I wonder if he is being too hard on him. I know Rick isn't known for his soft touch, but I wonder if he might get more with at least a little less vinegar if not a little honey.

That's something Cuban would talk to him about if it really was an issue. This could be a case where Fisher could be the good cop. He can easily take that role on. But hey, if you're going to be an elite PG, you've gotta take tough criticism and be ready to roll on to the next one.
