Three game losing streak? Two wins in its last fifteen? Still within touching distance of an Eastern Conference playoff spot? Yep, that’s our beloved Atlanta United. Even with a season as dismal as this one has been, a win Sunday against last-placed FC Cincinnati could send the Five Stripes into the 10th and final postseason position with one game to play. And yet, the beckonings of the playoffs don’t seem all that enchanting.
Safe to say, none of the problems that have plagued Atlanta this year could be rectified by a deep post season run.
