My Stupid Struggle With WNBA Schedules
Seriously, trying to figure out when that New York Liberty vs Golden State Valkyries game actually happens should NOT be this hard. Like, why are there like a hundred different websites and apps screaming at me? Total mess.
I started like everyone else. Pulled out my phone. Opened the first sports app I saw. Typed in “New York Liberty.” Cool, their schedule popped up. But then, I needed to find the specific game against the Valkyries. Scrolled… and scrolled… past like twenty other teams and games. My thumb got tired. Found it! Except… it only showed the date. October something. Time? Radio silence. Arena? Maybe? Probably? Not sure. Useless.
Alright, fine. Switched apps. Tried the official WNBA site this time. Fancy graphics, player stats everywhere… but finding the game felt like solving a puzzle. Went to “Scores & Schedule,” picked the season. Finally found the Liberty section. Scrolled again. There it was! October 15th. But guess what? Still no damn time listed! Just said “TIME TBD.” Are you kidding me? Needed to know WHEN!
Got stubborn. Pulled up my laptop too. Had like four different tabs open:
- Team official sites
- League schedule page
- News sites hoping for updates
- Some random basketball forums
Spent like 20 minutes bouncing between them all. Found the date again (October 15th), but time? “To be announced.” Location? Barclays Center, Brooklyn. Okay, progress, but still missing the key info – when does tip-off actually happen?
Got coffee. Felt stupid for wasting time. Then it hit me. Duh. Just pick one source everyone agrees on and wait. Why was I running in circles? Stopped the tab madness. Decided the official WNBA app was “good enough” for knowing what game I cared about (Liberty vs Valkyries, Oct 15).
Checked it maybe once a week after that. Like, took 10 seconds. One day – boom! There it was. The app finally updated. October 15th, 7:00 PM Eastern Time. Barclays Center, Brooklyn. Finally. The whole stupid timeline confirmed.
Why is this my “simple guide”? Because it doesn’t need to be complicated. My practice was messy, but the lesson is easy:
- Pick ONE reliable source (I stuck with the WNBA app).
- Find the specific matchup (Liberty vs Valkyries, Oct 15).
- BE PATIENT. Check back occasionally until the time is listed.
- Don’t go crazy chasing every rumor. Save your sanity.
Yeah, I wasted time flailing around first. Learned the hard way. Skip that part. Find your one trusted source, mark the date, wait for the time to show up. Done. Seriously, it should be this simple from the start.
