"Rafer Alston, the Magic point guard whose benching for the entirety of Game 4's fourth quarter and overtime raised eyebrows, hasn't exactly shown public respect for the decision by coach Stan Van Gundy.

Yesterday, Alston said he has friends who "were ready to fly in and wring (Van Gundy's) neck."

And when the former Raptor was asked if he had met with Van Gundy in the aftermath, Alston shook his head.

"I'm not good at having a one-on-one meeting, because then I might blow up.

"He might tell me something that might not make any sense to me, and I may not like that," Alston said."
