The Golden State Warriors just dropped their 2026-27 schedule, and if the Scooby-Doo themed reveal video is any indication, fans might be in for a real snoozer of a season. Seriously, this thing was rough, and it kind of screams trouble for the Dubs.
This Video Was a Total Brick
Look, the social media teams in the NBA have a tough gig, no doubt. But when it comes to the Warriors’ attempt at making Schedule Release Day interesting, it was just… fine. And not “fine” in a good way. The whole Scooby-Doo theme fell flat. Depicting the Minnesota Timberwolves’ visit as a line of ants for Anthony “Ant” Edwards? A little lame, to be honest. At least Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler III R, and Steph Curry got to shine a flashlight on a window with the OKC Thunder in it while tackling some logo-headed ghosts, I guess. But for real, the source material says this video’s construction wasn’t creative, focused on “old, slow dudes,” and leaned on nostalgia for stuff that hasn’t been relevant in years. That’s a brutal assessment, and it makes you wonder what the team’s vibe is really like right now. The video just peters out at the end, which the article straight-up calls “just like the season.” Ouch.
A Schedule That Doesn’t Exactly Inspire
So, what about the actual games? The Warriors kick off their season on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers. Their home opener is set for Friday, Oct. 23, welcoming the Memphis Grizzlies to Chase Center. It’s a gentle start, with a six-game homestand early on and only two games outside their own time zone in the first three weeks. January looks like the kindest month, boasting 10 home games versus five on the road. But don’t get too comfortable. That kind month ends with a home contest against the San Antonio Spurs on Jan. 30, followed by an immediate rematch on Feb. 1. And that’s right before their longest road trip of the season: six games in 11 nights, jetting from Los Angeles to Chicago, then all the way to the East Coast. Plus, they’re looking at 15 back-to-backs next season: six at home, five on the road, and four where they play the first game at home and the second on the road. The Phoenix Suns are also on the docket, and with a schedule that winds down with a five-game cross-country road trip and back-to-back road games against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the last nine, this team will be tested.
The season starts with a road trip to L.A., and with that video hanging over things, fans better hope the on-court product has more punch than the schedule reveal. It feels like the season itself might reflect that uninspired video, so let’s hope the “old, slow dudes” can surprise everyone and find some new magic.
