Set Your Lineups

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.
