bad through whole playoffs.
Bev is averaging 5 points in this series on poor 3-pt shooting %. And he fouled out after 2 pts today in 18 minutes! Morris and Harrell have been awful in 2 straight games with the chance to eliminate Denver. What could/should have been a 5 game series is now resulting in 2 extra games for them and they may not even survive. I bring up those 3 guys specifically because they openly tout their "toughness" and have the reputation but it seems all fake to me. It reminds me of Tim Thomas trying to get in Dirk's head, blowing him a kiss in 2006 and then getting torched by Dirk for the rest of the series.
Millsap is a good vet for a team like Denver to have. The Mavs will be fine as they get more experience and if they can bring in a few guys with more experience like that in the rotation, that will be good. However, I think people saying that we're not tough enough is overblown. Upgrade the talent + get more experience and then the toughness aspect will come naturally.
