Finals should be a GREAT series. It reminds me a bit of the 2012 and 2015 Fever/Lynx series, where Minnesota had star studded super teams and the Fever had scrappy teams led by 1 star and a bunch of support players, but at the end of the day, either team can win. This time the Liberty are the full fledged super team, and the Lynx are in the mold of the scrappy underdog.
I think this series is a toss up. Collier is playing better than anyone in the world right now and she has a solid supporting cast where players know their roles well and execute, and most importantly, they're very well coached. The Liberty are also playing great and look like a much improved team with Fiebich in the lineup. She has been a major weapon as a 6-4 wing with dead eye shooting. Sabrina is playing all-world right now and has been the standout so far for the Libs so far in the playoffs. JJ/Stewart are playing at about a 7.5/10 for what they're capable of, I think Stewart especially has a higher gear she hasn't hit yet, but she's playing quite well even if her shooting is a little off so far.
I'll be shocked if it's a sweep either way, realistically I think this goes 4, likely 5 games. I think the pressure is on the Liberty though. If they can't win a title after assembling these super teams the past 2 years (and getting past the Aces this year), it'd be a big disappointment.
