The New York Liberty entered their penultimate game of the season caught in the between. The month of August, in which the Libs went 10-1, won the Commissioner’s Cup, and they officially joined the Las Vegas Aces as WNBA co-favorite, but that glorious four-week stretch is now a week old. And while the Liberty won their first three games of September, their chances of overtaking the Aces for the one-seed are nearly dead, given that all Vegas must do to lock up pole position is defeat the lowly Phoenix Mercury twice. Liberty players and coaches would never admit it, but it’s time to look ahead to the playoffs.
