Lieberman is excited about the series.

"Los Angeles, the two-time defending champion, is still the favorite, but Detroit matches up better with the Sparks than any other team in the league. The Shock's starting five players are just as athletic as the Sparks' starters, and although Detroit doesn't have five All-Stars, it has more talent 1 through 11. Like the Sparks, the Shock are just as capable of scoring from all five positions, and Detroit just might be the team that has an answer inside for L.A.'s Lisa Leslie and DeLisha Milton."
