Personal news: I’m going all-in on covering the Wizards.

I’m starting a Substack to cover the team on-site and full time — daily news stories, practice notes, player quotes and more from Capital One Arena and beyond.

Big game tonight for the Wizards, who are looking to avoid a five-game losing streak.

Need others to step up. Can’t be so reliant on AD to carry the offense like he’s done this season.

Defensive effort must be better as well. Have let up on that end in recent games.

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

@9markel6 Can’t have 1 bench point in the first half

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

@NaeemMahdi3 Would be nice to see some of the young guys step up as offensive initiators. George and Dybantsa have done a good job so far. But need Bub/Tre/Bilal to step up offensively

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

Anthony Davis scored 44 points and the Wizards still lost by double digits.

Turnovers are an issue. But there’s a lot more wrong this with team amid a four-game losing streak.

@Free_Thinking1 The picture fit perfectly!

AJ Dybantsa on his defense:

"I've been telling coach I want to take that challenge. I want to guard the best player on the team. I got the wingspan for it. I got the size for it. I got the quickness for it. So it's just taking the challenge. I want to prove I'm a good defender.”

@greenlantern717 Sure. But why are you acting like he can’t get better as a 20 year old in his second season?

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

@greenlantern717 Some players take longer to develop than others. Not sure why you need him to be an elite player right now on a team that isn't trying to win a title this season.

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

@greenlantern717 He’s supposed to be much better than he’s been. That goes for most of the team as well

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

Tre Johnson's 24.5% 3PT% is the second-worst in the NBA among players with at least 50 attempts this season, trailing only Ace Bailey’s 22.6%.

Johnson has struggled mightily. But he's far from the only problem on a Wizards team shooting 29% from three:

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

@greenlantern717 Sure. He’s also 20 years old and hasn’t even played his first 82 games in his NBA career. Gotta be patient

Anthony Davis, who scored 44 points on Monday, sounded off on the Wizards' struggles after the team's fourth straight loss:

"We’re not playing any defense … We’re not rebounding. We’re giving up open threes, fouling, not guarding the ball. Everything.”

@yazkall I don't think I saw any of that. Will have to rewatch the game and see

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

I asked Brian Keefe why the same issues keep hurting the Wizards:

“We're a new team. We're growing and learning. We have to take all this evidence that we have, use it, look at it, teach, coach. Those are things we're doing. Just got to build it more consistent.”
