What do you do if you can't find a #2? answer -- put as many #3 types on the team as you can and then find the one that is on and is playing like a #2 at that time.
Looks like that is what Dallas has done to me. Peja, Terry, Roddy, Marion, heck even JJB can be #2 scoring options "at times" - Kidd, Stevenson, Chandler, Cardinal, Haywood, Mahinmi are all #3 type options. None of them is a batman -- but all the #2 types are really #3's that sometimes play like #2's. All the rest of them play that #2 role even less frequently.
I would even say that Peja, Terry, and maybe Roddy can be #1 types -- just not consistently like Dirk is.

To add to this the offense is NOT dump the ball to dirk and let him get beat up, take every shot anymore... It's post up shawn, hit dirk/peja/jet off screens. It's jjb/roddy breaking it down and kicking (especially jjb) or lobbing.
It's a very diversified attack at the moment. Again...who the blank knows if they will/will not win a championship this way, but their offense is eons more developed that it was in 06, that is for sure.
DLord would say that he predicts failure because RC doesn't have an offense that is geared towards driving the ball...possibly so...but we'll just have to see.
And the fans are just going to have to put their hearts out there just like the team will and live and die with it.
