    Set Your Lineups #015 (ft. Russell & Sunny) - The BBKS NBA Finals Preview

    We're back after a 2-round playoff hiatus to preview the NBA Finals with what has been touted as a scientifically perfect guest host pairing, as Russel and Sunny join the pod. We cover a bunch of pertinent topics including the vitriolic anti-OKC discourse, Lakers fans rooting for the Spurs, SGA being straight-up ugly, if Wemby translates to the casual viewer, Knicks fans being 4 wins away from acquiring a nuclear weapon, the biggest what-if sports franchise championship pop-offs, Ben Kessler getting his trophy and teeth cleaned by Sunny in the same week, and so much more.

    Set Your Lineups #014 (ft. Bobby) - This Isn't Toxic Masculinity... Yet

    After a brief hiatus during the beginning of the NBA Playoffs, Chad had to dust off the ol' podcast mic and get back to business... and he brought Bobby Wilson, his biggest crony, along riding shotgun. The two discuss every 1st Round matchup with a "words per game" gimmick, discuss a number of interesting developments, some moments that may have grinded our gears, and finally address the Group Chat Photo Crisis.

    Set Your Lineups #013 (ft. Ben) - Why Is Taj Gibson?

    We've crowned a new champion for 2026... and much to the dismay of his downtrodden subjects, Ben Kessler, our benevolent dictator and manager of Jakarr's All-Stars, has taken the chip. We break down the closer-than-expected Finals matchup, the Memphis Grizzlies playing a 22-man squad of fake players, 15 hours of unwatchable NBA basketball, the messy Milwaukee / Giannis break up, thoughts and prayers for Lakers fans from a Clippers fan, and the silly, stupid team name in Las Vegas.

    Set Your Lineups #012 (ft. Joe) - The Sixers Need to Play as Few Games as Possible

    In an unbelievable twist of fate, Joe Kessler, 2-time defending champion co-manager, and the most requested guest from our group chat, makes his SYL debut! We cover an array of topics including: Chicago and Philly sports similarities, Eagles fans hitting rock bottom at a Waffle House outside of Jacksonville, the bittersweet Joel Embiid story, a contentious Semifinals matchup versus his own son, a convincing Wilt GOAT case, and so much more.

    Set Your Lineups #011 (ft. Greg) - I Sat Next to a Cardboard Cutout at a Playoff Game

    The quarterfinals have concluded and only 4 teams remain in our trivial basketball simulation. My opponent in the semifinals, Greg Gerschenson (manager of Sombor Shuffahlas), makes his podcast debut. We cover a wide range of topics including the Denver Sports thingamajig, a cursed Bradley Beal bobblehead, greedy Lakers fans telling you how to feel, Jrue You's vs. Jakarr's in the heavyweight match of the century, SlamBall being 33% Jackass, why Oakland should get the All-Star game, why Hawaii shouldn't get an NBA team, and some of our favorite pure shooters of all time.

    Set Your Lineups #010 (ft. Sunny) - Mikal Bridges is WEIRD but he's not CRAZY

    THE FANTASY PLAYOFFS ARE HERE and to break it down we had to bring in Sunny Dogra, manager of Sunny Overstands Hoops, and an expert of vibes and Marques Tuiasosopo game tape. We run the gamut of interesting topics: a BBKS Playoff Preview, Mikal Bridges having zero dawg in him, player performances that NBA2K can't allow, Ja Morant operating a firearm better than LaMelo operates a vehicle, a wild week for Kobe stans, and a parting message for all you Tim Duncan lovers.

    Set Your Lineups #009 (ft. Stefs) - Cookies + Cash Considerations

    Coming off a record-setting downloads for last week's episode, Stefs makes his long-awaited podcast debut as a rebuttal to his hordes of critics. We cover a lot of ground including: his disdain for peanut butter cookies, those pesky trade rules, an audit of our league's commissioner, Ballwashing, and KPJ ending the short-lived bromance of Ben and Chad.

    Set Your Lineups #008 (ft. Ben) - The BBKS Trade Deadline Special

    Our BENevolent dictator and commissioner joins us for the 1st annual BBKS Trade Deadline Special, presented by [imagine a sponsor here]. In this stuffed 1-hour pod we discuss every buyer, seller, Stefs, and the letter grades each of them received at the deadline. Don't blame me for the grades y'all, Ben is just too irrationally confident!!
