It's their best line-up against everyone except the team that they're currently playing against for the championship.  This Liberty team was constructed to beat the Aces, which they did.  They're not constructed to beat a team that they didn't anticipate having to face (Lynx, who have now defeated them [B]four times in five tries[/B]).  You could beat this year's Aces with length because they didn't move the ball well at all and didn't shoot the three well enough.  Minnesota, on the other hand, moves the ball so well and shoots the three extremely well--which nullifies length.  And when those three-point shots are dropping, there's no one that Ionescu can hide on defensively.

Phee essentially cannot be doubled because of the ball movement and the three-point barrage.  So what can the Liberty do?  You have to hope that they don't make a ton of three-point shots (they shoot 38% from three on the season, which is absurd), but that hasn't happened so far this season--has it?
