They're currently sitting in a wild card spot and are one point back of Philadelphia for the 3 spot in the Metro with a game in hand.
Nothing makes sense.
Well, it's kind of obvious. They've had lots of close wins and a few blowout losses. Maybe it's a tactic, if you go down by a couple, give up and save energy for the next one haha.
