Using Real Player Ratings and Real Player Production for the Lakers and the Celtics (as of February 5) we can begin to prepare ourselves for a very possible rematch between the two teams for the NBA Championship this June. All ratings are as of February 5. Sorry we didn't get this posted sooner, but the ratings are not going to be much different today from what they were on February 5.
First we will look at the ratings separately by team and then we will combine both teams to see how the players stack up even more clearly.
