My Little Adventure to Get a Printable Golden State Warriors Schedule
Alright, so with the NBA season getting closer, that familiar itch started. You know the one – needing to know exactly when the Warriors are playing. My phone’s great and all, but there’s something about having a physical schedule I can just glance at. Stick it on the fridge, you know? So, I decided, this year, I’m getting a good, clean, printable version. No fuss.
First thing I did, naturally, was hop onto my computer. I typed in the usual stuff: “Golden State Warriors schedule.” And yeah, tons of results popped up. The official site, ESPN, all those big guys. But here’s the thing I’ve learned over the years: hitting ‘print’ on those pages is usually a disaster. You end up with half a forest worth of paper, ads cut off weirdly, and the actual schedule squeezed into a tiny corner. Not what I was after.
I remember one time, a couple of seasons back, I tried printing directly from one of those major sports websites. Man, it was a mess. It printed like six pages, most of it was just website navigation and random articles. My wife gave me that look, you know? The “really?” look. So, lesson learned.
This time, I was a bit more specific in my search. I tried things like “printable Warriors schedule 2023-2024” (or whatever the current season is when I’m doing this!) and “Golden State Warriors game calendar PDF.” Sometimes you strike gold and find a fan blog or a forum where someone’s already done the nice thing and made a clean PDF. Those are the best.
I clicked around for a bit. Found a few potentials, but some were already outdated, or they were still too cluttered for my liking. I just wanted something simple: date, opponent, time, maybe the TV channel if they had it. Nothing fancy. I’m not trying to print a whole media kit here!
So, here’s what I ended up doing. It was a little bit of a process, but worth it:
- I hunted down a good source list: After a bit of digging, I found a site that had all the games listed out pretty clearly. Not perfectly formatted for printing, mind you, but the raw data was there.
- Then, I got to copying: I carefully selected just the game info – dates, who they were playing, and the start times. Highlight, copy. Old school.
- Opened up a basic document: I just fired up a simple word processor. Nothing complex, just a blank page.
- Pasted and cleaned: This was the main bit of work. I pasted the text in. Then, I went through and tidied it all up. Got rid of any weird spacing, made sure the columns lined up nicely. I picked a nice, clear font that’s easy to read. No tiny text for these old eyes!
- Checked the layout: Before I wasted any ink, I did a print preview. Made sure it would fit neatly onto a page or two, not run off the edges. Adjusted the margins a tiny bit.
And then, the satisfying part: I hit the print button. Success! Out came a nice, clean, easy-to-read schedule. Just what I wanted. It took maybe 15-20 minutes total, but now I’ve got it.
It might sound like a bit of a faff for just a schedule, but honestly, having that piece of paper stuck where I can see it makes a difference. No more fumbling with my phone when someone asks, “Are the Dubs on tonight?” It’s right there. Now, I just need to make sure I’ve got enough snacks in for game nights. That’s the next mission!
