Only the first preseason game but I like Coach Vogel so far. Also what he's been preaching since day 1 of training camp. He is not here to be your friend. He is here to make the #Lakers the best team they can be. Looking forward to seeing more. #LakeShow

#Lakers looked really good tonight. Lebron facilitated a ton, Anthony Davis looked like the best player on earth. Doesn't mean much, but damn.. AD is ridiculous
