Magic point guard Rafer Alston says that his friends are upset with coach Stan Van Gundy.

Alston was benched in the fourth quarter and overtime of Orlando's Game 4 loss to Los Angeles.

He said Saturday that his friends "were ready to fly in and wring (Van Gundy's) neck."

The point guard said that he wasn't likely to have a meeting with his coach.

"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.
