11th & 12th & 13th Interview

I promised myself that I was gonna finish the interview before the new year. Oh well, a couple days behind the dateline. Therefore i'm going to have 3 interviews this time. Starting with kowan as the manager of 'Matoa'

Our Beloved Monk meditating to find the Fantasy Enlightment

W: You free now? :p
1D: In car, but sure haha

W: R u driving?
1D: Traffic jam
Let's do what we can before batt run out

W: Ok, Here we go
What was your first impression on the draft?
1D: For ALMOC, My first impression is I messed up my pre draft. How the hell did James Harden got so high in that list. Higher than kobe
I wasn't happy seeing so many rookies in my lineup, I was planning on having one only
For COMLA I love auction draft. Very exciting. You get a chance to draft any player you like
Its a learning experience. I'll make sure to not bring poker mentality into draft next time haha

W: You bluff too much? :p
1D: I failed my bluff big time in blake griffin one. I didn't even notice that the bid was at high 60 already. BG had a 55 max on my list.
In retrospect, preseason game today make me look good hahah
I had a heart attack when I saw I won blakey at 69.. I cried "oh shit nooooo"

W: LMAO yes definitely no more poker mentality
Among all the player u drafted, which one you think are the best in term of draft ranking / auction $.?
1D: Mmm.. Can I answer that later? Need to review the draft result first
W: Sure

W: Who did you remember having the best draft in comla or almoc?
1D: COMLA, I think you and koyan did a good job, very patient. Which was my plan going in the draft. But roster wise, I never thought about it.
ALMOC same, I haven't had a chance to take a look at others team. I'm just hoping the vets all do a good job to keep damn rooks in their place
Rooks and sophs

W: LoL rookie & sophomore hater :p
1D: My first week opponents look damn scary though. So he (Thrill) did a good job in draft

W: What is the one thing you would do differently if u can repeat the draft night? (Other than the BG thing)
1D: On almoc, I should have planned to have my vacation after draft, so I can join the live draft. It'll make a big difference in my roster

W: On COMLA?
1D: On COMLA: I have some new strategy I'm planning to do next year, but it's a secret haha..
but to be sure, I should have keep around 10 dollar left for my last two players. I missed out on good players who was very cheap actually, but I can't do anything since I have 3 bucks left

W: Secret strategy hmmmm :p
Ok bbm me when u are home to answer me question before
The next one might require u to look at the draft as well

1D: Yeah.. Wicked strategy. Hahaha.. Be wary
Ok  In COMLA, best player I get is Dorell Wright. Very cheap at $20 in my opinion. Other teams were running out of money and were busy counting their leftover when I got him

W: How about on ALMOC?
1D: Besides keeper?

W: Yes, beside keeper
1D: I think Tyreke Evans

W: Okie, How about next question, who is the steal of the draft in term of auction $ / draft ranking (other than the one in your team)
1D: Best team after draft in almoc I think is Fu's
Tough question

W: Let me rephrase which player are bid way too cheaply? Or picked up in almoc way to late? (Undervalue)
1D: Carmelo Anthony in COMLA is a steal (at $34 by Gunners)
David West is also a steal and picked up at 64th place (for $9 by Dragon)??
Wait.. Kid stealing my ipad
I'll answer for ALMOC later

W: hahaha ok
After your kid return the ipad. Answer this question too: You mentioned fu is the best team in draft in ALMOC, how bout COMLA?
1D: Ok, Need to wait for him to go to sleep. Haha.. Be back with the answers

W: Ok take your time
1D: Steal of the draft in almoc would be Kyrie Irving but only if he pans out.
I need to revise my answer. James harden on pick 36 actually isn't as bad as my 9th rd pick kawhi leonard. I should have gotten another C, like marcin gortat or chris kaman
Oh wait, there is no question about worst pick haha.. Never mind

W:Hahaha
Best team who drafted in COMLA?
1D: Best team in comla would be.. *drum roll*.. Dragon duck
Mm scratch that
Oh yeah.. Dragon duck..
That's my final answer.. Can I get a 50-50.. Or phone a friend??

W: No, too late for that, we're now on final question
No help line on final question
1D: David west for $9 pick #64?? What a steal... I keep my final answer: koyan's team.. The dragon duck

W: Final answer accepted :)Any last word for fellow managers or our blog readers?
1D: Just one final statement for both leagues.. To all veteran teams, we must keep the pride of veterans.. Let's all beat up on these rookie teams and sophomores team, show them weeds that they can never see the sun under our branches..
W: By the way you owed me a writing on the blog from last season :p
1D: Oh yeah.. Haha.. I'll write:p

W: LoL ok, thanks for the fun interview.
1D: Ur welcome

Wasabi Bistro. Open 24 hours. Dine in or Drive through

For the next two interviews, I failed to do an live interview, so I send my questions instead through facebook chat and this is what I got for an answer. Starting from Kobun who is playing in ALMOC for the team "Wasabi Bistro'

W: What is your impression of the draft?
B: Could be better IF the managers slow down their horsies...i thought all of us know that some of the managers arent online yet.

W: Which player in your team do you like best in term of draft position?
B: Cavemannnn.....nuff said....oh he better perform or else...

W: How bout player from other team, who is the best player in term of draft position?

B: I think kris kardashian @9th is really something....especially after beruk goes down

W: Which team do you think had the strongest draft? (other than yourself)
B: I really like dirty duck n your team

W: If you can repeat the draft, what is the one thing you would do differently?
B: Maybe shoulda picked gasol in 1st round n go with rondo in 2nd...like i said,it was 2 fast n 2 furious for me...

W: Any last word for the other managers or the blog readers?
B: zzzzzzzzzzzzz...err what?did u say something?

SHAZAAAAAAAAAAAM!

And then we have Kolung, who are playing with us in COMLA league and the manager of team "Shazaam". Here are the interview with the fake rookie sensation who won the runner up last season:

W: what is your impression of the draft?
L: Been waiting for this draft for a looooong time. So i gotta say, it was LEGEN-wait for it-DARYYY

W: What do you think about auction draft?
L: It was OK. A new experience. But if I have to choose, I have to say I prefer the standard one better.

W: Which player in your team do you like best in term of auction $?
L: Still can't say. Have to see for the remaining of the season. But If I hv to choose, it's gotta be Lebron. He is my bread n butter.

W: How bout player from other team, who is the best player in term of auction $?
L: Melo...so far.

W: Which team do you think had the strongest draft? (other than yourself)
L:  Master Team and Dragon/theDuck

W: If you can repeat the draft, what is the one thing you would do differently?
L: Take Lebron and then wait, and spend in the last minute.

W: This is your 2nd year playing in this league, does it make it any easier?
L:  Nope. Not easy at all, especially when u are in a league with a bunch of fantasy freaks [:)]

W: Any last word for the other managers or the blog readers?
L: Bring it on, people! Shazaam will kick ur asses!! Y'all going down!!
