凯文·洛夫知道和勒布朗·詹姆斯并肩作战是什么感觉，他相信国王的洛杉矶湖人队是为了在季后赛取得更大的胜利而建立的。
作为克利夫兰骑士队的队友，洛夫和詹姆斯在2016年一起赢得了NBA总冠军，并在总决赛中连续四次出场，之后两人在周一进行了对决，这是后者前往洛杉矶后的首次对决。
洛夫在赛后对ESPN的戴夫·麦克梅纳明说：“这是不同的，因为这段时间太长了，我们彼此之间经历了太多的战斗。”我不想说这感觉很正常，但我觉得我们都在外面竞争，踢得很努力，但看到他和那支球队一起踢球显然是不同的。
“尤其是，即使我没有看到他和安东尼·戴维斯在一起，他们仍然觉得可以做一些特别的事情。”
35岁时，詹姆斯继续每晚对对手大打出手。
他在周一的128-99的胜利中又一次取得了统治性的表现，16投12中得到全场最高的31分，加上8分，这让他在NBA历史助攻榜上以第8名的成绩领先伊西亚托马斯。
詹姆斯以职业生涯最高的每场10.7次助攻领先所有球员。他将是仅次于纳什的第二大助攻冠军。
然而，洛夫承认，即使是他也不确定詹姆斯能否在他职业生涯的这个阶段立即让湖人队重新夺冠。
“每个人都有疑问，”爱说他们怎么说，我不是一个虔诚的人，但是，‘你想让上帝笑，告诉他你的计划？’除了死亡和税收，没有其他确定的事情，对吧？又一个陈词滥调。但这是真的。
“谁知道一切都会成功呢？但他们真的很幸运，很明显是洛杉矶，勒布朗，他们现在处于赢球模式。他们真的有机会。”

Love: LeBron, Lakers 'could do something special'
原文：
Kevin Love knows what it's like to play alongside LeBron James, and he believes the King's Los Angeles Lakers are built to make a deep playoff run.
After winning an NBA title together in 2016 - and making four straight appearances in The Finals - as Cleveland Cavaliers teammates, Love and James squared off Monday for the first time since the latter departed for Los Angeles.
"It was different because it's been so long and we've been through so many battles with each other," Love told ESPN's Dave McMenamin postgame. "I'm not going to say it felt normal, but I feel like we were both out there competing and playing hard, but seeing him play with that team is obviously different.
"Especially, even I didn't get to see him with (Anthony Davis) and it still feels like they could do something special."
At age 35, James continues to wreak havoc against opponents on a nightly basis.
He had another dominant performance in Monday's 128-99 win, scoring a game-high 31 points on 12-of-16 shooting to go along with eight dimes, which moved him ahead of Isiah Thomas for eighth on the NBA's all-time assists list.
James leads all players with a career-high 10.7 assists per game. He would be the second-oldest player behind Steve Nash to win the assists title.
Love admitted, however, that even he wasn't sure James could immediately vault the Lakers back into title contention at this stage of his career.
"Everybody did (have some doubt)," Love said. "What do they say, I'm not a religious guy, but, 'You want to make God laugh, tell him your plans?' There's no sure thing other than death and taxes, right? Another cliche. But it's true.
"Who is to know that it will all work out? But they got really fortunate that it's obviously L.A., it's LeBron, and they're in win-now mode. They really have a chance."
