He lost me when he was running the team 2 years ago and got his numbers but couldn't win games. That's not impressive.
He's taken it to Philly and Pho so far, instead of getting his bigs involved. Kanter is a 20 pt guy, Adams will get you 10, Dipo should be near 20, Westbrook 30 and the rest should get you 20, so enough with the bs, "who else will score". That's a flat out excuse.
Look, great stats, we all have seen him do that before, but he was up against weak guards. I'll be more impressed if they can beat some decent teams.

I do want to say one thing in regards to you saying he's not getting the bigs involved. Now it's only been a 2 game sample so far. Game 1, Adams and Kanter combine for 33 points. That's about what you want from them you said right? Olidipo 20? Well he went 4-16 that night, he's not that great of a shooter too, just like Westbrook struggles with his shot. What else is Russ supposed to do then? When Dipo is struggling with his shots? Tonight Kanter only played 12 minutes. Adams, your 10 pt guy had 9 and 10, and Dipo shot better and got 21. Russ doesn't control Kanter's minutes? So one game, he gets exactly what you want (except for Dipo who struggled with his shot) and another he exactly what you want (except for Kanter, who's minutes were limited) but still, not good enough? Obviously not every game will go to this script, but I don't see the problem so far? The rest of team he plays with? Kyle Singler? Andre Roberson? A couple of rookies in Sabonis and Christon? He's still the main guy that has to pick up the scoring slack
