Los Angeles Lakers coach Frank Vogel isn’t resting as the league remains suspended. He wants his team to be ready if and when the league resumes.
“I began to watch some of our recent games and take notes on the way we were progressing so that we can make sure we can pick up where we left off whenever we are able to resume,” Vogel said as per Mike Trudell of Spectrum Sports Net.

With very very little chance of the regular season to resume again, Vogel has started looking at potential playoff opponents.
Vogel has his assistants “working on the playoff opponents as if the (regular) season were not to resume and they were to go right into the playoffs,” just in case. “So whenever we’re able to resume we’re ready to go.”

There’s still room from improvement for Los Angeles Lakers, feels Frank Vogel
Prior to the league’s suspension, the Lakers were on top of the Western Conference with 49 wins. On the back of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, they have been rising to the top of the NBA. Their 0.778 record is second only to the Bucks.
While the Lakers have been among the best teams in the league, Vogel feels there is still room for improvement.
Vogel: “We’ve just grown. We’ve built our package of offense, we’ve built our defensive coverages and our schemes and weapons we have there and that’s how I felt in terms of watching these recent games – I still think there’s room to grow and hopefully we’ll have that chance.”
