A Liberty-Aces WNBA playoffs rematch has fans so pumped

Grab your popcorn, folks. It’s gonna be a MOVIE.

The New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces will meet again in the WNBA playoffs, and it will be absolute cinema.

New York has likely had a bad taste in its mouth for nearly a year after watching the Aces celebrate a championship on its home floor. By all accounts, the Liberty haven’t likely forgotten that Kelsey Plum said they weren’t exactly a team, either.

On Vegas’ side, the Aces didn’t look like a championship team for much of the year. Shaky defense and inconsistent offense plagued the back-to-back champs despite an otherworldly season from A’ja Wilson. However, the Aces went 9-1 during the last 10 games of the season and swept Seattle in the opening round of the playoffs, setting up a Liberty-Aces Finals rematch.

Not having both of these teams in the Finals feels like a cruel joke. But fans have totally embraced the chaos.

Here’s how they reacted:
